Joseph Conrad-Ferm
Despite having no formal art training, artist Joseph Conrad-Ferm creates compelling paintings and mixed-media works in the tradition of the Abstract Expressionists. The American painter has captured the attention of critics and collectors alike with his intuitive forms, flowing brushstrokes and use of vivid colors.
Born in 1975 and raised in New Canaan, Connecticut, Conrad-Ferm didn’t explore his artistic side until 2001, when he felt a sudden compulsion to paint. “In late December of that year, in the boiler room of my mother’s basement, with no reference point, I felt compelled to paint,” he has said.
Since that watershed moment, Conrad-Ferm’s artistic process evolved into creating abstract paintings driven by pure emotion and feeling. “I’ve been able to express the joys and pitfalls of my total life experience, through a language that is universal,” he has said of his work.
To date, Conrad-Ferm has created more than 1,000 finished works on canvas, wood and paper. He has had over 80 solo and group shows to his credit, with exhibitions at the Paul Fisher Gallery and the Coral Springs Museum of Art in Florida, and the Tuleste Factory in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood.
Conrad-Ferm’s works are highly sought after by interior designers and abstract art collectors and have been featured in television shows as well as in publications in the United States and Europe. He has also enjoyed collaborations with cycling and athletic apparel brands in recent years. When he isn’t painting, Conrad-Ferm works full-time as a registered critical care nurse.

- Large Abstract Expressionist Taiwanese Painting Chihung Yang Chinese ArtLocated in Surfside, FLChihung Yang American (b. 1947) Untitled (Black and Brown Composition) (1986) Mixed media (acrylic, pastel) on paper Hand signed lower right Sheet 38 x 50 inches, frame dimensions: 45 x 57 x 2 inches, wood frame with glazing Provenance:= From a Corporate Art Collection Yang Chihung (Chinese: 楊識宏; pinyin: Yang Chihung; born 1947) Taiwanese-American artist. Yang Chi-hung was born on 25 October 1947, in Chungli, Taiwan. He developed an interest in art in early childhood, and found inspirations to pursue an artist career after reading Lust for Life – The Life of Vincent van Gogh, translated by poet Yu Kuang-chung, in junior high school. Between 1965 and 1968, he attended the National Taiwan College of Art, developing a sound foundation in oil painting under the tutelage of famous Taiwanese artists of the Japanese Colonial period, such as Liao Chi-chun, Li Mei-shu and Yang San-lang. Meanwhile, he actively attended events organized by the modern art groups of Taiwan, namely the Fifth Moon Group and Ton Fan Group, only to find himself both intimidated and dissatisfied with the then relatively conservative art environment in Taiwan. In 1979, he emigrated to the United States of America with his wife, Jane, and their son, Daniel. His pioneering works soon landed him the “Outstanding Asian-American Artist” award. The concept and style of abstract expressionism as represented by the works of Jackson Pollock in the 1950s had great impact on Yang’s work. With the sense of nihilism that gave rise to abstract expressionism in the post-war period, artists no longer clamored to depict the external environment, but rather chose to focus on their own inner experience. Yang Chihung embraced this spirit about the early 1990s when his style turned abstract. In 1984–85 and again in 1985–86, he was twice awarded a year's residency at The Clocktower Studio in New York City by MoMA P.S.1. In 2013, Yang, along with Xu Bing, Zhang Huan, and Li Chen, were the four artists featured in the Discovery Channel Asia documentary series, Chineseness, a multi-series production that focused on postwar Chinese contemporary artists. He is of the generation of artists such as Chen Tingshi, Liang Yifeng, Yang Yuyu, Pang Jiun, Yinhui Chen, Jui-Ling Hung, De-Jinn Shiy, Yong-ik Cho, Wan Chuan Chang, Kuosung Liu, Sanlang Yang, Chetsai Shen, Fu-sheng Ku, Chunxiang Zhao, Ming Ju, Ming-Che Huang, Jiutong Liu, In-Ting Ran, George Chann, Yi Hong, Tzu-Chi Yeh, Max Liu, Yi-Hsiung Chang, Che Chuang Awards and recognition 1989, Outstanding Asian American Artist Award, by Governor of New York 1984–1986, MoMA P.S.1 National Studio Program, Residency at Clocktower Studio, New York SELECTED GROUP EXHIBITIONS 1969 Contemporary Young Artists Exhibition, U.
