Lucky Monster - Pi-hsieh

Rhea C., Born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1986. Graduated from Fu Jen Catholic University, Department of Textiles & Clothing, Fashion Design in 2009. Started learning pottery in 2018. Awarded Judges' Award of “2021 Taiwan Next Sculpture Art”, Merit Award of “2022 Miaoli Pottery Arts Competition”, Judges' Award of “2023 Taiwan Ceramics Awards”, and Excellence in the Arts Category of the “Miaoli International Ceramics Award (MICA) 2025” . Rhea’s multifaceted career spans an unexpectedly wide range: she has worked as a sales representative, served as a costume designer for celebrities, sold jerky in traditional markets, and cared for animals in shelters. She has been an actor and a model, and has also devoted herself to rural education, supporting children and marginalized communities. These eclectic, ever-shifting experiences have shaped Rhea’s distinctive artistic perspective, weaving together sharp self-awareness and profound reflections on life. Her practice carries a rebellious edge, yet within its meticulously crafted details lies a tender sincerity. Her works often brim with dark humor—at times bold and impassioned, at times quietly unfolding with lingering resonance. By using ceramics to evoke the texture and presence of excavated bronzeware, Rhea’s sculptures invite viewers to gradually unearth contemporary relics—objects that feel as though they belong both to ancient history and to the world we inhabit today.
