2026 ART TAICHUNG #B02
Bluerider ART Taipei・Dunhua is pleased to announce its first participation in ART TAICHUNG 2026, held at the Taichung International Convention Center. Continuing the gallery’s diverse artistic vision spanning Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Booth B02 will feature 17 international artists, presenting paintings, sculptures, installations, and mixed media works. Through abstraction, colour, concept, and form, the presentation showcases the artists’ multifaceted creative explorations. Highlights include Josep Riera i Aragó, whose mechanical imagery is transformed into poetic metaphors of time and journey, and Sven Drühl, who reconstructs landscapes into hyperreal scenes that exist between reality and virtuality. We warmly invite you to visit the fair and experience the visual tension and poetic space woven through these works.

Artist
Willi Siber
(Germany, b. 1949）
Willi Siber (Germany, b.1949) studied Art History at the University of Stuttgart and continues to live and work in Upper Swabia, Germany. Drawing upon the Baroque heritage and pastoral landscape of Upper Swabia, Siber distills the ornamental colour and rhythm of the Baroque, together with his profound communion with nature, into abstract works that continuously explore the plasticity of matter; interrogating form, colour, and texture, and unsettling the viewer’s visual perception. Major career retrospectives have been held at Kunsthalle Weishaupt (2026) and Museum Villa Rot (2019), establishing critical milestones in his artistic trajectory. In 2023, he received the Oberschwäbischer Kunstpreis, Germany’s prestigious cultural award. His works are held in the permanent collections of the Deutscher Bundestag, Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Städtisches Kunstmuseum Singen, the German Embassy in Argentina, Deutsche Bank, Kunstwerk private museum, and Museum Ritter, among others.
More information
Reinoud Oudshoorn
（Netherland, b. 1953）
Reinoud Oudshoorn lives and works in Amsterdam. Oudshoorn is known for his minimal sculpture by creating a bridge between the spatial illusion of a flat surface and the concrete reality of a physical object through the language of drawing and sculpture. He has held numerous solo and group exhibitions and his works entered important international collections including Stedelijk Musuem Amsterdam, AkzoNobel Art Foundation, ABN AMRO and Sammlung Schroth.
Josep Riera i Aragó
(Spain , b. 1954)
Josep Riera i Aragó (b. 1954, Spain), a graduate of the Sant Jordi Royal Academy of Fine Arts and currently based in Barcelona, is among Spain’s most internationally acclaimed contemporary artists. His work explores voyages between sky and sea, employing mechanical elements such as propellers, submarines, and airplanes to construct a poetic narrative of time, space, and life. His solo exhibitions include the Städtisches Museum Heilbronn (Germany), the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles (France), and the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona. Permanent collections including the Fondation Vincent van Gogh, the Fundació Joan Miró, and the Boeing Company headquarters in Chicago.

Christiane Grimm
(Germany, b. 1957)
Christiane Grimm (Germany, b. 1957) was born in Stuttgart, Germany, and graduated from the University of Stuttgart's architecture department, currently lives and works in Heidelberg. Christian Grimm focuses on the sensual effect conveyed by special materials like acrylic glass, emerges from the interplay between colours, composition, space, material, and lighting. Her work allows physical light to influence the specificity of the image, revealing three-dimensional gradients painted by light. Exhibited at the Museum Ritter and the Wilhelm Hack Museum in Germany and awarded the public's choice award, permanently collected by institutions such as the City Government of Heidelberg, Deutsche Bank, Das Kleine Museum and Kunsthalle Würth, as well as private institutions like PwC's Assurance Services.
Dirk Salz
(Germany, b. 1962）
Dirk Salz (Germany, b. 1962) developed a deep appreciation for painting and art history at a young age. Currently based in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, Salz’s creative process abandons traditional tools like brushes and canvases. Instead, he uses paint rollers and the gravitational force of resin to break free from minimalist conventions, exploring transparency, color dynamics, and the interplay between light and space. His works are part of the Akzo Nobel Art Foundation’s collection and numerous private collections worldwide.
