Art Statement:

Eight goldfish mermaids dance effortlessly in an everlasting cycle of happiness in each of Pink Moon, Peach Moon and Silver Moon.

Glorious peony blossoms represent great maternal spirits at the center of a good life. It is surrounded by goldfish mermaids symbolizing an abundance of good fortune and prosperity. They are beautiful blessings beyond time and space in pursuit of peace and harmony.

By entering these primordial portals, we step into the brilliance and

transience of life.

Martin Hsu Selected Works 2016

In 2016, we continued to explore New Traditional Art.

We looked through portals where tradition bloomed and mythology lived.

We created infinite space where the pangolin sun rises and mermaid petals fall.

Together, we considered the circle, the most powerful religious symbol, the center from which we've come, back to which we go.

Many thanks to galleries and art fairs such as Galerie F&F, GiantRobot, WonderGround Gallery, Luna Rienne Gallery, and ART KAOHSIUNG 高雄藝術博覽會 for believing in me.

Most importantly to you, my friends, for your patronage in supporting artists around the world.

More in 2017. Happy New Year. 新年快樂！

Much love, Martin
