HUANG KO WEI

Biography / Selected Works / Exhibitions / Related News
​
Huang Ko Wei, born in Taipei in 1988, now lives and works in Taipei. He holds a BFA and an MFA degree from the Taipei National University of the Arts. Huang’s painting practice investigates a wide range of subject matters, including landscape, still-life, and portraiture, in which the artist attempts at obscuring the boundaries between subjects and negative space in order to expand the vocabulary of figurative painting. Through his adept technicality and semi-fictional compositions, the works of Huang provoke a strange yet familiar viewing experience sourcing from collages and archival photographs. Under the fluxes of brushstrokes, Huang introduces the ever-changing forces of the world into his paintings, where the representational order is greatly agitated and steered towards a more fluid galaxy, containing the imagination in a constant spot of the edge. His solo exhibitions include: Puzzle, AKI Gallery, Leipzig, 2021; Roll, AKI Gallery, Taipei, 2021; One Die, AKI Gallery, Taipei, 2021; Phantom Gray, AKI Gallery, Taipei, 2015; Irrational Number, VT Artsalon, Taipei, 2013; Post-Paradise, Agora Art Salon, Taipei, 2011. Selected group exhibitions at: Gallery Vacancy, Shanghai; 2020 Taiwan Biennial, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Taichung; Eslite Gallery, Taipei; dmwe Art Gallery, Taichung; Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Art, Kaohsiung.
