HSU Yi-Hsuan

Hsu Yi Hsuan (b. 1990, Chiayi County, Taiwan) is a printmaker whose practice is grounded in woodcut and shaped by a sustained commitment to both making and pedagogy. She graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at Taipei National University of the Arts in 2012, majoring in printmaking, and later founded slow‧print studio after working in print education and workshop production at Tsaitien Printmaking Studio in Miaoli.
Working primarily in oil-based woodcut and reduction printing, Hsu treats the printed image as a space where narrative, repetition, and material transformation converge. Her compositions frequently animate animals, plants, and everyday scenes through subtle anthropomorphism, using layered carving and accumulated color to evoke the cyclical, a ective, and imaginative dimensions of lived experience.
Balancing technical rigor with emotional clarity, Hsu’s work repositions printmaking as both an intimate storytelling medium and a contemporary refl ection on interspecies sensitivity, memory, and the poetics of ordinary life. Her works have received major recognitions, including Grand Prizes at the New Year Prints Exhibition of R.O.C., and are held in collections such as the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and Art Bank Taiwan.
