+ OVERVIEW

Hung Yi is an original artist featuring strong personal style and distinguishing characters in the development history of Taiwanese Contemporary Art. His works are bright, vibrant, lively, peculiar, and whimsical. Hung Yi once said “The diversifying creative forms are overwhelming in the flourishing contemporary art world. In figuring what Taiwanese characters are, I found people often neglected the very close things. I considered art a part of life. No matter what one is creating, the creation must be combined with one’s surroundings in order to make it vital and meaningful.”

Recently, Hung Yi has been widely invited to exhibit in Taiwan and abroad. In 2013, he was invited for a solo exhibition at the Hakone Open-Air Museum in Japan, the museum with the great international reputation. In 2014, his solo exhibition was held in Hong Kong Maritime Square, Taichung City Hall Plaza, and San Francisco Lake Merced Golf Club. In 2015, he was invited by Ed Lee, the Mayor of San Francisco, and the San Francisco City Hall to exhibit a large-scale landscape art exhibition in San Francisco’s Civic Center Plaza. Early this year (2016), Hung Yi was invited to exhibit the grand solo exhibition in the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung. With bountiful local elements and totem paintings in unconstrained imaginative style, Lucky Tiger brings the good luck, Hung conveys a sense of delight and merriment through his sculptures.
