Tai’s practice explores the relationship between objects, space, and everyday life. Through installation, painting objects, and found materials, he treats artworks not as images but as spatial entities, emphasizing perception, arrangement, and the exhibition as an active, evolving process.

Artwork



Artwork, Gel transfer print on canvas, 8 x 8cm, 2023
The information card for the artwork is directly printed on the canvas, with the "8 x 8 cm" corresponding to the actual size of the canvas itself. Through the text and form on the canvas, it suggests that this canvas, which closely resembles an information card, is actually the artwork itself.

This piece explores the influence of text on the artwork in visual arts, while posing a question: can an information card become the artwork itself? The canvas, originally serving only as a medium for content, is here treated as a "painting object," its physicality, material, and meaning magnified and re-examined.
