Teng-Ko Weng(1960-)
Teng-Ko Weng is the founder and chairman of Glorious
Art Institute and has over 40 years of teaching
experience underneath him. Teng-Ko has won countless
awards and accolades over his illustrious career.
Teng-Ko’s story starts back in 1979, where he studied at
the Fu Sing Trade School in Taiwan graduating with a
Diploma in Fine Arts. When he was 20, Teng-Ko fell ill to
meningitis, and lost a part of his hearing and was at
death’s door. Teng-Ko owes his miraculous recovery to
his Christian faith. His incredible life experiences and
extensive learning process has laid a profound
foundation for his art career.
Since immigrating to Canada in 1995, Teng-Ko has built
up a solid reputation for his teaching through the
Teng-Ko Weng Art Studio, where he has trained
hundreds of outstanding young artists and professional
art students, many of which have attended the world’s
top art and design schools.
Weng’s work has been met with critical acclaim and has
published numerous albums of his paintings, and has
authored an autobiography that has been well-received
throughout Asia. His works are frequently on display in
art galleries and museums throughout the world.
A few notable exhibitions would be at The Second
Annual Christian Arts Festival in Los Angeles, the Pang
Pik Gallery (Taiwan), Hao Lai Art Center (Taiwan),
Shadbolt Center (Canada), Langley Centennial Museum
(Canada), and the Deer Lake Gallery (Canada).
