Rexy Tseng (b. 1986) is a visual artist who works primarily in painting and installation. His art practice derives from the dark humor and unrequited desires found within contemporary living conditions. Blurring human forms and objects, Tseng’s works press sensations against logic. By expanding on intimate observations, Tseng stages the unresolved past with possible futures, where he addresses personal politics, technological flaws, traumas, and emotional residues. Born and raised in Taipei until the age of thirteen, Tseng relocated to upstate New York to further his education. He received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University in 2009, he attended MFA at UCLA in 2012, and he attended MFA at University of Oxford in 2017. Between degrees, Tseng worked as a software engineer in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.

Tseng has exhibited in Armenia, China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Russia, the U.K., and the U.S.. He has received awards and recognition from Charlottenborg Foundation, Tomorrow Sculpture Awards, Asia Digital Art Award Fukuoka, Taipei Art Awards, Li Chun-Shan Foundation Visual Art Award, Ministry of Culture of Taiwan, Taipei City Government, and others. Tseng has participated in artist residencies internationally, including Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Cite internationale des arts, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Korea), Organhaus, Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Tokyo Arts and Space, and more.
