Chae Tongyull is an artist, entrepreneur, and the founder of Seoul-based art agency Wave-i. Born in Korea, Chae moved to the United States to begin his art career in the early 1980s, where he quickly gained a reputation as a nomadic neo-expressionist artist in New York City’s East Village scene, the center of the art world.
