Chen Wei-Ting, born in Tainan, Taiwan. Completed the MFA in Global Art Practice at Tokyo University of the Arts. Artistic practice encompasses painting, poetry, and installation, with a sustained inquiry into childhood iconography, mono no aware, and the aesthetics of the uncanny. These thematic concerns serve as a foundation for constructing a distinct personal cosmology.

 

Primary mediums include acrylic and oil pastel, often accompanied by original poetic texts. This intermedial approach facilitates a synthesis of visual and literary registers, giving rise to poetic narrativity that resides between the states of childhood and adulthood.

 

Recent solo exhibitions include A Trace of Grey (Tainan Art Museum, 2025) and Paramita (Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, 2024). Additional exhibitions have been presented in New York, Hong Kong, London, Seoul, Thailand, and Japan. Recognition includes selection for the Ueno Royal Museum Painting Grand Prize Exhibition, the Grand Prize at the Shibuya Awards, the Tomio Koyama Jury Prize (Shibuya Awards 2023), and inclusion in the CAF Award 2022. Recipient of a production grant from Arts Council Tokyo. Works have been acquired by institutional collections such as the Tainan Art Museum, Lih Pao Cultural Arts Foundation, and Dali Art Plaza (Taichung). Currently based in Tokyo, with ongoing engagement in artistic research and practice.
