Charles Yuen has been awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship, Adolf and Esther Gottlieb Foundation grant, and a Joan Mitchell Foundation grant. His work has been included in exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Armory Show New York, the Newark Museum, and the Anhui Modern Art Museum, Hefei China. He has had numerous solo exhibitions primarily, but not limited to, the New York City area. Public collections include the Brooklyn Museum, Zimmerli Museum at Rutgers, NYU Fales Library, the Asian American Art Institute. Reviews of Yuen’s art have been published in multiple venues including Art in America, the New York Times, and Hyperallergic.
Originally from Hawaii, Charles Yuen holds a MFA (Rutgers University) and BFA (University of Hawaii). I view my art as part catharsis, part poetics, and inherently iconoclastic. It is connected to a social and civic vision with activities including a founding membership in Godzilla, an Asian American arts organization.
Charles Yuen currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
