Boy Kong
AVAILABLE WORKS ON PAPER
Boy Kong (b.1993) is a self-taught multi-media artist born and raised in Orlando. Boy’s work draws inspiration from both his Chinese-Vietnamese heritage and a vast array of styles– from Folk and Graffiti to Ukiyo-e and Surrealism. He employs a multitude of disciplines including watercolor, painting, illustration, collage, assemblage, sculpture, and mural art.
Boy's distinct aesthetic knows no boundaries; its distinction, in fact, stems from his penchant for variety and his endless exploration of color in both theory and practice. Boy will frequently conflate and blur the lines between animal, mineral and vegetable when composing his subjects, which are further enlivened by his use of pastels and neons, lending the final works an electric-cum-folklore-ish quality of his own design.
His work has been exhibited in a number of solo and group shows throughout the United States since 2012, and he has had murals and other original works commissioned by the Audubon Mural Project, University of Central Florida, Google, Nike, Uniqlo, and Heineken among others; his work is included in various corporate collections and in the permanent collection of the Orlando Museum of Art.
