Huang Hung-Teh
Born in Tainan in 1956, Huang Hung-Teh graduated from the Department of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Academy of Arts (now National Taiwan University of Arts) and has won multiple prestigious artistic and cultural awards in Taiwan. He is deemed one of the driving forces behind the development of modern art in Tainan. Huang's early paintings have large proportions of blank space, creating a majestic and flowing sense of space. His later work focuses more on writing. Through observing the appearances of objects and internalizing such observations, he is able to project his own life and emotion on different objects with literary brushstrokes full of emotion, and transform the present moment into lively but simple lines on wooden planks, paper boards, and bricks. Freed from his thoughts and painted with a sense of speed, his seemingly spontaneous and handwritten paintings are actually delicately and precisely thought out.

Li An-Cheng
Born in Yunlin in 1959 and passed away in Kaohsiung in 2015, Li An-Cheng and his elder brother Li Mao-Cheng are viewed as the representative figures of "Taiwanese contemporary ink painting." His self-learned painting manifests a sense of Chan, and his creative themes are inspired by nature and moments in life. He represents his heartfelt experience of the landscape and customs of the rural countryside in Taiwan, and demonstrates the idea of natural cycles and interconnected lives in the abstract form. His work is not entirely drawing of nature but rather delineation of inner contemplation. Varying ink and water surfaces as intertwining black and white. Li's keen perception of ink allows him use simple colors to portray the myriads of atmospheric changes in every misty and brimming ink painting.

Cheng Po-Tsung
Born in Taipei in 1982, Cheng Po-Tsung holds a BA in Fine Arts from Taipei National University of the Arts. He likes drawing so much that he sometimes draws on whatever paper at hand. Therefore, his works might be painted on notebook pages, post-it pads, recycled bookkeeping pages, coasters, etc. Art making comes natural to him and is assimilated into his life. So, he does not have many works created for exhibitions. Because his works are not always on canvases, his audience is given an opportunity to reflect on the art of painting. Cheng paints landscape, figures, and sometimes abstract paintings, and his works have moved from fine, detailed delineations to relaxed, simplified images, revealing the changes in the artist's state of mind.

Lin Yi-Hsuan
Born in Yilan in 1985, Lin Yi-Hsuan obtains his BA in Fine Arts from Taipei National University of the Arts, and currently lives in Brazil. He has won Honorable Mention in Taipei Arts Award in 2006 and the Selected Prize in Output Award in the Netherlands in 2007. His early work mainly focused on journal writing and graffiti, creating uncomplicated art with immediate media in notebooks or pieces of paper available around. His creative style is free and his form and rhythm lucid and lively. The theme of his art is mainly the documentation of his life and observation in a foreign land, and painting becomes an artistic practice. Because he is not afraid to experience life and pursue freedom, he has used exuberant and pure lines to depict the transient moments and fantastic imagination.
