Taiwan artists ready to shine at 2023 Taiwan Art Week in Madrid

2023/02/20

Taiwan artists Chang Teng-yuan, Chen Szu-ying, Hsieh Jung-wei and Wu Wei-ting are scheduled to showcase their artworks at Art Madrid and Hybrid Art Fair during the 2023 Taiwan Art Week in Madrid, according to the Ministry of Culture Feb. 16.
 
Jointly hosted by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Spain, Yiri Arts and Chini Gallery, Chang, Hsieh, and Wu will be featured at Art Madrid, while Chen will have a solo exhibition at Hybrid Art Fair running Feb. 24-26.
 
According to the MOC, Chang is attending Art Madrid for the second time. For this 18th edition of the festival held Feb. 22-26, he will be sharing his new art series “Earth Beta” in person.
 
Hsieh often compares himself to a farmer on paper. He hopes his pieces are perceived as a warm response to the Madrid spring breeze, the ministry said.
 
Inspired by scent, Wu chose to infuse ocean stones with the smells of citrus, a famed Spanish product. In this way, his work for Art Madrid bridges the distance between Taiwan and Spain, the MOC said.
 
Chen, who is participating at Hybrid Art for the first time, will be presenting “Marginalia.” Her work combines Eastern and Western elements as well as myth and reality, the ministry added.
