Kenneth Robert Lum, OC DFA (Chinese: 林荫庭; Chinese: 林蔭庭; Jyutping: lam4 jam3 ting4; born 1956) is a Canadian and American artist, academic, and curator. Lum's artistic practice spans multiple media including painting, sculpture and photography. His playfully politically oriented works, which range from conceptual to representational, often explore themes of identity linked to language, portraiture, and spatial politics. Since 2012, Lum has taught as a Professor of Fine Art in the Stuart Weitzman School of Design, the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
