Huang Po-Han is a contemporary Taiwanese metalwork artist whose practice centres on the traditional art of hand-hammered silverware. Having studied metalworking at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, he later established his own studio, Visible City, dedicated to the creation of handcrafted metal objects.
Drawing inspiration from classical Chinese poetry, literati aesthetics, and traditional landscape painting, Huang transforms poetic imagery into sculptural forms through meticulous metalworking techniques. His practice is particularly distinguished by his handcrafted silver teapots, whose richly textured surfaces evoke mountains, flowing water, clouds, and the rhythms of nature.
Rooted in the spirit of traditional Chinese literati teapots, Huang’s work offers a contemporary interpretation of this artistic heritage. Bridging craftsmanship, literature, and everyday life, his creations explore the enduring relevance of Eastern aesthetics through a distinctly contemporary artistic language.
