Ming Hsuan Tsai excels in realistic oil painting, showcasing her talent through various series. The initial "White" series, crafted between 2016 and 2017, delves into the mental states of young individuals in society. Transitioning to the "Aesthetic" series from 2017 to 2019, Tsai aims to express the emotional and mental facets of contemporary individuals in the digital age, marking the inception of her ongoing creations.
Continuing her artistic journey, Tsai extended the "Swimming Party" series from 2019 to 2020, stemming from the "Aesthetic" series. In 2020, she diversified her portfolio by venturing into video, installation, and digital image creations with the "Prosthetic Project" series. Her recent works focus on exploring the intricate relationships, connections, and reflections between humans and the digital age.
Notably, Tsai held her inaugural solo exhibition at the M Gallery in Taipei in 2018. Further establishing her artistic presence, she officially joined AStar Gallery as a contracted artist, showcasing solo exhibitions in both 2022 and 2023.
