Described by Ken Johnson of The New York Times as having a “Red Groomsian comic verve,” Chan captures the humor, chaos, absurdity, and fleeting moments of contemporary urban life. Through drawing and mixed media, everyday characters, objects, and encounters become part of an ever-changing city theatre.
Shopping carts, e-bikes, food trucks, skateboarders, commuters, influencers, couples, and solitary travelers populate his compositions like characters in an ongoing urban theatre. Pulled from the rhythms of daily life and rearranged into unexpected encounters, these familiar images take on new meaning. A shopping cart becomes a vessel for desire and memory; a passing stranger becomes a performer; the daily commute becomes a constantly changing spectacle.
Chan’s layered approach to oil stick, oil paint, charcoal, wax, and acrylic mirrors the experience of the city itself. Images accumulate, disappear, overlap, and re-emerge, creating surfaces that feel simultaneously immediate and fragmented. Humor and satire keep the work light on its feet, while beneath the visual chaos lies a deeper meditation on consumer culture, identity, isolation, nostalgia, and desire.
Ultimately, Transient City is about the strange contradiction of urban existence: being surrounded by millions of lives while constantly experiencing the fleeting nature of our own. Chan reminds us that the city is not simply a place we pass through—it is a place that passes through us.
Transient City runs until Nov 7th.
PREVIEW THE WORKS ︎︎
Kim's paintings are driven by a continual pursuit of images that resonate on a deeply human level. Her figures and landscapes exist between reality and recollection, inviting viewers into intimate moments that feel both familiar and otherworldly. Each composition is imbued with a sense of stillness and emotional depth, revealing a painter committed to creating works that speak as much to the soul as they do to the eye.
While rooted in the timeless traditions of painting, Kim's practice embraces a distinctly contemporary sensibility. She balances classical aesthetics with modern techniques, creating luminous surfaces and nuanced compositions that feel both enduring and unmistakably of the present. In The Place Memory Keeps, she continues to refine this visual language, offering a collection of paintings that linger long after they are seen works that remind us how memory shapes not only the places we have been, but the people we become.
