Nathan Jeung (b. 1994, San Francisco) is a San Francisco-based artist with an interest in pop culture and iconic media. His works on paper are often devoted to characters from Pokémon and Yugioh, as well as other anime and Disney films. He works primarily with pencil, watercolor, markers, and collaged printed images. Jeung has been a practicing artist at Creativity Explored for almost a decade.
Some of Jeung’s works are visual representations of the feeling and experience he gets from listening to and performing music. His artistic process slides seamlessly between media; he watches an episode of High School Musical, sings along, and creates a collaged painting which illuminates his favorite points in the songs. These works operate as a personalized musical score.
Jeung’s work was first exhibited in Into the Brightness (2023) at the Oakland Museum of California, and recently in the group exhibition Just to Be (2026) at Hospitality House in San Francisco.