Marck
(Switzerland, b. 1964）
Marck (Switzerland, b.1964) is internationally recognized for his video sculptures. Based in Zurich, he is an atypical artist: he dropped out of art school, unable to accept rigid academic structures, and instead worked in fields as varied as auto dismantling, electrical engineering, rock music, and design for technological installations. These unconventional experiences shaped a distinctive artistic vocabulary—blending imagination, reality, and the playful ambiguity of perception. In 2019, he received the International Culture Award from the Accademia Culturale Internazionale Cartagine in Italy. His works have been exhibited at Kunst(Zeug)Haus Rapperswil and are held in major collections including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; ArtCenter Istanbul; and ZKM Zentrum für Kunst und Medien, as well as numerous private collections worldwide.
Pascal Dombis
(Frence, b. 1965)
Pascal Dombis (France, b.1965), a Paris-based visual artist who focuses as much on language as on perception. He is noted for his excessive use of simple algorithmic rules. It was in the early 90s, while finishing his studies in Boston, that he encountered digital artistic tools, prompting a transition from painting to algorithms upon returning to France. Since then, he has created environments marked by excess, repetition and the unpredictability of technological processes, in which he aims to engage the viewers by questioning perception in relation to space, time and language. He develops multi-referential works which play with spatial environments and promote multiple interpretations. Recent exhibitions include Artists & Robots at the Grand Palais in Paris (2018), Cybernetic Consciousness at Itaú cultural in São Paulo (2017) and the Venice Biennale (2013). In 2020, he achieved the creation of a permanent public artwork, Double Connection, nearly one hundred metres long in the centre of Shanghai. In 2022, he got a monographic exhibition Post-Digital at the Museum of Contemporary Art Sorocaba in Brazil.
Sven Drühl
(Germany, b. 1968）
Sven Drühl (German, b.1968) holds a PhD in Art Science from Goethe University Frankfurt and currently lives and works in Berlin. During the 1990s, Drühl simultaneously pursued studies in art and mathematics, and the postmodern discourse of that era profoundly shaped his methodology—a conceptual foundation that continues to underpin his practice today. Drühl employs unconventional materials such as silicone, oil, and lacquer, drawing upon their distinct chemical properties to render natural motifs including mountains, trees, and volcanoes. He has been recognized as a key supported artist by Volkswagen Stiftung Hannover, Rohkunstbau Berlin and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation New York. Exhibited at museums including Museum Wiesbaden, Hans Erni Museum, Märkisches Museum and the National Museum of Art of Romania. His works are held in the permanent collections of the Berlinische Galerie -Museum für moderne Kunst, Berlin, Deutsche Bank, and the Allianz Group, among others.
Thierry Feuz
(Swiss, b. 1968)
Graduated from Geneva University of Art and Design (Haute École d'Art et de Design), Feuz currently lives and works in Geneva. In his artistic realm, art, science, and philosophy converge as he explores the universal meaning of "existence" and presents unseen realms through his unique painting techniques. Thierry Feuz's works have been collected by significant institutions and museums, including Musée d'Art et d'Histoire in Neuchâtel, Singapore Art Foundation, UBS Bank, Saks Fifth Avenue in the United States, as well as the Breeze Crop. and E.Sun Commercial Bank, among other corporate collections.
Michael Craik
(Scotland, b.1972)
Michael Craik was born in Edinburgh in 1972 and has worked as an artist in Scotland for over 25 years. He studied Fine Art at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen before completing an MA in European Fine Art in Barcelona. A recipient of several awards, Craik’s work has been widely exhibited internationally and is represented by galleries in Scotland, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain and the USA. Michael Craik lives and works in Fife, Scotland. His coastal studio is surrounded by an expanse of sky and the endlessly shifting colours of the sea as they vanish into the distant horizon of the Forth Estuary. The uninterrupted ebb and flow of these waters form a subconscious backdrop to Craik’s daily studio routine, a metronome to his unhurried and deliberate artistic practice.
