The famous contemporary Taiwanese artist Hung Yi is known for his painted animal sculptures, which are marked by their colourful and sleek shapes with wealth of traditional Taiwanese elements and folk culture, that give us full of imaginations. His works not only decorate many public spaces in Taiwan, but also be invited to hold for large-scale solo exhibitions in such international cities as Washington D.C., New York, San Francisco, Hong Kong, and in Japan.

Hung Yi's works have come to symbolise a new generation of sculpture, with each piece independently forged, sculpted, and moulded in myriad variations. His recent works have also challenge the limits of iron and steel forging. By routinely using angles that demand a high degree of artistry for his work, his works make our world a more lively and charming place full of fun and surprise.

The work Lucky Dog has been positively received at exhibitions in both Japan and the United States of America: in 2013 at the Mori Art Museum in Japan and in 2015 at San Francisco City Hall. For modern people, a dog can have the same weal and woe of a friend, selflessly sharing and being true to others. It is this hope and joyfulness that bounds in Hung Yi's work, which presents innovative elements and connotations for contemporary sculpture.
