Kuan-Ying Chen was born in Keelung, Taiwan, in 1989. After graduated from graduate school of department of fine arts, National Kaohsiung Normal University, now Kuan-Ying is a Taiwanese young artist. Focusing on social culture and public issues, Kuan-Ying is obsessed with several problems: the relationship between art and political power of environment, the interaction of fine art and the public, and how the art turn on new dialogue, either inside or outside the system. Starting with the interaction between people and the environment, Kuan-Yin now put more efforts on society and the attendance of public. Through diving into the very bottom of the society, he discovered the possibility and ruminant of creativity, where people input publicity and dialogue.
