ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

藝術家簡介

 

 

Jasmine Chan is a Hong Kong-based illustrator and painter who works both digitally and traditionally with oil, acrylic and gouache paint. Through her art, she delves into her expression of human passion, conjuring complex feelings of the human experience — romance, obsession, love and hate — into tangible forms. Blending still life with abstraction, her work blurs the line between reality and distortion. Her creative practice is deeply inspired by prose in classic English literature; Driven by contemplations of her own emotions and observations in life that expand outward into a connection with the universe. Each piece invites viewers into her world where the rawness of human experience intersects with poetic interpretation, creating a visual dialogue that is both personal and universal.

 

陳希童是一位香港插畫家及畫家,擅長電繪與傳統創作,包括油畫、塑膠彩和水粉顏料。通過她的藝術,她鍾情於對人類熱情的詮釋,將浪漫、迷戀、愛與恨等複雜情感具象化。她的作品融合靜物與抽象風格,模糊了現實與扭曲之間的界限。

她的創作靈感深受經典英文文學的啟發,並源自於對自身情感的反思與生活觀察,進一步延伸至與宇宙的連結。每件作品都邀請觀者進入她的世界,在人類經驗的真實與詩意的詮釋之間創造出既個人又普世的視覺對話。

I of the Storm

The sinews of my heart twist and burn with a desperate hunger to be known. They ebb and flow until they eat into this cage of flesh; Until they settle as the marrow in my bones again. 

 

I have poured my guts out and splattered them onto the canvas, only for them to stare back at me — ebbing and flowing, ever-changing. 

 

"Let everything happen to you 

Beauty and terror 

Just keep going 

No feeling is final"

任一切降臨於你,美麗或恐懼,只要繼續前行,沒有感受會是終點。」

過往作品

Born with

 

Oil and acrylic on canvas, 2023, 60 x 60 cm

 

 

The painting depicts the sentiment opposing child birth in our day and age because it is simply unfair. The peril the baby is going through is a reflection of our world right now.

 

 

Hello World

 

Oil and acrylic on canvas, 2023, 40 x 60 cm

 

 

The displacement of objects and the chaos caused is a mirror of the world we are walking upon today.

 

 

The Void

 

Oil on canvas, 2023, 100 x 100 cm

 

 

The image conjures a juxtaposition of luck, the Asian fortune cats, and the loo, a symbol of vulgarity. This contrast, along with the image so devoid of colour and emotion is a requiem for our vain struggle for hope.
