Hsu YungHsu’s 2016 Solo Exhibition【The Miniature Being】
【The Miniature Being】Hsu YungHsu’s 2016 Solo Exhibition
In June, you are cordially invited by Inart Space to visit the first Hsu YungHsu Solo Exhibition in Tainan.
Previously working as a teacher, zither performer, and even dreamed of becoming a professional athlete, the life journey of Hsu YungHsu took a turn at aged 31. An invitation from a friend to co-establish a pottery studio in Kaohsiung has since opened an artist door for him. In the early stage of learning, Hsu YungHsu started from self-taught. While fumbling in the process, he was dissatisfied why pottery would confine to craft into practical “utensils.’’ He then gradually turned towards the development of modeling art. In comparison to the performance of glaze, he focused on embryonic modeling creations that allow him to master the firing results more easily.
At the initial stage of learning, Hsu YungHsu bought as many renowned books containing the knowledge of “pottery” and “ceramic” as possible. He learnt hard by himself, up to the extent of jotting down the entire English books with dense notes. This artist who cannot help working with the kiln has displayed the strongest determination and perseverance to develop his own creations up to the extreme. Later on, after enrolling in Graduate Institute of Applied Arts, Tainan National University of the Arts, he won First Prize in International Ceramics Festival MINO, Japan in 2008 after going through solid training and hardship. He has since then become well-known. The pottery work “As Big As a Nest and yet As Thin As a Cicada’s Wing” has become the most important insignia of Hsu YungHsu.
