Artist Chiao-Han Chueh’s First Residency in the US!

Chiao-Han Chueh (b. 1989) is a Taiwanese painter who earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Taiwan from the Taipei National University of Arts and her Master of Fine Arts from HFBK Hamburg in Germany. Relocating from Taiwan to Germany inspired her to explore new narratives, intertwining her cultural background and personal history. Her work delves into the complexities of human interactions, societal pressures, and the psychological tension between desire and restraint, presenting imagery that is both transgressive and innocent.

Chueh is now in a residence program on Governors Island. Joining the Taiwanese American Arts Council (TAAC), she will spend one month in New York.

Chueh’s work will be on view in the group exhibition, IN THE MOMENT  (即刻, 無須等待), featuring six Taiwanese artists born and raised in the 1990s, opening at Nunu Fine Art New York on the evening of Friday, September 6th. Curated by Taiwanese art historian Ching-Wen Chang, IN THE MOMENT highlights a generation of artists who have grown up with the pervasive influence of social media. At a time when digital media permeates both our lives and the visual arts, these young painters operate at the intersection of digital innovation and traditional artistic expression.

Chiao-Han Chueh's Solo Exhibition "Fancy Diving" Opens at the King Car Cultural & Art Center!

Chueh's work delves into the complexities of human relationships, the social pressures on individuals, and psychological factors such as insecurity, validation, anxiety, empowerment, and attraction. Her depictions of desire and abandon, which challenge the constraints of civilization, present imagery that is both innocent and transgressive. Chueh’s practice reflects both her Taiwanese upbringing and heritage and the profound influence of Western art history. Additionally, her work also expresses her experience living and working in Europe, particularly her perspective as an Asian woman in the West.

The series of Chiao-Han's works disclose the profound connection between painting and humanity's most primal memories—the inherent dangers and challenges of survival. The pieces portray figures driven by instinct, merging madness with revelry, showcasing the boundless tension of bodily movement, and an impactful, striking and dangerous power in visual language.

We eagerly await the compelling artworks that Chiao-Han Chueh will unveil in this exhibition.
