Shiau Jon Jen was born in Zhanghu, Taiwan in 1954. He graduated from the National Taiwan College of the Arts in Taiwan in 1977. He entered the Department of Plastic Arts at the Paris Eighth University in Paris in 1986. He traveled to Paris and after returning, he served as artistic director in Chin Pao-San and the Yuzi Paradise project in Guilin. He joined the French Artists’ Association in 1987. In 2008, he became a Visiting Professor of wood sculpture at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, China.

His “My Forest” series was created during his early arrival in France when he knew no one there. It was inspired by “beautiful memories of Taiwan” and evokes a sense of nostalgia and history.From that series, he movedon to explore a different theme, in which the materials used to make thesculpture are also used to express the spatial aspect of abstract art,as opposed to the emotional. His latest works are grooved and linear,symbols themselves of the geometry and science of art.
