About Sean Tseng

Sean Tseng is an artist who works in Taipei and London, and obtained his MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art, London. He works primarily with installation and photography, exploring notions of rhythm from both industrialised materials and natural elements. He is currently researching the dynamics and beauty of attraction between different forms in nature where subtleties lurk and encounters await. His work has been exhibited in Taiwan, Spain, the United Kingdom, and China in recent years.

Tseng’s practice is rooted in his direct encounters with nature and observations on subtle elements found in natural surroundings, drawing attention to the engagement of phenomenology through bodily experience to explore contemporary narratives in landscapes. He often creates a space for installation works, or photographic works, by combining industrialised materials (such as concrete, acrylic, and metal) with natural elements to create a sense of harmony and gentleness inspired by his bodily experiences in nature. This expression not only reflects a re-examination of the relation between nature and human beings, but also implies the decentralisation of the human race through the process of perceiving his work by embracing the enchanting beauty between the minuscule and the cosmic.
