Uwe Mertsch
Taiwan/Taipei
Uwe Mertsch, born in Germany, graduated from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, a school that has produced many modern and contemporary art masters, including Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Tony Cragg, and Yoshitomo Nara. He has lived in various regions across Europe, South America, and Asia. His rich creative inspiration comes from the details of everyday life. The diverse cultural experiences and living environments have fueled his boundless creative energy. He has exhibited his work in France, Spain, the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, Pakistan, Nigeria, and other countries.
In 2013, Uwe Mertsch held his first solo exhibition at Apollo Art Gallery. He has participated in the Taipei International Art Fair, Taichung Art Fair, Tainan Art Fair, Frankfurt Art Fair, Munich Art Fair, and the Shanghai Art Fair, among others. Adhering to the philosophy of "simplicity is beauty," he has created a series of pop art-style paintings and tactile wooden sculptures. These works will be showcased at this year's Art Taipei.
