Tishan Hsu is a contemporary artist known for exploring the embodiment of technology and its impact on human phenomenology through a multidisciplinary practice. His work frequently incorporates unconventional materials such as silicone, Styrofoam, and digital media to examine the intersection of the physical body and the digital realm.
Born in Boston and based in New York, Tishan Hsu has developed a practice that bridges painting, sculpture, and computer-generated media. His career has been marked by a long-standing academic commitment, including a tenure as a Professor of Visual Arts at Sarah Lawrence College from 1994 to 2018, alongside visiting professorships at institutions such as Harvard University and the Pratt Institute.
Hsu’s work is characterized by its focus on the relationship between technology and the human experience. His sculptures and paintings often utilize industrial materials to create surfaces that evoke both organic and synthetic qualities. In recent years, his practice has expanded to investigate themes of race, history, and heritage, particularly in the context of technological advancement.
The artist continues to maintain a significant presence in the international contemporary art circuit. Recent programming highlights include his inclusion in the 2026 New Humans: Memories of the Future exhibition at the New Museum and his participation in Lisson Gallery’s international art fair presentations, including Art Basel Hong Kong.
