A dizzying presentation of paintings by Kristy M Chan is on view at the recently opened The Artist Room on Brewer Street in London.
Through vivid fuschia, sapphire, and emerald hues that dance around the canvas, Chan explores the abstract realms of emotions and dreams, in a process that she has coined ‘irrational conversion’.
With a BFA from Slade School of Art, and having graduated with an MA in Contemporary Art from Sotheby’s in 2020, Kristy M Chan is a young artist who has caught our attention and who we will be following in the coming years. Totally Not is on view until 15 January.
