The ice-cream appears so sweet from the first look, but if you get closer, you will find a troop of fully armed soldiers who are ready for combat. The ice cream, which is supposed to be much smaller than the soldiers, has been blown up to almost the size of a man, and the soldiers are shrunken down to be as small as ants. The display ironically portrays how soldiers are as small and insignificant as ants, and because of the desire to conquer, they are charging in and making unnecessary sacrifices. The artist has twisted the scales, and utilizes an visual and placement juxtaposition to stage this humorous black comedy that illustrates the absurdity of human violence and expanded desire.   許家瑜 (台灣) 近年個展 2007 「吃兵」，台北縣立鶯歌陶瓷博物館，台北 2006 「吃兵」，國立台南藝術大學南畫廊，台南 2005 「吃兵」，嘉義鐵道藝術村，嘉義 近年聯展 2007 「粉樂町Ⅱ當代藝術展」，台北、高雄 「這裡到那邊-藝術的移動經驗」，台北 2006 「啟動西兒特 五感總動員」，台中國美館，台中 「高雄獎暨高雄藝術家聯展」，高雄市立美術館，高雄 2005 「2005 台灣聲視好大」，台北 「上坡式，嘉義鐵道藝術村」，嘉義 「女子們的心緒，六人聯展－思緒繽紛」，高雄 「非常厲害」，台北當代藝術館，台北 「台灣陶藝新銳展」，馬里蘭州，美國 「大器六六聯展」，台中 「高雄一叢花+」，台北鳳甲美術館，台北 2004 「高雄一叢花+」，高雄市立美術館，高雄 「66大器聯展」，交大藝文中心，新竹 「66大崎聯展」，嘉義文化中心，嘉義 2003 「陶色交易聯展 曾文之眼展覽廳，台南 1994 「Specere Exhibition 」聯展於The Watch House畫廊，澳洲雪梨市 1993 「Artexpress Exhibition 」聯展於Spectrum Gallery畫廊，美國舊金山 1991 「Artexpress Exhibition 」聯展於新南威爾斯州州立美術館，澳洲雪梨市 駐村紀錄 2007 台北縣鶯歌陶瓷嘉年華 駐村藝術家 2006 美國科羅拉多州安德森藝術中心 駐村藝術家 Hsu Chia-Yu (Taiwan) Selected Solo Exhibitions: 2007 The Force Soldier, Taipei County Yingge Ceramics Museum, Taipei Selected Group Exhibitions: 2007 「Very Fun Park II 」, eastern districy of Taipei city 「From Here to There – The Moving Experiences in Art Creating」, Council for Cultural Affairs Taiwan, Taipei Taiwan 2006 「The Theater, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts」, Taichung 2005 「Museum of Contemporary Art in Taipei」MOMA Taipei, Taiwan 「Tachi66-Ceramics Art」, Graduate Institute of Applied Arts, Tainan National College of The Arts 「Art of Kaohsiung 2004 」–Shrub of Flowers Plus, Taipei, Taiwan 2004 「Art of Kaohsiung 2004」–Shrub of Flowers Plus, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Kaohsiung, Taiwan 「Tachi66-Ceramics Art」, Graduate Institute of Applied Arts, Tainan National College of The Arts 「Tachi66-Ceramics Art」, Graduate Institute of Applied Arts, Tainan National College of The Arts, Cultural Affairs Bureau of Chia-Yi, Taiwan 1994 「Specere Exhibition」, The Watch House, Sydney, Australia 1993 「Artexpress Exhibition」, Spectrum Gallery , S.F, U.S.A. 1991 「Artexpress Exhibition」, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia Art Residence 2007 Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Colorado, USA 2006 Taipei County Yingge Ceramics Festival
