OO-CHAIR

Ta-Hsien Jen aims to strike the perfect balance between simplicity and complexity through making sculptures of all shapes and sizes. His creativity is often inspired by his subconscious mind. Ordinary lines are more than ordinary, and are wielded by Jen into contours and curves. Jen also leverages on his observations and perceptions during the creative process to bring his subconscious thoughts to life. His work is flexible and adaptable, and the possibilities for a simple piece of work to metamorphosize into another are endless.

Under the high ceiling of VISAVIS, Jen transforms the geometrical elements he has observed in the space into sculptures composed of circles. This can be seen as an extension of his previous creative method, where the intricate details of his works often begin with simple shapes. Meanwhile, these small circles also resemble hair follicles in response to the hair salon, forming an interesting and organic co-existence of the artwork and the space.
