Town, Chang-hua County, Taiwan, which was a district prospered
with traditional folk arts and crafts. He was so fascinated
by those ancient temples, paintings, ceramic and wood figures that
motivated him to pass a special test for a fine art class in an elementary school in the
capital,Taipei. Following the fine art class
in junior and senior high school, Jason SHIH studied atTaipei National
University of the Arts for the BFA program and
graduated as a Metal Sculpture-major (1996).
After 15 years fine art school
training and widely exploring in the area of arts, Jason SHIH was confirmed the
passion to the creation of form. In
order to become a professional
sculptor, after 2 years army service in duty, he studied abroad at School for
American Crafts, Rochester Institute of Technology, New York, USA,
and majored in Metal Sculpture. After
graduating with the MFA degree (2001), Jason SHIH worked for Albert Paley,
a world-renowned metal sculptor in New York, as an assistant to learn more
technology and practical experience of public art and metal
craft.
