He graduated from the Fine Art Department of The Design Center in Pasadena, California. After returning in 1993 to Taiwan his native home, he developed his work as an artist working with the artist collective IT Park. During the following nine years in Taiwan he developed what will go on to define the core of his artistic concerns, a reflection on Asian tradition, ornamentation and architecture, and the practice of art and life. Since 1999 he has been invited to exhibit his work internationally, for example, The Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial 99, The Venice Biennial 01, and The International 2002, Liverpool Biennial. He was a resident of the Cite International des Arts in Paris from 02-03 and has since exhibited extensively in Europe, in institutions as Palais de Tokyo, the inaugural exhibition 02, Kunstmuseum, Luzern 03 and Kunsthalle Wien 05. Along with his exhibitions he also has been invited to make public commissions worldwide.
