Chen Shige

Born in 1993 in Taiwan. Enrolled in his PhD in Intermedia Art from Tokyo University of the Arts. He is currently based in Ibaraki Prefecture. The artist works primarily with painting and writing-based expression, playfully exploring their arrangement, boundaries, coexistence, and divergence. From this investigation emerge themes such as compressed ("otoku") visual imagery, plurilingual society, discommunication, and asemic writing. Recently, the artist has focused on graphic expression on paper and narrative methods in plurilingual manga.

His major exhibitions include "Syntax; Fabrication; Notes, Layers, and Images" (SPACE NOBORU, Tokyo, 2025), "The 16th Gunma Biennale for Young Artists" (the Museum of Modern Art, Gunma, 2025). He participated in "TOKAS-Emerging 2023: No drifting until Dumpling to the door" (Tokyo Arts and Space Hongo, Tokyo).
