WEI, PO-JEN

Lives and works in Taoyuan, Taiwan.

WEI’s recent practices focus on delineating the boundaries and landscapes of human psychological spaces while exploring the intricate connections between personal life experiences and material memory. Through perspectives of varying scales, the works present a multi-layered worldview, engaging with the interplay of psychological spaces, sensory perception, inner forces, and memory.

The creative forms encompass spatial installations, sculptures, drawings, performance art, and video. Using the language of diverse media, the works provoke reflections on memory and existence, constructing a resonant dialogue between emotion and materiality.

His works have been exhibited at New Taipei City Art Museum Park (2025), Chiayi Art Museum (2024), Hong-Gah Museum (2023), YIRI ARTS (2023, 2022, 2021), Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts (2021), FreeS Art Space (2019), and VT Artsalon (2018).

居住、工作於桃園。

近年的創作聚焦於勾勒人類心理空間的邊界與圖景,同時探索個人生命經驗與物質記憶之間的關聯。透過不同尺度的視野,作品呈現多層次的世界觀,觸及心理空間、身體感知、內在力量與記憶的交織與延展。

創作形式涵蓋空間裝置、雕塑、素描、行為表演與影像,以多元媒材的語言,引發觀者對記憶與存在的思考,構築一種情感與物質對話的共鳴場域。

過去作品曾展出於 新北市美術館戶外園區(2025)、 嘉義市立美術館(2024)、鳳甲美術館(2023)、伊日藝術計劃(2023 / 2022 / 2021)、高雄市立美術館(2021)、福利社(2019)、非常廟藝文空間(2018)等空間。作品曾獲高雄市立美術館典藏,並獲得「2021高雄獎-首獎」、「2018世安美學獎」等肯定。
