RENOWNED ARTISTS
Ju Ming (b. 1938, Taiwan)
An acclaimed Taiwanese sculptor renowned for his Taichi series, Ju Ming also experimented with Ceramics through his Living World Series in the 1980s. Dating from 1982 to 1984, Ju’s delicate, unconventional creations share parallelism with the carefully constructed, abstract forms of his wood sculptures- eccentric emulations of the human frame; at once forlorn, expressive and highly inimitable.

Ah Leon
Born in 1953, Ah Leon is one of Taiwan’s most renowned Ceramic artists. He graduated from the National Taiwan Academy of Arts in 1976. From 1978 to 1982, he sought the apprenticeship of famous ceramic artists throughout Taiwan. Ah Leon has exhibited his works in galleries and museums worldwide, including the National Ceramics Museum in Denmark, the Phoenix Art Museum in Arizona, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the National Palace Museum in Taipei. One of Ah Leon’s most impressive artworks, ‘Bridge’, spanning 20 metres, was featured at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C, in 1997.
