KUO Wei-kuo
Taiwanese 1960
Born in Taipei, Taiwan. Kuo was the winner of the Lion Arts Rookie Prize in 1983, the 8th "Modern Painting Prize of Li Zhong-Sheng Foundation" in 2003, and the "Liao Chi-chun Oil Painting Award" in 2005, and has organized eight solo exhibitions since 1993. Starting with the "Diagram of Commotion and Desire" in 1998, Kuo has explored his dark dreams in his four chronological exhibitions, "From the Deep Forest 1997-1999, Faint Dawn 2000-2002, Enlightenment 2003-2005", and "Towards a Bright Start 2006", by digging out the soul from the depths to re-discover the light of hope. These four chronological series touch audiences when their eyes meet the author's.
