2025 Artist
Yu-Jung CHEN 《The Revisit》｜2025
Der-Horng Art Gallery
Currently he lives and works in Tainan, Taiwan. Yu-Jung CHEN holds a MFA in Institute of Music from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, and he majored in multimedia composition. CHEN has undertaken wide-ranging work, including site-specific installations, sound art, new media and performances. In his recent works, he has been focusing on the interactions between space, personal emotions and psychological experiences. He tries to blur the abstract boundaries of perceptions by switching between vision and hearing in space. Most of his artworks start with the conception of space to create a new intermediary space through the mapping of light and information visualisation, thereby revealing a dialectical relationship between real and sensory existence.
Over the recent past, he has also begun to experiment with the interactive and improvised relations between humans and non-human elements through AI computing technology to explore the possibility of dialogue between humans and virtual species. He mainly leverages sound as a creative element in his artworks to further explore the sensory imagination of rationality, technology and spirituality.

Lien-Chin HOU 《Home》｜2014
The Moolah Multi-Art Space
For sculptor Hou Lien-Chin, creation is not just a technical process—it’s a deep, personal expression. As he says, “Creation is an inner presentation, not just manipulation. The artist’s personality, emotions, and preferences naturally shape the work.” Trained in stone carving at Tainan National University of the Arts, Hou believes that true art stems from within, shaped by the artist’s unique inner world. His work reveals the purity of the self, untouched by external expectations.
Drawing inspiration from observing people and everyday life, Hou channels these moments into his sculptures, turning them into emotional expressions and personal reflections. Working with the hard, heavy material of stone, he blends thoughtful insight with skilled technique to create works that resonate with warmth and humanity. For Hou, each piece is both an emotional release and a journey toward self-discovery, offering a satisfying sense of resolution once completed.

HSIA, Ai-Hua 《To the Reviving Woods》｜2012
The Moolah Multi-Art Space
Taiwanese artist Ai-Hua Hsia uses the traditional dry lacquer technique to explore the subconscious through sculpture, painting, and installation. Her work reflects deep emotional landscapes and dreamlike forms.
She has joined international residencies across the U.S., Japan, and Romania, including ISCP New York and Fukuoka Asian Art Museum. In recent years, her exhibitions in Japan—centered on healing and hope during the pandemic—have deeply resonated with local communities.

Ko-Wei LAI《Plastic of Ceramic》｜2023
Der-Horng Art Gallery
Lai Ko-Wei’s works often involve the use of molds to create pieces primarily in ceramic and plastic. Through material transformation, intensive physical labor, and the collection of materials, they explore the blurred boundaries between space, scale, value, identity, and systems—seeking to evoke ambiguous imaginations through the contradictions inherent in these states.

Yu-Ching LIN & Hsing-Yu WEI 《Moris Kindom》｜2018
Dynasty Gallery
Lin Yu-Ching & Wei Hsing-Yu are a collaborative artist duo who have been creating together for over 17 years. Their works are characterized by patiently layered gradients and color blocks, forming a rich, moist, and serene visual ecosystem. This balanced use of color evokes the softness of traditional tempera or fresco painting, reminiscent of European religious murals with a sense of synchronicity—condensing long narratives into a single frame that invites viewers to freely explore and immerse themselves in every detail.
At the heart of their work is “Wulala,” a guiding spirit-like character that carries the artists’ anxieties about the unknown and their passionate hopes for the future. Wulala leads viewers into a vivid, fantastical world of imagination. Over time, Wulala and its companions have taken on diverse forms, each embodying different messages from the artists. Accompanied by cryptic poetic phrases, like whispers from a vinyl record, the works gently unveil the hidden murmurs of reality, guiding the audience into deeper, dreamlike inner landscapes.

Hsin-Yin LIU 《Straight to the sky》｜2022
AKI Gallery
Born in Taiwan, Hsin-Ying Liu lives and works between Malaysia and Taiwan. Her practice transforms abstract sensations of life and perception into visual whispers, breaths, and force through painting. With a unique sensitivity, she reshapes reality, nature, and humanity—exploring the emotional and structural relationships between herself and her surroundings.
Her flowing lines and moisture-rich colors extend outward like soft voices, infused with a strong sense of self-awareness. In her works, bold, raw strokes and layered forms seem to speak of a crumbling urban civilization, overtaken by wild imagination, where nature and spirit rise freely through the cracks.

AKI Gallery
German artist Christoph RUCKHÄBERLE studied animation at CalArts and painting at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig under Arno Rink. A leading figure of the “New Leipzig School,” his work spans painting, publishing, and experimental theater.
His vibrant, puzzle-like compositions feature distorted, cartoonish figures and bold patterns. Deconstructing form and space with playful precision, Ruckhäberle invites viewers to create their own narratives within his fragmented scenes.

Wong-Shen SU《Cross-sea Bridge》｜2017
The Moolah Multi-Art space
SU, Wong-Shen born in Puzi City, Chiayi, Taiwan, graduated from the College of Chinese Culture (Chinese Culture University Department Of Fine Arts). Now lives and works in Tainan, Taiwan.
“The current works are the improvisations in the wilderness under vexation and depression.
The scenario comes from:
The music from the bundles of CDs beside the music
Insects parasiting under the rotten leaves
Traditional food market
Neighbor’s TV
The Panping－Shan Trail
Uniform－invoice prize
Waiting
A dog coming often begging for food
A dismantled village
Burnt leaves
Rivers that cut Taiwan Island
The color of tea
Time
Lonely dumbbells
Daydreams with eyes open
The word that I don’t remember
Lemon juice
Text on a real estate ad
Tweedle of Muller’s Barbet
Traffic report
Moods of the politicians
Air pressure
Touring cost
Paint wasted
That cup of warm milk before sleep”

Hsi-Te, SUNG《風華》｜2024
Dynasty Gallery
Born in Keelung in 1964, Hsi-Te SUNG holds a Doctorate in Fine Arts from Tokyo University of the Arts and is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Sculpture at the College of Fine Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts (NTUA). From 2001 to 2010, he taught in the Department of Visual Communication Design at NTUA. With a professional background in both design and aesthetics, he explores the contrast between the ephemeral and the eternal, using concepts to guide his technical expressions.
The themes of "humanity," "movement," "environment," and "spatial context" have always been central to SUNG's artistic exploration. He seeks to infuse warmth into the stark, reflective nature of stainless steel, utilizing color and light refraction to soften its cold surface. By integrating immaterial elements such as light, motion, and magnetism, he constructs multi-dimensional possibilities within his works. In recent years, in addition to kinetic art, he has focused on steel-cutting techniques, exploring the contrast between polished stainless steel and rugged steel textures. Through his landscape series, he delves into materiality and the expressive aesthetics of spatial interpretation.

Atsuo SUSUKI《carved paintingーInside and outside》｜2024
TEZUKAYAMA GALLERY
Suzuki, born in Aichi Prefecture, completed his studies in 2001 at the Graduate School of Education, Shizuoka University. Currently, he is an active artist based in his hometown of Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture. He calls his own works “Carved Painting”, and by carving out with a carving knife the multiple pigment layers painted repeatedly on the panels, he produced many works with an art style that paints various design patterns. The production method is similar to carved lacquer in terms of techniques, but the surface of the paintings created by Suzuki offers to the viewers vivid traces of an artist’s conduct to an extent where one can even feel the artist’s breath. And, at the same time, the fault lines on the pigments that manifested through the repeated act of “carving” tell a story about the enormous amount of time the artist had spent confronting the works.
