Artist Statement :
Jasper Huang ( 黃嘉祥 ) is a contemporary artist based in Paris whose practice centers on painting, primarily using silk, mineral pigments, and mixed media.
His work draws from Eastern philosophy, embodied experience, and modern historical contexts, focusing on how individuals endure psychological and physical trauma shaped by power structures, belief systems, war, and interpersonal relationships. Within this framework, the human body becomes a vessel of memory and existence.
Huang’s works frequently begin with the human figure and portraiture, yet they do not aim at personal likeness or representation. Instead, the body is treated as a symbolic landscape—limbs unfold like mountain ranges, textures resemble flowing water or geological fractures—suggesting how individual lives are continuously shaped and eroded by history, culture, and collective consciousness. These bodies appear both fragile and resilient, mirroring civilizations that persist through cycles of rupture and reconstruction.
Silk is not a decorative choice in Huang’s practice, but a material with cultural and philosophical significance.
Rooted in Eastern artistic traditions and bodily intimacy, silk’s translucency, reflectivity, and fragility cause the image to shift according to light and the viewer’s position. This instability echoes the fluid nature of memory, emotion, and identity. Through layered painting on silk, the works extend beyond the pictorial surface, engaging with space, architecture, and the physical presence of the viewer.
Rather than pursuing formal perfection, Huang’s artistic practice confronts the psychological and corporeal damage experienced by humans in the contemporary world. He examines how war, religious belief, and systems of power shape and wound the human body, proposing a slow and introspective mode of viewing—one that invites reflection on vulnerability, trauma, and the conditions of human existence.
Jasper Huang（黃嘉祥）是一位旅居巴黎的當代藝術家，其創作以繪畫為核心，近年主要運用蠶絲絲綢、礦物顏料與混合媒材進行創作。
他的作品融合東方哲學、身體經驗與現代歷史情境，長期關注人在權力、信仰、戰爭與人際結構中所承受的創傷，以及身體如何成為記憶與存在的承載體。
Huang 的創作經常以人體藝術與人像為出發點，但並不指向個人肖像的再現，而是將身體視為一種象徵性地景——肢體線條如山脈、肌理如水流或斷層，暗示個體生命如何被歷史、文化與集體意識所塑形與侵蝕。這些身體既脆弱又堅韌，如同文明本身，在不斷破裂與重組之間維持存在。
蠶絲絲綢在他的創作中並非裝飾性的選擇，而是一種具有文化與哲學意義的媒材。
作為一種同時承載東方藝術傳統、身體親密性與歷史流動性的材料，絲綢的透明、反光與脆弱性，使畫面在觀看過程中持續變化，呼應記憶、情感與身份的不穩定狀態。這種材料特質也使作品在空間中產生與光線、建築與觀看者之間的關係，進一步擴展繪畫作為場域性經驗的可能。
Huang 的藝術實踐並非對完美形式的追求，而是對人類在現代世界中所承受的心理與身體損傷的凝視。他關注戰爭、宗教信仰與偶像崇拜如何透過權力結構影響個體生命，並試圖在作品中提出一種緩慢而內省的觀看方式，讓觀者在面對身體、創傷與存在時，重新思考自身所處的位置。
Jasper Huang | A Journey Through Art
Jasper Huang 黃嘉祥 (born 1978 in Taiwan, Tainan, currently residing in Paris, France) is an internationally renowned artist whose works span across both fashion and fine art. From a young age, he demonstrated a keen insight into human nature and exceptional observational skills, traits that have shaped his unique artistic perspective.
In 2001, Jasper won the Young Talent Award in Fashion Design from ELLE magazine, marking the beginning of his rise to prominence. His design style was distinctive, pioneering the use of traditional Eastern peony fabric in Taiwan's high-fashion market, which helped him stand out in an industry then dominated by Western designs. In 2005, he established his eponymous fashion brand, quickly gaining international recognition and showcasing his collections at New York and Tokyo Fashion Weeks. He became one of the key figures in promoting Taiwanese aesthetic fashion on the global stage.
Beyond fashion design, his creative footprint also extended into other areas. In 2002, he was invited to design the visual concepts and costumes for Jay Chou’s (周杰倫）concert, further solidifying his influence in both the entertainment and design industries. His works frequently appeared in international media and on screens, collaborating with prominent figures such as Lin Chi-ling（林志玲） and Demos Chiang Yu-bou.（蔣友柏） Simultaneously, his artistic creations were showcased at institutions like the Taipei Museum of Contemporary Art and the Fubon Art Foundation.
After fifteen years in the fashion world, Jasper Huang decided to return to the essence of art, seeking deeper creative connections. In 2019, he relocated to Paris to focus on creating with ink and silk paintings as his primary mediums. His works reflect a journey of over four decades, exploring profound themes such as identity, memory, and human desires through his observations of human nature.
Jasper's art integrates Eastern philosophical contemplation with deep insights into contemporary life. He primarily uses silk as his medium, employing ink, mineral pigments, and mixed media. His inspiration stems from the contradictions and emotional connections inherent in human nature, often blending abstract human forms with natural landscapes in his works, as though exploring the subtle balance between human existence and the essence of nature.
In 2022, he held a solo exhibition at Galerie de Thorigny in PARIS France, receiving high praise from art critics and successfully entering the Paris art scene. His works have since been showcased at major international galleries and art fairs, gaining the admiration of collectors and critics alike. He believes that each piece of art is a dialogue—a profound exchange with oneself, the viewer, and the world.
黃嘉祥（Jasper Huang，1978年生於台灣-台南，目前定居法國-巴黎）是一位國際知名的藝術家，其作品橫跨時尚與純藝術領域。自幼展現出對人性的敏銳洞察與卓越的觀察能力，這些特質塑造了他獨特的藝術視角。
黃嘉祥於2001年榮獲《ELLE》雜誌時尚設計Young Talent大獎，開始嶄露頭角。他的設計風格獨樹一幟，率先將東方傳統牡丹花布應用於台灣高級時裝市場，在當時受到西方設計主導的產業中脫穎而出。2005年，他創立了個人同名時裝品牌，並迅速獲得國際認可，於紐約與東京時裝週發表作品，成為推動台灣美學時尚的重要人物之一。
除了時尚設計，他的創意足跡亦跨足其他領域。2002年，他受邀擔任周杰倫演唱會的視覺概念與服裝設計師，進一步鞏固了他在娛樂與設計產業的影響力。他的作品頻繁出現在國際媒體與螢幕上，並與林志玲、蔣友柏等知名人士合作。同時，他的藝術創作亦曾受邀於台北當代美術館與富邦藝術基金會等機構展出。
在時尚界耕耘十五年後，黃嘉祥決定回歸藝術本質，尋找更深層的創作連結。2019年，他移居巴黎，專注於以水墨與絲綢畫為主要媒材的創作。他的作品融合四十年來的生命歷程與對人性的觀察，探索身份認同、記憶與人性慾望等深刻主題。
Jasper 的作品融合東方哲學的思辨精神與當代生活的深刻洞察，主要以絲綢為創作媒介，運用墨、礦物顏料與混合媒材進行表現。他的創作靈感來自人性中的矛盾與情感連結，作品中常能見到抽象的身體意象與自然景觀的融合，彷彿在探索人類存在與自然本質之間的微妙平衡。
2022年，他於法國Galerie de Thorigny舉辦個展，獲得藝術評論界的高度評價，成功打入巴黎藝壇。他的作品陸續在國際重要畫廊與藝術博覽會展出，廣受收藏家與評論家的青睞。他相信，每一件藝術作品都是一場對話—與自己、與觀者、與這個世界的深刻交流。
