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.
