Chunchieh Huang studied at Taipei National University of the Arts in Taiwan. This is the first time his work has been seen in a public exhibition.
The portrait is of Huang’s long-standing friend Chen Ching Ming, whom he has known since childhood, who is also a painter and a ceramicist. Huang’s aim in creating the portrait was to capture the stress felt by young people as they approach their final exams and graduation from college. He says: ‘Faced with the uncertainty of their future, they have to try to find a balance between their ideal and the reality.’
