Ming-Chip FUNG
Hong Kong
Ming-Chip FUNG, born in Guangdong, China and raised in Hong Kong, has lived between the cities of New York, Taipei and Hong Kong before settling in Hong Kong, where he currently resides and practices.
Self-taught, Fung’s career as a conceptual artist spans nearly four decades and is rooted in the written word first explored through the classical art of seal engraving. The artist later expanded his artistic practice to wood-carving, poetry, ink painting, calligraphy, sculpture and sgraffito. In addition, he has been a playwright and novelist.
The artist’s unconventional works challenge dictums and enlarge the possibilities in a world still bound by accepted norms and traditions. In doing so, Fung lays a new foundation for a regenerating artistic practice that lives in the throws of experimentation and breakthrough.
