Born in 1982 in Taipei, Taiwan, Candy Bird (b. Han, Chun-Yueh) is the child of post-1949 Chinese immigrants. Growing up in an environment shaped by geopolitical tensions, he encountered ideological discord and familial contradictions that became central to his exploration of identity. His practice revolves around the concept of “gaps”—a critical lens through which he examines marginality and the gray zones between opposing forces. Originating from street graffiti and mural-making (from which the moniker Candy Bird emerged), his work has expanded into painting, moving image, and lecture performance. Drawing on literature, existentialist philosophy, and social psychology, he investigates the entangled dynamics of contemporary sociopolitical structures and inner psychological states.
1982年出生於台灣台北，Candy Bird（本名韓君岳）來自1949年後抵達台灣的中國移民家庭。在地緣政治緊張的環境中成長，他經常面臨家庭內部的意識形態衝突及矛盾，這些困難的經驗促使他的藝術聚焦在「縫隙」的概念：圍繞著邊緣性以及對立力量之間的灰色地帶。他的創作起步於街頭塗鴉和壁畫（筆名Candy Bird的由來），之後發展至繪畫、流動影像以及講述表演。他將文學、存在主義以及社會心理學融入作品中，探索當代複雜的社會脈絡與個人心理。
