constellation atlas @ Cloud Gallery (Seattle, WA)

My exhibition of new paintings, constellation atlas, recently opened at Cloud Gallery in Seattle, WA.

constellation atlas is a new body of work focused on surface material and acts as an attempt to map the unknowable universe. Comprised of patterns, layers, and paintings arising out of (sometimes visible) drawings these map like paintings encode and reject meaning upon the substrate.

The exhibition is on view June 6-July 30th, 2016.

ARCTIC CIRCLE Artist Residency and Expedition, summer solstice June 2016

It's getting hot down here in Texas as summer rolls in. But this is some "cool" news:

I am excited to announce I have been chosen by The Arctic Circle as an Artist-in-Residence aboard The Arctic Circle's rigged sailing ship, for the sumer solstice expedition in June 2016.

The expedition takes place within 10 degrees of the north pole and will leave from Longyearbyen, Svalbard (look it up, I didn't know where it was either). I plan on shooting lots of Drone video, doing paintings on-site and installing paintings into the incredible Arctic landscape. www.adamfung.com/arcticcircle

More info about the residency can be found here: www.thearcticcircle.org

I've been wanting to participate in this residency since its inception in 2009 and finally applied this year. More details will be forthcoming, including a fundraising effort.
