In New York, Asian artists are not unfamiliar with the name Ying Hung. For the group of Taiwanese artists who studied in New York in the early 1980’s, now Ying Hung is the only fellow artist still living in New York. Devoted to her pursuit of art, she is an outstanding female artist from Hong Kong
Ying Hung is never an artist who is satisfied with just exploring herself through making art. Her work also explores the complex phenomena woven by cultural identities of the East and the West. The phenomena cannot be separated from her life. That is why she is always sharp, emitting an aura of wisdom and uprightness. Because she has a unique perspective in observing people and things, the images and circumstances in her work are very unusual. Her work is a mode of being extracted from her conditions; it is also a tacit response to the core of social problems. Based upon her own cross-cultural experience, her work is a subtle expression of what she has seen and realized.
Ying Hung’s solo exhibit at Tina Keng Gallery in October manifests the context of a female artist’s introspection. This is her voice responding to the world as well. As we look at and listen to her work closely, we will feel a pure flow of art coming toward us.
