Sheng-Hsiung HUNG

HUNG Sheng-Hsiung was born in Kaohsiung in 1998. He currently lives and works in Taipei. In his art practice, Hung Sheng-Hsiung works with diverse medias, including installation, multimedia, and sculpture to deal with the mediating relations among material, space and the body. He has focused on the plastic realities involved in the nature of sculpture, and has utilized multidimensional language of media to expand the scope of sculpture and propose new ideas, trying to shape a new direction and formalism of sculpture. Hung' s creative approaches include sculpting piles of soil, collaging found objects, and creating damages by carving, through which he unearths and reveals spatial-temporal traces made by the changes of a place, turning these traces into his aesthetic conception through his art practice.
