TCU Art Professor Adam Fung Featured in VoyageDallas

TCU School of Art Professor Adam Fung recently spoke with VoyageDallas about his career as an artist and educator, sharing how field research, travel and the natural environment have shaped more than two decades of painting.

Fung’s contemporary landscape practice explores environmental systems and global climate change through painting and video. His research has taken him from Antarctica and the High Arctic to dark sky parks in Texas and New Mexico, Tuscany and Australia’s Wollemi National Park. These experiences provide an archive of photographs, video, sound and watercolor studies that Fung brings back to his Fort Worth studio.

“I’m really curious how environments can start to change us, and wonder if paintings (or art) can do this as well?” Fung told VoyageDallas. “I believe engaging with physical, natural environments is vital to understanding our planet.”

Now in his 13th year at TCU, Fung also reflected on mentoring undergraduate and MFA students and his new role as graduate coordinator for the School of Art’s MFA program.
