Read MoreRexy Tseng (1986) is a visual artist who works primarily in painting and installation. His art practice derives from the dark humor and unrequited desires found within contemporary living conditions. Blurring human forms and objects, Tseng’s works press sensations against logic. By expanding on intimate observations, Tseng stages the unresolved past with possible futures, where he addresses personal politics, technological flaws, traumas, and emotional residues. Born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan until the age of thirteen, Tseng relocated to the United States to further his education. He received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University in 2009, he attended MFA at UCLA in 2012, and he attended MFA at University of Oxford in 2017.
Tseng has exhibited in China, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Russia, Taiwan, and the U.S.. He has received awards and recognition from the Pittsburgh Technology Council, Arte Laguna Prize, Tomorrow Sculpture Awards, New Star Art Award, Taipei Art Awards, Ministry of Culture of Taiwan, National Culture and Arts Foundation of Taiwan, Taipei City Government, and others.
