台灣當代寫實藝術家"許智瑋"畢業於文化大學美術系、台南造形藝術研究所，多次參與悍圖社聯展，更於北美館展出和典藏其作品。

古典油畫技法表現當代電玩機器人。以機器人作為表現的載體，虛構一齣故事情節中的要角，再加以特寫巧裝的手法置入舞台場景之中，令人產生錯置夢幻時空的曖昧意象。他的「Neo-God」油畫系列就是結合酷愛的手繪質感和日本機械人模型，藝術家同時採擷次文化與藝術史的視覺元素。

此次一個人的城市所呈現的構想，是個人特質與兒時記憶的整合與重組。許智瑋想要表現、看待這階段自己的一些心理狀態、情感記憶的東西在作品裡面。

他小時候常自己一人玩個遊戲，這個遊戲就像是他導演的一場短劇，或是自我對戰的一盤棋局。他總是把棉被抓擺成貌似一座山，然後在山岳的兩側擺放著一定數量、由各種模型外盒剪下製作的圖卡當人形或機具的紙牌，佈置擺陣成對戰的兩軍，自我主導一場攻防戰役，如此沉溺在自我歡愉的天堂情境中。

因此他結合了這些元素，有歡愉飛舞的天使、有所處城市的場景，然後做一個交叉的呼應與對話，這是許智瑋期望表現的，把這階段的創作歷程，所經歷過的時間空間的感受，組合成他的作品。

Chih-Wei Hsu, a contemporary artist from Taiwan, graduated from the Departments of Fine Arts, Chinese Culture University of Taiwan and received his MFA at the Graduate Insititute of Plastic Arts, Tainan National University of the Arts. His numerous solo and joint exhibitions, together with the Hantoo Art Group, led him to obtain rare opportunities to have his art exhibited in the Taipei Fine Arts Museum and later to have his works collected by the Fine Arts Museum, and the Ministry of Culture, Government of Taiwan.


Artist Hsu's works are largely about robots and video games. Hsu manipulates robots as a medium to stage a scene on canvas, in order to create a spatial feature. His series of Neo-God is characterized by his preferred Japanese robots and animation, which build his own style in terms of historical and cultural languages. Thus, it is easy to discern the elements of contemporary animation and industrial surroundings, such as the images of robots and the scene of cosplay, in Hsu's artwork. Hsu constructs and juxtaposes those images by utilizing the selected images, transferring the fixed sense, and then interpreting a distinct connotation of those figures into a differentiated reflection of the icon.

The ideas of the exhibition are the integration and recombination of personalities and childhood memories. HSU would like to show his psychologies and emotional memories in the works.

In his childhood, he usually made a game which liked a short play or a chess game by him self-directing and acting. He always grabbed the comforter to be like a mountain and further putted some cards cut from the model boxes on the both sides of the mountain.

Therefore, he combine those elements, including happiness flying angels and sceneries of a living city, and then to interact with the responds and dialogues. That is what HSU would like to represent his works through combining the temporal and spatial feeling during the creative process.
