BIO
Chen Peng / 彭宸 is a Taiwanese artist based in Hoboken, New Jersey. Working across painting and ceramics, Peng creates still lifes that blend real and imagined worlds. Her works often take the form of shrine-like landscapes—arrangements of everyday objects, images of dogs, and hand-built ceramic sculptures that hold memory, emotion, and quiet humor. Through these intimate compositions, Peng explores daily routines, companionship, and tenderness.
Peng has exhibited her work in New York, Boston, Cleveland, Columbus, and Taipei, and has participated in artist residencies at the Studios at MASS MoCA, the Vermont Studio Center, and the Wassaic Project. Her work has been featured in New American Paintings and ArtMaze Magazine, and is included in several public collections, including the Cleveland Institute of Art, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, and the Fidelity Corporate Art Collection.
Peng holds an MFA in Painting from Boston University (2022) and a BFA in Painting from the Cleveland Institute of Art (2016). Before moving to the United States, she earned a BA in Philosophy from National Taiwan University. Alongside her studio practice, she teaches art and advocates for animal rights, creating illustrations for the Taiwan Animal Equality Association since 2018.
