Kristy M Chan

Kristy M Chan holds a BFA from the Slade School of Fine Art (2019) and an MA in Contemporary Art from Sotheby’s Institute of Art (2020). Chan’s gestural canvases use thick, layered brushstrokes to explore the complexities of “homeland” and cultural identity through abstract expressionism. Her work reflects the global diaspora experience with an intuitive and dynamic use of oil paint. Highlights of recent exhibitions include ‘Night Studio,’ Tabula Rasa Gallery, Beijing; ‘Molehill Mountaineer,’ The Cabin, Los Angeles; and ‘Binge,’ The Artist Room and Simon Lee Gallery, London. In 2023, she was selected for Forbes 30 Under 30 China.
