With a color palette as rich as his life story, the works of Chae Tongyull are steeped in literary symbolism and rooted in a deep appreciation for romantic adventure. Born in Busan amidst the Korean war of the 1950s, Chae has travelled the world, eventually seeking his fame and fortune within the U.S. In his twenties, he was the founder of the “Idists” movement, an expressionist group based out of New Orleans. Later, he would move to New York city to become one of the only Asian (and only Korean artists) within the East Village art scene of the 1980s, where he was a contemporary of legends such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Since 1993, he has travelled and painted extensively within the Himalayas, exploring remote regions in China, Tibet, Nepal, and India. His works gain inspiration from a diverse range of classic artistic and literary traditions: the prose of Shakespeare, mysterious legends from Korean folklore, the eccentric brushstrokes of Chinese Calligraphy master Pa-Ta-Shan-Jen, Buddhist philosophy, and much more. Because of their rich texture and unique subject matter, his art has been praised and collected for its value in straddling both American and South Korean cultural identities, as well as various places in between. Recently, he is also enjoying working on oil transfer drawings.

Chae Tongyull has participated in various international exhibitions and gallery shows, including within the Bronfman Center in Montreal, Saatchi & Saatchi in NYC, "And the Beat Goes On" in Shanghai and Chengdu," and more. Additionally, his works are part of permanent collections of the Korean National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Samsung Lium Art Museum, Daelim Art Museum, and Daejeon Expo.

Chae Tongyull has a career that spans over 4 decades and many more continents. As an immigrant to the US in the 1980s, he offered a uniquely Asian voice to the East Village art scene taking place in New York City. As the product of two cultures, his work is rife with colors, stories, and the experiences of a life well-travelled. Following his breakout moment in New York City, his work has taken him to Canada, Mexico, Europe, and many cities large and small along the Himalayas, where he has been traveling and painting since 2010.

Physical work: "Time (Return of Carousel), 2021, oil on Canvas, 90 ⅹ 72 inch.
"In the spring of 1992, my family and I took a trip to Paris. My 5-year-old daughter was captivated by the carousels scattered across the city, and insisted on riding each one again and again. As a carousel moves, it inevitably returns to its starting point. To her, it wasn't just a simple ride; it was a never-ending journey of eternal bliss where time and space seemed to fade away.
How so?
Perhaps her heart was filled with magic and mystery, leaving no room for facts and logic. Now, at 36 years old, her heart still has no room for mere facts and logic.
This painting was created in NYC's East Village in 1986, and inspired by a year-long journey from New York to Yucatan, Mexico, via Montreal, Canada, and back again. I had much time to reflect. The concept of Nietzsche's eternal return fueled the creation of the artwork. Remarkably, 40 years later, an animated version of the painting resurfaced, echoing the sentiments of the original work with a timeless smile.
