Chih-Wei HSU

Taiwanese　1972

HSU creates an obscure atmosphere on the canvas with his unique artistic language, and builds a scene where he places the visual characters to depict the appearance of his passed youth, the youth he shared with his contemporaries. His works is miniature of his childhood, and the combination of multiple subculture, such as cartoon, comic, and the visual figures from the video game, which were all created by the time he grew up, at the same time influenced his creation process.
