Charles Yuen has been awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship, Adolf and Esther Gottlieb Foundation grant, and a Joan Mitchell Foundation grant. He has had numerous solo gallery exhibitions, primarily in New York City. His work has also been included in exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Newark Museum, and the Anhui Modern Art Museum, Hefei China. Reviews of Yuen’s art have been published in multiple venues including Art in America, Hyperallergic, New York Times, Brooklyn Rail, and the Boston Globe.

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.
