Juin SHIEH

Born in 1961, Juin SHIEH has participated in many major shows in museum and public institutes. She is considered one of the most important Taiwan female artists and academic researchers in the field of art making as well as study of feminism. SHIEH is always conscious of and responsive to contemporary art development. We could notice also in her works some elements of un-tied reason and spontaneous brush as evidenced in Abstract Expressionism. SHIEH brings further concrete images yet not fixed in definition, similar to some revival of concrete figuration and defacing strategies by works of Francis Bacon. As the latter concerns more on human existential solitude, SHIEH seems not to abandon somehow the belief of genuine human relations, even though such relations might suffer like some sturdy grass under strong winds.