Ruprecht von Kaufmann
(Germany , b. 1974)
Ruprecht von Kaufmann Born in Munich, Germany, and a graduate of the BFA Los Angeles Art Center College of Design, Kaufmann has been associated with prestigious institutions like Berlin University of the Arts, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, and Leipzig Academy of Fine Arts. Currently residing and working in Berlin, he is recognized as a prominent visual narrative artist. As an artist focusing on graphic storytelling, Kaufmann explores various facets of human experience through the visual language of contemporary painting. His work showcases critical narratives and parallel realms of reality. Exhibiting in major European cities such as London, Berlin, Stuttgart, Oslo, and New York, his pieces have found a permanent place in renowned collections, including those of the Hort Family in New York, Germany's Sammlung Philara Museum, and the National Bank of Germany in Frankfurt.
Wolfgang Flad
(Germany, b. 1974)
Wolfgang Flad (Germany, b. 1974) graduated from the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart and currently lives and works in Berlin. Renowned for his distinctive sculptural language, Flad departs from the weight and monumentality traditionally associated with sculpture. Employing wood, metal, glass, and recycled materials, he creates sinuous, irregular forms that embody organic vitality and tension. His solo exhibition at Tampa Museum of Art，his works by permanent collected the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Kunsthaus Zürich, Centraal Museum Utrecht.
Janna Watson
(Canada, b. 1983)
Janna Watson（Canada, b. 1983）uses abstraction as both an escape from and return to the real. As the world we know dematerializes into paint strokes, so too does her paint take stage as its very own character in a multi-act drama of composition. Bundles of colour, made up of discrete yet inseparable instances of pigment—what Watson refers to as “moments”—are teeming and poised as though caught mid-multiplication. Sweeps of paint re-direct sharply and fold over themselves; thin, rigid ink lines cut into the pictorial field as rudimentary elements in an increasingly complex system of painterly language. All the components play out on a surface of slow, chromatic gradation. Like many of Watson’s players, these backdrops tenderly gesture toward the familiar, stopping just short of representation. The result is a conceptual project (and distinct, stylistic signature) that speaks to a contemporary milieu in which abstract painting is not the retreat of meaning into an unrecognizable realm, but rather the emergence of medium as a “figure” in its own self-inscribed world of feeling and being. Watson does more than reveal paint’s potential to emote—she gives it a space to reveal itself, in its own time.
Chingltu
（China, b.1985）
Chingltu (China, b. 1985) graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from the Art Academy of Inner Mongolia University and currently lives and works in Shanghai. His creative process is profoundly influenced by his childhood memories of the pastoral lands, with recurring themes of contrast and tension: the city and the grasslands, the natural and the artificial, passion and rationality. After the pandemic, Chingltu turned his focus to the nomadic legend of the “Three Stones,” exploring the essence and truth of contemporary life. His work draws from religious philosophy but ultimately reflects back on the earth we inhabit, contemplating urban civilization through the lens of nomadic traditions. He seeks to uncover the commonalities and conflicts between urban life and nomadic culture, as well as the balance between reality and imagination. His works have been exhibited in the National Art Museum of China, Shaanxi History Museum, Today Art Museum, and Xi’an Art Museum.
Bay Tang Jiaxin
（China, b.1995）
Bay Tang Jiaxin (China, b. 1995) holds a Master of Arts degree from the Royal College of Art in the UK and currently lives and works in Changsha. Influenced by her background in printmaking, the qualities of paper have become central to her artistic language, allowing the material to convey her exploration of the blurred existence between space and time. In her Pierced Paper series, Tang uses a needle to lift the fibers of paper, creating an undulating surface through repetitive actions. These acts embody the passage of time, with the resulting texture and visual-tactile resonance reflecting her state of mind during the creative process and her inquiry into subspaces. Her work The Stone of Another Mountain has been collected by the Jiangxi Art Museum.
Zhang Meng
（China，b.1995）
Zhang Meng (China, b. 1995) PhD in Fine Arts, Graduate School, Central Academy of Fine Arts. Based in Beijing. She has studied traditional Chinese landscape painting since childhood and maintains a deep emotional connection to natural scenery. By observing moss, stones, and other minute textures on walls, she finds endless inspiration in their subtle details. Changes in environment have also influenced the evolution of her style. In her recent series “Jing·Jing” (“Environment and Scenery”), she moves beyond the abstract textures of natural landscapes, seeking to capture the most immediate emotional flows from people, events, and objects encountered in everyday life. Her works have been exhibited at Today Art Museum, the Grand Palais in Paris, and in Italy.
