A vibrant artistic practice centred on communal care, cultural memory, and participation.
About
Erin Hung is a Hong Kong–based multidisciplinary artist with over two decades of experience in art and design, working across illustration, sculpture, murals, and participatory installations.
Her practice draws from the disciplines of design and illustration as well as her academic training in fine art and contemporary art, exploring how care circulates through culture and community, shaped by memory, place, and shared gestures.
Grounded in balance and often articulated through symmetry and modular structures, her work creates spatial systems that invite contemplation and subtle recalibration. Within these ordered frameworks, fluid mark-making and experimental gestures operate as counterpoints, generating an ongoing dialogue between control and intuition.
Hung holds a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from University of the Arts London (formerly Byam Shaw School of Art at Central Saint Martins) and an MA (Distinction) in Contemporary Art from Sotheby’s Institute.
Selected Collaborations
Erin has led public-facing projects with organisations such as Mind Hong Kong, UNHCR, Malala Fund, including exhibitions, street-based interventions, and community murals. In addition, she has also delivered commissioned work for brands and institutions such as Lush Cosmetics and Shake Shack delivering culturally grounded, thoughtful approaches to wellbeing, storytelling, and place-making.
These collaborations are integrated into her wider practice, allowing ideas, symbols, and research to travel seamlessly across institutional, public, and commercial settings, reinforcing a cohesive, multidisciplinary approach.
Art, Advocacy & Collaboration
Erin Hung’s practice moves fluidly across institutional, public, and commercial contexts. She develops projects with cultural institutions, community organisations, NGOs, brands, and placemaking initiatives, creating spaces where artistic inquiry and real-world engagement coexist without dilution.
Her work positions vibrant expression as a shared language of connection and joyful resistance. Through socially engaged, design-led projects, audiences are invited to slow down, reflect, and experience care as a collective practice rather than a private act.
