Chie Fueki makes vibrant, large-scale paintings depicting figures, symbols, and abstract spaces using multi-layered ornamental surfaces and fields of color. As a visiting artist at the Neiman Center in 2026, she experimented with etching for the first time, translating imagery from her paintings into intimate, landscape-inspired abstractions.

Fueki lives and works in Beacon, NY. She was born in Yokohama, Japan, and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. Fueki earned her MFA at Yale University and her BFA at The Ringling College of Art and Design. She is a recipient of a MacDowell Fellowship (2025), the Pocantico Prize, Rockefeller Brother’s Fund (2024), UMOCA's Catherine Doctorow Prize for Contemporary Painting (2023), the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (2022), Joan Mitchell Fellowship (2021-2025), American Academy of Arts and Letters’ Purchase Prize (2021, 2004) and Rosenthal Family Foundation Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (2004).
