侯俊明是台灣前衛藝術的重要人物之一，也是台灣當代藝術中探索人性慾望及情色的先鋒。藝術家歷經了台灣社會文化快速變革的時期，其早期創作年代雖逢台灣解嚴前後，但關乎的卻並非是對當下社會環境解放及大我的回應，而是對身處亞洲社會框架下的身體、性與小我深刻地直面探問，以及與禁忌的碰撞、對傳統美學的挑戰。侯俊明的表現方式極富個人特色與視覺的震撼力，坦蕩、狂癲也粗暴記載著長久以來被忽略或被刻意隱藏的個人私密，也揭示了下個世代該如何正視抗爭、諷刺、揶揄，尋找關於人「真正自由」的狀態。侯俊明曾於1995年及2013年受邀參加威尼斯雙年展等國際大展，並於2008年起陸續於橫濱、台北、台中、曼谷、嘉義及香港等城市進行訪談創作計畫。侯俊明的作品獲路德維國際藝術論壇館、日本福岡亞洲美術館、香港M+博物館、台北市立美術館、高雄市立美術館、國立台灣美術館、台南市立美術館、帝門藝術教育基金會、玟秀收藏室、伍角船板、白兔美術館等單位收藏。
Hou ChunMing is one of the leading figures among Taiwan’s avant-gards artists. Though Hou’s career spans a period of rapid social and cultural change in Taiwan, his body of work is not about the contemporary expression or group consciousness, but recordings of private secrets that have been long ignored or hidden. The artist’s response is a collision of the taboos regarding body, sexuality, and ego in Asian society, as well as a rebellion challenges the traditional academic aesthetics. The sex and violence in Hou’s works are no longer his private desire - they are the topics that the public refuses to address. With his impactful themes and visual expressions, he became the first and most significant one who explored the eroticism of human desire in Taiwanese contemporary art. Hou ChunMing was invited to exhibit at the Venice Biennale in 1995 and 2013, and his interviewing project, which started in 2008, has been done in Yokohama, Taipei, Taichung, Bangkok, Chiayi, and Hong Kong. His artwork can be found in the collections of The Ludwig Forum for International Art, Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, M+ in Hong Kong, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Tainan Art Museum, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, Dimension Endowment of Art, Wenhsiu Collection, Five Dime, and White Rabbit Gallery.
