Cheng Tai-Le graduated from the Chinese Painting Group of the Department of Fine Arts

of National Taiwan Normal University. He was taught by Lin Yushan, Lu Foting, Wang Zhuangwei, Wang Beiyue,and other professors when he was in school. He was awarded first place in the Chinese painting group when he graduated.Excellent and solid academic art training in the early stage is an important cornerstone for his future art creation.

Cheng Tai-Le has recently applied the curved structure of seal script to his calligraphy. Not only do the themes of his works respond to the current social situation, but the forms also break away from the framework of traditional brush and ink. Hepresents his thoughts and feelings about life in his works. In an article written by Huang Zhiyang, the professor commented:"(Cheng's works) draw nutrients from the Chinese classics, integrate what he has seen and thought in life, combine sentences in the classics with modern life, and have both linked and reachable." From this, we can see the unique feature of being close to people in Cheng Tai-Le's calligraphy.
