Artist
Paintings depicting the relationship between marine life and humans.
We proposed a painting by a Taiwanese artist, Tang Wei HSU, during the planning stage of the aquarium project, with the assistance of curator Noriko Horie. Besides serving as a natural gateway to the marine world, this will also serve as a bridge between the marine world and us, the land dwellers.
Noriko Horie: Curator. She has participated in more than 100 exhibitions and projects in Japan and abroad, primarily in contemporary art.
Tang Wei HSU: An emerging artist working in the fields of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional painting, as well as installations.
