About the Artist
In 1984, Tang Khai Peng became one of the disciples of the Malaysian calligraphy pioneer, Zheng Yifeng (1911-1989), who studied under Li Jian (1882–1956), with Li himself apprenticing under the renowned late Qing artist Li Ruiqing (1867-1920). He held several important positions in art associations, including the former vice president and current committee member of the Malaysian Contemporary Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Association; the former founder and president of the association’s Perak division; Secretary-General of the Perak Bonsai and Suiseki Association; and the vice president of the Mei An Calligraphy & Painting Society, just to name a few.
邓启平是著名马来西亚早期书法先贤郑一峰的弟子。郑一峰（1911-1989）师承李健，是梅庵李瑞清金石书派的重要传承者。从中国南来后定居于北马，在霹雳州担任多所华校校长，并积极传播书法文化，被誉为“百体书法家”及“马来西亚第一笔”。邓启平自小酷爱书画艺术，于1984年拜入郑一峰门下。如今，邓启平在多个艺术协会担任要职，如大马国际现代书画联盟总会前任副总会长及现任全国书法评委、国际现代书画联盟霹雳州联委会前任创会会长（2008–2019）及现任副会长、马来西亚霹雳盆栽雅石协会秘书长、马来西亚书艺协会永久会员、马来西亚梅庵书画会副会长、马来西亚怡保山城诗社永久会员，以及郑一峰门生联谊会创会人。
他曾作为代表参加海外书法研讨会，并筹办多项书法赛事及大展，为本地书画发展作出极大贡献。在五十年艺术生涯中，他已创作逾千幅画并挥写500张字体，年轻时更是屡获殊荣，许多餐馆与商业机构皆特聘他为其题字。所办义展有“菩萨在人间 - 邓启平书画义展”，怡保舜菀酒店（2011）；联展有：“华风心象”全国书画大展，南方大学文物与艺术馆（2022）、“凛然正气”书画全国大展，马六甲七里村艺术馆（2022）、国际文化书法联盟大展，吉隆坡（2005）等。2021年，邓启平被收录于全球华人善文化书画大展海外书法作者名单。
