Huang Chih-Cheng

Born in Miaoli and grew up in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, I received my M.F.A. from Tunghai University and became a full-time artist after graduation. Deeply influenced by my past training in ink wash painting and glue color, I often apply mixed media including ink, cotton threads, and photo images on a foil-based foundation to experiment various possibilities of presentation. I pay close attention to topics concerning personal family history, issues on life and death, lust display, etc. I was delighted to be the winner of the 2015 Next Art Tainan and selected for Tianmei Art Foundation's 2016 and 2019

Taiwan Contemporary Artists Overseas Visit Program. Also, I’m selected for Tianmei Art Foundation's 2021 Contemporary Artists Publish Project. My artworks are collected by Tainan Museum of Fine Arts and National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts. I also participated in a joint exhibition ‘FINE ART / UNIVERSITY SELECTION’ in Tsukuba Museum of Art in Tsukuba, Japan, ‘DREAMS HABITATIONS’ and ‘Flowers of Immense Charm’ in National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, ‘Unjust Deadline-Postwar Journalists’ in National Human Rights Museum, ‘Reading Sexaulities’ in National Museum of Taiwan Literature.

Fascinated with the solidity and frailty of metal leaf, Chih-Cheng's art centers upon issues of sensation of time and life to death. He focus on the factors of phenomenon, questioning the reality of contemporary society through his own individual distinctiveness. He believes boundaries don’t really exist between everything, only what matters is how you look it. As an artist, he implies different formation of the world.
