Ho Tzu Nyen

視覺藝術家

Ho Tzu Nyen生於並現居新加坡,其創作橫跨動畫、影片、表演和裝置藝術,透過借用並重塑神話和歷史,對現實世界和歷史的建構方式提出質疑。

他的大部分作品都與新加坡息息相關,新加坡是前英國殖民地,現在則是多元文化的島國。 Ho Tzu Nyen的藝術創作以新加坡為中心向外延伸,並開始融入東南亞和東亞其他文化的神話和歷史。

他表示:「我無法預期我藝術生涯的下個階段。但是我很高興能夠獲獎,並利用相關資源,持續進行探索。」

他代表新加坡參加第54屆威尼斯雙年展,同時也在日本豐田市美術館(2021年)、日本山口情報藝術中心(2021年)、德國漢堡藝術協會(2018年)、西班牙畢爾包古根漢美術館(2015年)及東京森美術館(2012年)舉辦個展。

一個題為《Ho Tzu Nyen: Time & the Tiger》的調查展覽於2023年在新加坡美術館揭幕,涵蓋他過去二十年以來的作品。展覽將於今年在首爾善宰藝術中心(Art Sonje Center)和紐約埃塞爾藝術博物館(Hessel Museum of Art)巡迴展出,再於2025年進駐盧森堡現代美術館(Mudam Contemporary Art Museum)。他亦於2024年4月在東京都現代美術館舉辦名為《A for Agents》的個展。

他表示:「CHANEL Next Prize為我提供支持,鼓勵我大步向前邁進。」
