CHUANG, Tsung-Hsun was born in Chiayi in 1976, now lives and works in Chiayi. From the Department of Fine Arts of National Taiwan University of Arts, Since 2016 Ph.D. in Art Creation and Theory, National Tainan University of Arts, Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts of Tainan National University of the Arts Taiwan, Ph.D. in Art Creation and Theory, National Tainan University of Arts, Taiwan, after more than twenty years of studying, creating art, and teaching away.

Over the years, CHUANG, Tsung-Hsun bold in exploring new possibilities in my creative pursuits, including ventures into new media, video art, painting, and conceptual art. While recent works have primarily focused on painting, they still incorporate the use of diverse materials.

His works use "modular" play gear throughout the main axis.A century ago, these "modular" playgrounds were not present in everyday life. In the past, when information was less developed, the unique characteristics of individual cultures could be preserved. Gradually, these man-made structures replaced natural landscapes, becoming the "new landscapes." In these new artificial landscapes, we see a completely different way of life, which appears repeatedly in public spaces around the world in a uniform and repetitive manner. These playgrounds seem to be transitional models before humans enter a simulated world, connecting to a media world that doesn't even exist in physical form.

The exhibition features works created between 2021 and 2024, with some series having been in development for over a decade. CHUANG, Tsung-Hsun aims for his work to be "understandable" and to immediately evoke empathy. Therefore, his works are deliberately presented in simple, streamlined images, creating contemporary life guides or diagrams akin to easy-to-understand instruction manuals, reflecting the circumstances of modern life—scenarios that can be instantly grasped at a glance.
