Shi Jin-Hua: Mind Set Art Center
Current exhibition
Overview
Mind Set Art Center will launch a new exhibition titled “Shi Jin-Hua” on August 16 as part of our ongoing celebration of the gallery’s 15th anniversary. The event is also set to commemorate the career of the titular artist, who tragically passed away in a traffic accident in the summer of 2024. The exhibition will put on display key works from different periods of Shi’s career, most notably the “Pen Walking” series and its culmination piece, “Pencil Walker”, “Art Today”, which incorporates the idea of “walking” and “measurement”, as well as “One Thousand Days” and “Insulin Journey, October”. The show will also display the rarely exhibited oil painting that Shi deeply enjoyed making his later years. Thanks to generous loans from our collectors, we get to exhibit several pieces in the “Pen Walking” series for the first time in public. The exhibition is scheduled to run from August 16 to September 25, 2025. A panel discussion featuring curator Chen Hung-Hsing and collector Dr. Chen Po-Wen is set at 2:30 PM on opening day, August 16, followed by an opening reception at 4:30 PM. We cordially invite you to join this commemorative celebration.
