CHARLES YUEN


"Radar Poiuyt", oil on canvas, 48 x 40 inches, 2007.

Charles Yuen lives and paints in New York City. He is a recent
recipient of a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant. One person exhibitions
in New York have been at Elizabeth Harris Gallery, Art in General,
Metaphor Contemporary Art, LeoTony Gallery, and the Asian American
Arts Center. Reviews of his work have appeared in numerous
publications including Art in America, the New York Times, Time Out,
and Art Papers. Being originally from Hawaii, and of a mixed ethnic
background (Chinese and Japanese) has influenced his outlook and art.
He has an interest in a poetics of the psyche, where association,
metaphor, and rationality deliriously coexist. With a rich mix of
compassion and humor, experience and innocence, criticism and
acceptance, his work has a dreamy complexity aimed at a mesmerized
uncertainty.
