Frank Vega (b. 1992, Ecuador) is an interdisciplinary artist working with sculpture, painting, and hybrid objects. Different materials, surfaces, and shapes help Vega build what he calls “Units,” objects with unique attributions that coexist to create larger narratives. The work builds from his personal mythology, memories, current world events, abstraction, and other art histories.
Vega lives and works in Chicago. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has exhibited at the Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago; Chicago Art Department, Chicago; MDW Fair at Mana Contemporary, Chicago; The Green Gallery, Milwaukee; Koik Contemporary, Mexico City; and the Krannert Art Museum, Champaign, Illinois. He has been awarded with a Frankenthaler Scholarship from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Florence M. House Scholarship and the Helen E. Platt Blake Scholarship, both from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a Leroy Neiman Fellowship from Ox-Bow School of Art.
