ABOUT THE ARTIST
Su-Chen Hung grew up in Taiwan and has lived in San Francisco since 1977. Studying Chinese Literature at Tunghai University in Taiwan, she later graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology. She earned her BFA in Photography and her MFA in Filmmaking at the San Francisco Art Institute. Hung’s work is simple and elegant. Sometimes intensely personal, sometimes a dialogue with cultural and social subjects, the work always begins with a conceptual and visual core idea. Both her studio work and her large-scale public art projects have a meditative aura. She creates places of contemplation and repose.
