About this work

Vincent Chung is a New York born Phoenix-based artist whose work aims to capture the human condition by exploring the nature of existence, the examination of the imperfect, and the mercurial nature of emotions. His multi-dimensional works reside at the intersection of traditional methods and contemporary forms, which he examines by confronting the preciousness that is often associated with traditional painting.

About the Abstract Series Series

Explore the Abstract Series by Vincent Chung, a compelling collection that bridges emotional narrative with non-representational form. This body of work demonstrates Chung's distinctive approach to abstraction, where evocative titles—such as Stop Hitting The Brakes, Night Was Young, and She Smokes Menthol Cigarettes—anchor viewers to deeply personal psychological spaces. The series encompasses over sixteen accomplished pieces, including Lavender and Velvet and What Is Feared Is Like A Magnet, each exploring themes of momentum, vulnerability, and desire through bold compositional choices.

Chung's Abstract Series represents a significant moment in contemporary practice, where language and visual form engage in productive tension. Collectors appreciate the series for its emotional depth and technical sophistication, offering both aesthetic impact and conceptual substance. The works maintain strong market presence among serious collectors seeking substantial contemporary art.

Each piece in the series is available for purchase. Contact the gallery to enquire about availability, pricing, and acquisition details.

About Vincent Chung

Vincent Chung was born and raised in New York City and is now based in Phoenix, Arizona. He began painting seriously several years into adulthood, holding his first solo show at Chinatown Soup in New York in 2017, an exhibition that connected him with many of his early collectors and set him on a path toward working as an artist full time.

Chung works in mixed media, layering sewn textiles with neon fixtures and combining materials such as cotton, dirt, oil, and debris to create work that departs from traditional painting. His process is spontaneous and physical, often working directly on the ground both indoors and outdoors, which allows the canvas to pick up unplanned marks and textures from its surroundings. Frayed edges, visible stitching, and exposed material are left intentionally rather than concealed, drawing attention to the process itself. His pieces continue to shift depending on lighting conditions, giving the work an unfinished, almost living quality.

Chung's practice explores themes of imperfection, emotional impermanence, and the tension between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary experience, using the interplay of light, texture, and material to invite a more immediate, sensory engagement with each piece.
