Andrew On-Tsun Fung

Andrew On-Tsun Fung joined the PhD program in 2021. His research focuses on Japanese art in the early modern period and, in particular, how ink painters associated with Sinophile and Zen circles interpreted their relationship with their Chinese counterparts in the eighteenth century. He holds a B.A. from the University of Hong Kong, and an M.A. from Columbia University where he conducted for his thesis a close study of a pair of oshiebari byōbu screens by the Obaku Zen monk-painter Kakutei Jōkō (1722–86). He has previously worked as Assistant Curator at Asia Society Hong Kong Center and published in Orientations and Arts of Asia.
