Ming-Jen Hsu was born in Taipei, Taiwan and received his MFA degree from the State University of New York at New Paltz. He has held solo shows at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Suho Paper Memorial Museum and the Grass Mountain Artist Village and exhibited his paintings at the Chongqing Young Artist Biennale as well as the 2010 Taiwan Biennial. His works have been collected by the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, the Art Bank by the Ministry of Cultural in Taiwan and other private foundations. In recent years, Ming-Jen Hus has focused on landscape as the theme of his exploration for exhibitions, and his works are characterized by the use of richly textured handmade paper and charcoal. His works intend to depict the trace of time on paper and to display the connection of a person’s internal state with the outside world through landscape.
