Samuel Hung Art

b. 1981
Samuel Hung (b. 1981, Taiwan) is a New York-based artist currently living in Brooklyn. He earned his BFA from the Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA, and furthered his painting studies at the Grand Central Atelier in Queens, where he became acquainted with the techniques of the 19th-century French Academy. Since then, Hung has honed his skills in still life painting, choosing objects and compositions that elicit playfulness, whimsy, and nostalgia. About his still life subjects, Hung says: “I am drawn to the beauty of the old and familiar. From Japanese icons to nostalgic Americana, I collect items that are ephemeral and elicit feelings of wistful memory. These forgotten objects evoke an anthropomorphic sense of yearning from the past and elicit feelings of satisfaction one experiences when those moments are relived.” Hung’s paintings can be found in collections in the United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. He is a principal instructor at the Grand Central Atelier’s core program, where he teaches cast drawing, cast painting, and still life painting.

GOD WANTS ME TO FORGIVE THEM!?! - Oil Painting of a Frightened Bob the Tomato
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
A scene of distress is depicted in this work regarding Bob the Tomato, a primary character in the acclaimed children’s animation, VeggieTales. “God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!” challenges the formative life lessons we are taught from a young age that is not always easy to uphold. Based on a prophetic dream I had surrounding ideas of violence, familial relationships, estrangement, biblical references, revenge, and ultimately death, this painting begs...

True North - Identity, Surreal Blue Sky with Distinctive Cloud Markings
By Mark Bowers
Located in Chicago, IL
"True North - Identity" is a worms-eye view of a brilliant blue sky with a maze of distinctive clouds. The surreal quality of the imagery makes the viewer question reality. Are the clouds actual clouds or made by some other means? Are those fluffy clouds behind the bare branches or mountains? The ellipsed edges confirm the scene as an inner vision rather than a window on the world. The painting itself is painted on a handmade wooden panel with beautifully finished edges so no frame is needed. Mark Bowers True North - Identity oil on panel 9h x 12w in 22.86h x 30.48w cm MJB014 TRUE NORTH PAINTINGS Unconscious systemic biases may guide our actions or direct us---similar to the human construct of “True North”, which holds to coordinate systems. The Earth’s “Magnetic North” moves over time according to polar shifts; flux and correction is enabled by polarity. In these paintings (Privilege, Orientation, Belief, Identity, Equity), I use compositional elements referencing nautical com- passes to suggest that society must navigate not within systems, but naturally through positive relationships and change. I hope that my art represents our present day - but also imparts a dreamful glimpse of hope and faith within. Explanation: A magnetic compass does not point toward the true North Pole of the Earth. Rather, it more closely points toward the North Magnetic Pole of the Earth. The North Magnetic Pole is currently located in northern Canada. It wanders in an elliptical path each day, and moves, on the average, more than forty meters northward each day. Evidence indicates that the North Magnetic Pole has wandered over much of the Earth's surface in the 4.5 billion years since the Earth formed. Mark Bowers- Artist Statement With the depiction of landscape playing such a central role in the history of North American art, it seemed to offer many of the critical possibilities I was looking for, and it felt more and more like something I have always known. Something I could easily apply, stage, and manipulate as a diary. My work consists of small-scale highly detailed landscape paintings. They are inspired by the comfort, trepidation, and beauty found in the mundane Chicago Suburbs. I combine nature, decorative house wares...

True North - Privilege, Surreal Landscape w/ Blue Sky, Scattered Clouds, & House
By Mark Bowers
Located in Chicago, IL
"True North - Privilege" is a dream-like view of a cloud filled sky yet nothing feels quite real. The ellipsed edges confirm the scene as an inner vision rather than a window on the world. The foreground gives a glimpse of a white structure but we must use our imagination to piece the scene together. The painting itself is painted on a handmade wooden panel with beautifully finished edges so no frame is needed.
