Tong Fung Chuar (b. 1996) graduated with his Master’s and Bachelor’s in Fine Art from the National School of Fine Art in Dijon, France, with a one year exchange at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, China. As a painter, Tong’s themes articulate around the specific realm where corporality and senses are introduced into the imagination. The basic gestures and items are arranged to provoke a narrative, poetic absurdity in which we reflect on our relationship with objects, languages, bodies, and images.

The issues of spatial experience, animality, and violence are currently the main subjects occurring in the creation process, aimed at exploring the possibility of cohabiting these themes in a relatively harmonious situation. Tong’s debut solo exhibition was Occurs at The Zhongshan Building in 2024. He has participated in group exhibitions around Malaysia, France, and China.
