Amongst the contemporary artists of Taiwan, Hung Yi is a highly individualistic artist of his time, whose creations are inspired by life of artist himself. By merging the languages and symbols of contemporary Taiwan society in his works, his own artistic language transcends tradition, modernism and contemporary society, providing perspectives from the present in a modernistic manner.

Hung Yi’s art career began in Taichung, Taiwan. In recent years, he has successfully held major exhibitions both domestically and internationally, showcasing his works at places such as the Hakone Open-Air Museum in 2013, the San Francisco City Hall in 2015, and the streets of Broadway in 2016. His works are also popular amongst the locals of Taiwan, as evidenced by the many grand public exhibitions he has held in all of Taiwan’s major cities, including Taipei, New Taipei City, Taoyuan and Taichung. It’s because of Hung Yi’s exceptional upbringing that his works from different stages of his life all have one thing in common: a strong sense of appeal and vitality. Regardless of age or cultural background, all viewers of his work can feel the boundless imagination stored within his creations.

One of Hung Yi’s works, “Cat,” was once displayed at the Hakone Open-Air Museum in Tokyo, Japan. Its adorable figure leaves a long-lasting impression on its viewers. Hung Yi is like a magician who is full of delightful surprises, using his creations to breathe life and joy into our world.
