Taipei, b. 1983

Born in 1983 in Taipei, the artist graduated from Taipei National University of the Arts, majoring in Fine Arts. His early works focus on portraiture through erasure and alteration, offering a personal emotional interpretation of everyday social relationships. Recently, his work has explored narrative methods and stylistic models established in various periods of art history, using classical painting techniques to piece together, simulate, and reshape images that evoke the fantastical feel of a stage play. Through the language of painting itself, he seeks to examine the tangible and intangible distances between viewer and artwork, as well as the gaps and discontinuities in Taiwan’s reception of Western art, shaped by historical and cultural contexts. In 2008, he held his first solo exhibition, “Days Like These,” at Dynasty Gallery in Taipei. His works have received the Taiwan New Art Award, the Kaohsiung Award, and the 2005 Young Artist Award, and are part of the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts collection. Recent exhibitions include Taipei Art Fair, Instinc Art Space in Singapore, Eslite Gallery in Taipei, and Aki Gallery.
