Chen Cheng-hsun was born in Chun-hua, the south part of Taiwan, In 1983, he attended to The National Madrid Ceramic School in Spain, continuing his study in modern ceramic. In the 1980s he received awards and acclaim.
    Chen Cheng-hsun presents the extremely simple geometric forms full of dyramics in clay. His works are profound, peaceful and full of oriental mysteries. The geometric form possesses powerful sense of existence, in which the pierced rectangular and the incision of life after being intruded by matter, The geometric forms show the power of transformation when two dimensions meet; while forms of three dimensions explain better the infinite peace after different kinds of matter clashes. The existence of matter transforms into everything of cosmology and humanity. The process of the creation of the artist is a process from the love of "Nature" to the exploration of "Nature", and then to the exploration of " Man", He thinks man must understand who and who he is and must embrace the society. Although he lives an earthly life , he is to return to the cosmos, which is the true meaning of life.
    After the high firing process, clay and wood return to their essence, triumph with the beauty in eternal life. This eternity is not addressing on permanence or stability, but the sense of constantness kept in the interminable exchange of time and space. In his work, one would naturally feel the metaphysical understanding about life in true presence of Oriental aesthetics.

    Over more than ten years of continuous endeavor, he has always been building the conversation in between contemporary culture and the nature, through which to reveal his idea about cosmology and coessential humanity. His search leads to the spiritual resonance that genuinely blends with breath and meditation. The touch of fire, leaves the unique trace and the texture on his big-scaled sculptural work, vibrating the unleashed energy into the environment that deeply moves the viewer. This is the best proof of his insistence on the endless invention of art making.
