Fu-Chun TSAI

Tsai Fu-Chun，Born in 1983 in Taipei, Taiwan.

Tsai Fu-Chun is known for her meticulous depictions of white rabbits whose fur morphs into koi-like red scales and whose limbs transform into translucent fins—creating hybrid “creature” figures that serve as the protagonists of her ongoing series.

Tsai’s work seamlessly merges Eastern and Western artistic sensibilities. Drawing from the compositional structure and naturalistic techniques of Western still-life painting, she also incorporates the tonal subtleties, ink gradations, and spatial poetics of traditional East Asian ink art. Through transformation and hybridity, her fusion of the rabbit and the koi evokes a visual and conceptual interplay of opposites: purity and complexity, fragility and strength, land and water, fur and scales.

By integrating narrative objects such as sharp scissors and floating balloons, Tsai heightens the psychological tension and visual intrigue within her compositions—inviting viewers into a world that balances elegance, unease, and allegory.
