Chen Xiayu (July 8, 1917 - January 3, 2000) was a Taiwanese sculptor. He was born in Longjing Village, Dajia County, Taichū Prefecture (now Longjing District, Taichung City). He studied sculpture under Fujii Hiroyuki, who encouraged him to participate in the New Cultural Exhibition (formerly the Imperial Exhibition), where he was selected for three consecutive years and obtained the "no inspection" (exempt from review) qualification. He was a founding member of the Taiyang Art Association Sculpture Department, a Provincial Art Exhibition judge, and a teacher at Taichung Normal School. He later withdrew from the association and resigned from his teaching position and judgeship. He continued to create until he was over 80 years old. He died of heart failure in 2000 at the age of 82.[1][2]
