"To me, these precious moments that I wish to capture are not the ones that will remind people of the so- called "beautiful sceneries” at their first sight… they are the moments of life, memories, and the people who I met that I wish to keep forever. It's included everything I feel and create the work base on my feeling, be honest with myself. All my works are part of me. ” - Hsi Chun Huang
Artist statement:
Hsi Chun loves to observe and portray the moments that touch him in his daily life.
Hsi Chun's meticulous strokes conjure his delicate senses alive. These everyday sceneries become vibrant under his paintbrush, and create an intimacy that engages the audiences to enjoy a world of imagination in their own perspectives. Or when they read his comments of those moments, they can experience and feel his emotions of regrets, joy, anger, and excitement…
