Joanne Chan 陳頌欣
Overview
Joanne Chan, Into the woods, 2023, Oil on canvas, 120 x 160cm
Chan Chung Yan, Joanne (1992, Hong Kong) graduated in 2015 from the Chelsea College of Arts at the University of the Arts London, where she majored in Fine Arts. Through her artistic practice, she explores and documents the journey of the heart. Deeply immersed in nature, she draws inspiration from extreme sports such as diving and paragliding, which provide her with a wealth of visual stimuli. Her unique style features large-scale abstract landscapes characterized by overlapping colors, using a vibrant palette to portray various dimensions of the spiritual world and celebrating the beauty of interconnected souls. Each piece is imbued with her personal stories and intense emotions.
The artist captures the complexities of human experience, encompassing both suffering and joy. The abstract form of her work presents her innermost thoughts with raw honesty, yet retains a holistic perspective on events. This creates a blurred space that invites direct engagement with the audience, fostering resonance on an energetic level without overshadowing the subject matter.
"Exploring the feelings that accompany the themes of life and death brings me closer to the beauty of life. I hope to share my insights through my paintings." — Joanne Chan.
In her creative process, the artist confronts her emotions, unraveling chaotic thoughts and organizing them through brushstrokes, texture, and color ratios on canvas. This leads to a philosophical dialogue that invites interpretation. Chan’s spiritual journey is documented through her abstract works, which serve as portals guiding viewers into her unique aesthetic realm. As they navigate the landscapes she depicts, they traverse a spectrum of emotions, offering alternative perspectives on identity.
Chan’s works have been exhibited in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, and the UK, establishing her as a prominent emerging artist in Hong Kong with significant acclaim in both local and international art scenes.
