台灣藝術家吳丁賢（1963～）生於雲林，1999年取得美國舊金山藝術學院美術碩士（M.F.A.），曾任台灣藝術大學美術系助理教授逾二十年，長期深耕藝術教育與創作。

吳丁賢的創作以油畫為主，線條是他最核心的語言。他從大地、農村、城市橋梁等生活場景中提煉形式，將具體的地景記憶轉化為抽象的結構與律動。畫面看似極簡，實則層次豐富。他慣以濃烈的色彩與粗曠的筆觸起筆，再以白色一層層覆蓋，讓多餘的喧囂沉入底層，最終留在表面的，是歷經取捨後最核心的線條與色彩。

近年的「舞線系列」是吳丁賢創作的持續深化，留白的比例及線條亦越精煉，帶有中國水墨的意境，極具現代感的張力與節奏。他曾獲中華民國全國美展油畫類第一名、荷蘭紀念梵谷百週年繪畫精神獎等多項肯定，並於台灣、美國多地舉辦個展及聯展，作品廣受喜愛與收藏。
 

Wu Ting-Hsien(b. 1963, Yunlin, Taiwan) received his M.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1999 and spent over two decades as an assistant professor at National Taiwan University of Arts, where he maintained a sustained commitment to both teaching and studio practice.

Wu works primarily in oil, with line as his central language. Drawing from the landscapes of his everyday: farmland, villages, the overpass cutting through a city . He distills lived geography into abstraction, finding structure and rhythm where others might see only the familiar. His paintings read as minimal, but they are built from abundance. He begins with bold, saturated color and loose, gestural strokes, then covers the surface layer by layer in white, letting the excess recede.

His ongoing Dance of Lines series pushes this further. White now dominates, the lines grow more spare, and the work carries something of the classical Chinese ink tradition, its negative space, its restraint, alongside a distinctly contemporary tension and energy. Wu has received numerous awards including First Prize at the National Oil Painting Exhibition of the Republic of China and the Van Gogh Centenary Spirit of Painting Award in the Netherlands. His work has been exhibited across Taiwan and the United States, and is held in private collections.
