The Artist Room is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by Kristy M Chan (b.1997, Hong Kong), her first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom.
A recent Slade School of Fine Art graduate, Chan’s practice energetically negotiates between abstraction and figuration, continuing her ongoing search for a sense of ‘home’ whilst navigating between Eastern and Western cultures. The four new large-scale paintings included in the exhibition respond to surreal and dizzying social encounters that define her perception of daily life. Utilising a distinctive palette of fluorescent and jewelled tones, these works distil the intensity and spectacle of city life at its most rapid and dissonant pace.
