Chiayun Hu is a Taiwanese artist based in Paris. Her practice moves between painting, sculptural objects, and writing.

Working through interiors, objects, and the body, she explores how spaces quietly shape emotional experience and daily rituals. Her paintings often begin with simple, familiar forms: a sofa, a showerhead, an armchair, a fragment of a body. Moments and objects that are usually passed over without attention. Through her works, these presences become slower, more intimate, and quietly charged.

Raised in a four-generation female household, femininity became an intuitive language within her work. It appears less as a fixed subject than as an atmosphere: through gestures of holding, receiving, waiting, and inhabiting space. Alongside painting, she creates sculptural objects in clay and plaster that extend the emotional and physical language of her images into space. Writing also runs through her practice as a parallel thread, accompanying the visual work through fragments, reflections, and observations on memory, presence, and everyday life.

Across mediums, her work seeks moments where time suspends, where silence, touch, and attention can briefly remain.
