Chi-Lan Pa Hao Lan
Chi-Lan Pa Hao Lan is an artist of Paiwan ethnicity. He returned to his cultural roots after he came of age. His indigenous name is a combination of his mother’s family name and his maternal grandfather’s first name. Based on themes originating from the tribal ceremonies, myths, and legends, he uses diverse media to create paintings, sculptures, and ceramic works that convey his representation of the world of indigenous deities and ancestral spirits. His paintings are dramatic with a strong contrast between light and shadow in his depiction of scenarios that can intensively strike a chord of viewers’ hearts. His works not only demonstrate rich imagination and energy of life but also demonstrate deep reflection upon our damage to the environment in our own interests.
He used to work as an illustration artist and participated in several solo exhibitions, joint exhibitions, and artist-in-residence programs. He was once nominated for the 1st and 2nd Pulima Art Awards. In recent years, he participated in special exhibitions such as Inner Revolution and Deft Hands, Indigenous Insights.
