Hsu Hui-Chih: poet, literatus, interpreter.

Hsu Hui-Chih is a contemporary artist who is also known as one of the most prominent fig-ures in Taiwanese literary circles – both as a writer and publisher.

The majority of Hsu’s “hand ink” (a term he coined himself) works revolve around his own poetic expressions while the rest take inspiration from Buddhism. Throughout all works, the intention remains the same: to share his personal thoughts, reflections on Buddhism, and distinctive poetic sensitivities through creations of beauty. Hsu Hui-Chih is not a calligrapher; he is a poet-artist. By combining classic framing tech-niques and themes with a contemporary outlook and appreciation for beauty, Hsu’s works surpass the confines of time.
