HSU YIN-LING 許尹齡

“對於許尹齡而言，繪畫或許就是誠實面對無人知曉的自己，最堅強而無可取代的方式。”

—摘自張晴文〝只要對自己誠實〞

許尹齡 1987年出生於台灣屏東，現創作居住於台北，希望透過創作的方式讓人們可以發現我們究竟處在什麼樣的世界裡面。它們（創作）不是對於社會什麼具體的意見，有一些看起來也非常極端，但又模模糊糊地很符合現代的樣子。雖然隨著社會發展我們討論的議題也會理所當然的不同，這是一種世界秩序，每種類型的問題都會存在於各個地方，但就當人們在討論環境、經濟和權力的時候，總是習慣性的去幻想更高遠的層次，而忽略生而為人這件事。藝術家想透過創作提醒自己也提醒任何人這件事，追求生活一切衍生出的人性匱乏，讓我們總是忘了對自己誠實。

"For Hsu Yin-Ling, painting is perhaps the strongest and most irreplaceable way of facing oneself with honesty, a self in which no-one else knows."

"Just be honest with oneself" - quote from Chang Ching-Wen

Born in 1987 in Pingtung, Taiwan, currently lives and works in Taipei. HSU Yin-Ling hopes that her works can allow people to discover the kind of world in which we live in. The works themselves do not present any specific opinions about society. Some of them can appear quite extreme, however they ambiguously conform to a modern appearance. Although the issues discussed will naturally be different following the development of society, this in turn is a kind of world order; every type of issue exists everywhere. Yet as people discuss issues concerning the environment, economy and power, there is the habit of fantasizing even greater and farther heights, forgetting what it means to be born human. Through her artworks, HSU hopes to remind herself and others of this question, the loss of humanity stemming from the pursuit of life, causing us to forget to face ourselves with honesty.
