Phunk Studio簡歷
陳文祥（1974年生）、朱文輝（1974年生）、陳俊達（1974年生）與陳威廉（1973年生）是四位新加坡籍的華裔藝術家/設計師。他們在新加坡Lasalle-SIA藝術學院相識，然後在1994年一起成立了Phunk Studio，一個新加坡的創意組合。
英國的Creative Review雜誌稱他們是新加坡平面設計圈的頂尖好手，英國ComputerArts雜誌說他們是「亞洲最紅的創意工作室」，中國的「大聲展」也稱他們是「新一波年輕亞洲創意人士的代表人物」。Phunk Studio是亞洲頂尖的藝術與設計組合。
他們大量拓展其視覺特色到不同領域。他們的特色是天衣無縫地混合並重新詮釋其多元的文化影響，包括傳統中國工藝與民間故事、香港通俗小說、日本漫畫、御宅族次文化、西方流行文化、藝術與設計運動，並使這些影響成為獨特的創意思想，反映了他們多元的文化認同、文化背景與環境。在當代全球化的浪潮中，「宇宙主義」成為他們作
品反覆出現的主題。
他們不斷模糊「藝術家」與「商業設計工作室」之間的界線，混合新普普藝術意識型態與後現代主義設計感性，藉以挑戰傳統上對「藝術家」與「商業設計工作室」的概念與定義。要說明他們跨科際的創作手法，最好的講法是他們專注在實驗視覺表現新手法的「一種美學的集體意識」。他們廣泛多元的創作計畫，橫跨藝術、設計、出版、時尚、音樂、電影與互動媒體。
Phunk Studio曾與不少國際品牌合作過，例如耐吉、諾基亞、MTV音樂頻道、戴姆勒克萊斯勒汽車、Comme des Garco服飾、李維牛仔褲、虎牌啤酒與Salem香菸。他們的作品在許多國際刊物上發表，也獲得多種設計獎項。
他們曾受邀到世界各地展覽或演講，也代表新加坡參加2005年韓國光州設計雙年展與
2006年倫敦設計節。2005年，新加坡歷史博物館為他們辦了十年回顧展「頹廢的十年」。

phunk is a contemporary art and design collective based in Singapore.
Alvin Tan (b. 1974), Melvin Chee (b. 1974), Jackson Tan (b. 1974) and William Chan (b. 1973) are 4 Singaporean artists/designers. They met in LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore and came together in 1994 to form :phunk.
Described as “The Champion of Singapore’s Graphic Scene” (Creative Review, UK), “Asia’s hottest agency” (Computer Arts, UK), “one of the world’s foremost cutting-edge design collectives” (Asia Tatler, Hong Kong) and “iconic representatives of the new wave of young Asian creators” (Get it Louder, China).
They have propagated a visual signature that seamlessly blends and reinterprets their diverse influences such as traditional Chinese craft, philosophy and folklore, Hong Kong wuxia pulp fiction, Japanese manga and otaku subculture, Western popular culture, art and design movements into a singular creative thought that reflects their multi-cultural identity, background and environment.
Labeled “Creators of modern urban mythological tales” (Chinese Contemporary Art News, Taiwan), :phunk has created a visual universe densely populated by ancient gods and modern creatures, to depict universal tales social satire, humanity morality, rock n’ roll ethos, contemporary culture and :phunk’s unique witty sense of humor. The concept of ‘universality’ in the age of modern globalization is a constant theme in their works.
They constantly challenge the conventional notion and definition of the ‘artist’ and ‘commercial design studio’ by constantly blurring the boundaries between both, mixing Neo Pop Art ideology with Post-Modernist design sensibilities. Their cross-disciplinary approach is best described as “an aesthetic collective consciousness” focused on experimenting with new approaches to visual expressions. Their expansive scope of projects spans across art, design, publishing, fashion, music, film and interactive.
phunk has collaborated and worked with international brands such as Nike, Nokia, MTV, Daimler Chrysler, Comme des Garçon, Uniqlo, Levi’s and Tiger Beer. Their works are featured in many international publications and awarded in various design award shows. One of their artworks titled ‘Electricity’ was cited in the book, ‘Graphic Design, A New History’ as “Instances of truly global graphic design”. They were awarded ‘Designer of the Year’ in 2007 by the President’s Design Award, the highest accolade for designers in Singapore.
They have exhibited and lectured extensively around the world.They launched their solo artist exhibition, ‘Universality’ at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei in 2007. They represented Singapore at the Gwangju Design Biennale 2005 and the London Design Festival 2006. The Singapore History Museum hosted their 10 year retrospective exhibition ‘A Decade of Decadence’ in 2005.
