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.
