Peng is an interdisciplinary artist active in both Taiwan and the international contemporary art scene. Born in Taipei in 1969, he graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at National Taiwan Normal University in 1992 and received his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1997.
Since then, Peng’s works have been featured in biennales in Istanbul, Gwangju, Fukuoka, and Taipei, and he has held solo and group exhibitions across Europe, the United States, and China. He has worked across diverse media, including video, installation, sculpture, ink painting, oil painting, and 3D printing. Peng’s artistic practice explores the complex intersections of religion, culture, power, and identity.
He challenges established perceptions of social structures and belief systems. In his renowned “Canine Monk” series, he employs the image of a dog to transcribe religious scriptures, probing the boundaries and transformations between divinity and animality.
