吳柏葳（b.1999，基隆），現就讀於臺北藝術大學美術創作研究所繪畫組。創作關注當代繪畫的操演手法，以及其回應影像經驗的可能性。創作分為側重空間意識的現地製作支線，以及在畫布內繪圖，使用影像的繪畫談論圖像歷史及文化認同的分支。在架上畫的創作支線中，關注畫布平面的幻象特性及顏料的物質性。以日本特攝片的角色身份為主題，試圖將繪畫手段分層執行，使用高工藝的製作方式回應特攝片複雜的拍攝方式。作品同時溯源怪獸及戰爭歷史的淵源，以臺灣人的身份，談論在過去殖民歷史下，臺灣人民的文化認同、恐懼與自我投射。在繪畫創作中透過觀念與形式的操演，探索當代繪畫於不同載體、不同呈現方式的可能性。

PUWEI Wu (b. 1999, Keelung) is currently studying painting in the MFA program at Taipei National University of the Arts. His work explores how contemporary painting can act and respond to the experience of images. His practice has two main directions: site-specific works that focus on space, and paintings on canvas that use images to discuss visual history and cultural identity. In his canvas works, he is interested in the illusion of the painted surface and the material quality of paint. Using characters from Japanese Tokusatsu (special effects) films, he builds layered paintings with detailed craftsmanship to reflect the complex filming methods of those movies. His works also look back at the links between monsters and war, reflecting on identity, fear, and self-projection from a Taiwanese perspective shaped by colonial history. Through both concept and form, Wu explores new possibilities for painting across different mediums and ways of presentation.
