郭振昌

Experience

J. C. Kuo’s oeuvre tends to be sharply critical in style with common and direct artistic expression, addressing contemporary issues (e.g., the gap between haves and have-nots, excessive consumption, religious myths, the decline of traditional cultures, the interpersonal estrangement, and the rampant popular media) arising from the political development after the lifting of martial law and the social change induced by the economic boom in Taiwan.

1973

Graduated from the Department of Fine Arts, Chinese Culture University

1967

Learned and studied in Li Chun-Shan's art studio

1949

Born in Lukang, Taiwan
