Wai Ming LUNG is a visual artist born in Hong Kong in 1970, currently based in Paris. Trained at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris, he works across multiple disciplines — painting, drawing, photography, installation — enriched by a life path that spans fashion, creative direction, and critical writing.

His work explores the tensions between city and memory, material and language, intimacy and fiction. Through the concept of Fictional Art, he examines contemporary alienation, self-transformation, and the sacred within the ordinary.

Often monochromatic, his palette engages a dialogue between fullness and emptiness, in a dynamic drawn from Taoist thought. Since 2021, his work has been presented in 20 exhibitions across 7 countries — from Paris to New York, Europe to Asia — in both independent spaces and institutional contexts.

Through recurring gestures and fragmented narratives, he builds an oeuvre that embraces the absurd with lucidity — like Sisyphus, not to defeat it, but to inhabit it with grace.

To make repetition a poetic resistance.
To turn constraint into a space of freedom.
