HSU Tung-Lung (b. 1947, Taiwan) graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at National Taiwan Normal University in 1967. His artistic foundation was shaped by Taiwan's temple culture, followed by hands-on experience in jade carving and ceramics factories before receiving formal academic training. Rather than following conventional techniques, Hsu has always pushed against artistic norms, constantly reinventing his approach. He rejects traditional painting tools in favor of unexpected objects like rice scoops and kitchen knives. In sculpture, instead of carving or molding in predictable ways, he smashes clay and reassembles the fragments into new forms—an approach he describes as "destructive creation." For Hsu, painting and sculpture are complementary forces: painting extends the spatial dimension of sculpture, while sculpture becomes a reinvention of painting. His major exhibitions include The Sculptural Painting of Life (2017, Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangzhou), Kun (2019, China Oil Painting and Sculpture Institute Art Museum, Shanghai), Peng (2023, China Oil Painting and Sculpture Institute Art Museum, Shanghai), and Memory of a Landscape (2025, Tainan Art Museum, Tainan).
