Double Square 双方藝廊

Huang Lan-Ya received her MFA from Taipei National University of the Arts in 2002. After graduation, she started a career as a professional artist and has run the “One Year Gallery” art project. During 2005 and 2007, she conducted art residencies in various museums and artist villages in the US, Belgium, Korea and Japan. Huang is also a recipient of the Taipei Art Awards (Honorable Mention), the visual arts grant of the Asian Cultural Council and the Public Art Awards (Creativity Award) organized by the Ministry of Culture. In recent years, she has created various public art projects in Taiwan and abroad, such as Fractals Dancing installed at the Kaohsiung Science Park in 2014; The Forest at Midori Clark Hotel in the Philippines in 2016; and The Nest at the Taipei City Public Housing of Wanhua in 2020. This solo exhibition marks her first collaboration with Double Square Gallery. In the past, Huang has held solo exhibitions in alternative spaces (e.g., FreeS Art Space, Heart Spot Space, etc.) and art museums (e.g., Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, etc.), showing her works in unique and brilliant ways in varying types of sites. She specializes in using thermoplastic resin to create her work and utilizes the concept of fractal and the characteristics of resin to shape and embody the organic inner worlds of individual existence. Her work demonstrates the interaction between and combination of artificial materials and the natural environment while displaying a contrasting yet harmonized beauty in the visual site.
