Fantastical,

is the only way I can describe,


 the work of Taiwanese artist Shih Chieh Huang above,  “T-24-L (Detail)” (2016-17), Mixed media, 12 x 14 x 14 feet, photo by Vince Ruvolo, all images courtesy of the artist and Ronald Feldman Gallery, New York, 

 dozens of transparent plastic tentacles, LED lights, glowing liquids, and mechanical features give the pieces the appearance of bioluminescent underwater creatures, above Incubate installation view (2019), photo by Vince Ruvolo,

  “VT-34-BTB (red angel eye)” (2017-18), Mixed media, 144 x 156 x 36 inches, photo by Megan Paetzhold, his current solo exhibition Incubate at Ronald Feldman Gallery in New York addresses chaos, order, growth, and pattern, and uses brand new materials such as continuous wire, a peristaltic pump for neon liquids, and a urethane belt,

 His work will be included in the upcoming group exhibition Useless: Machines for Dreaming, Thinking, and Seeing at the Bronx Museum starting this Wednesday, March 27 and running through September 1, 2019,

some of the works in action,

You can see more of Huang’s glowing sculptural works on his website and Instagram,

a tour of his current exhibition at Ronald Feldman Gallery, which closes April 13, 2019, can be seen in the video above, I have to say so many of the works do indeed resemble creatures of the deep.
