Lie Fhung was born in Jakarta, Indonesia in 1969
and now lives in Hong Kong.
She received many prizes and recognition for her art work as an artist from an early age. She has been involved in diverse fields, from graphic design to toy design, from various crafts to fine art. As an artist, she thrives in exploring new territories and crossing boundaries. For her, creating art is a way to introspect, investigate and explore things in and around her - and eventually, to share the results with the public.
She is interested in tensions between the private and the public; between the individual and society, between what lies beneath and what is shown on the surface. She continues to expand her artistic vocabulary through her exploration of various media (ranging from clay and ceramics to paint and wire, and most recently, digital imaging) and presentations (two-dimensional objects, sculptural pieces, artist books and installations).
She studied fine art at the Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia, graduating in 1994. She has had solo and group exhibitions in Bandung, Jakarta,
Jogjakarta, Vermont, and Korea.
In 2007, her work was added to the Permanent Collection of
the World Ceramic Foundation, Icheon, South Korea.
In 2008, she received a Freeman Fellowship Award for an 8-week artist residency
at Vermont Studio Center. Her resulting work was exhibited
at the Red Mill Gallery, Johnson, Vermont.
Recently, one of her ceramic installation works has been featured
in the book "Contemporary Ceramics" by Emmanuel Cooper,
published by Thames and Hudson, October 2009.
Her most recent solo show "Corporeal Dream" was held in Jakarta
in Nov. 20 - Dec. 12, 2009 with favorable reception.
