Born in Chiayi. Works by Hwang Jyi were shown in the 1989 L'Ecole Nationale Supérieures des Beaux-Arts exhibition in Paris, and he later won first prize in the National Fine Arts Exhibition. Hwang Jyi's works, often in the nature of surrealist epics, can be seen as a kind of personal creative journal, with strong sensory impact created through presentation of multi-layered dimensions. They stand as unique stylistic achievements in modern Taiwanese art.
