          Art Next Expo Exhibition 2019 Alice Chan-Artist Booth Q18, First Floor in PMQ, Nov. 1-4, 2019

          Art Next Expo Exhibition 2019

          這次畫展是有關「生命之光」的題材。希望借助中國及西方藝術精粹中的融合表達出人生中正面、樂觀豁達的題材。 這兩幅抽象畫是以現代中國水墨畫及西洋塑膠彩畫間強烈的光暗對比表達出迅速的時間流逝與人生百感交集的像交響樂一般的戲劇化的感覺。賞畫者可於藝術品中的強烈光暗之間感受到此刻的熱鬧、快樂、正面積極的能量。這三幅現代中國畫作是非常有動感及獨特的藝術作品。在漆黑一片的中國墨形成的像神祕煙霧中的背景可讓那有西方特色繁華盛放的金屬色襯托出來。帶活力及有力量的筆觸可以為賞畫人帶出非常有快樂的正能量。這三幅現代中國水墨畫運用了反傳統的顔料及中西合璧的配搭出一種嶄新的現代水墨畫的演繹。

          FORWARD
          Dear Art Lovers,

          These abstract, landscape, and floral artworks and paintings are created to enable art viewers to appreciate the beauties of nature and to elevate and enrich artistic minds. The main theme of this art exhibition is about “Enlightenment”. The artist uses the essence of contemporary Chinese ink art and traditional Western acrylic painting to create a brand new style of art. These modern abstract Chinese paintings are created to inspire positivity through the creative process of enlightenment with a new art form. With the stark contrast of both light and dark, you can sense deep emotions through the swift passing of time. And ultimately, viewers can experience the dramatic and transient nature and the abundance of life through these modern abstract paintings.

          Honey Badger is a formidable bear in Africa. "Jambo" means "hello" in Africa. The artist admires the honey badger as it's an animal that is not afraid of overcoming tremendous obstacles when it strives to succeed. The honey badger continues to survive in its dry habitat where food is scarce.

          It will venture into the bee hives and tolerate pain of the bee stings in order to eat the bee larva. The badger is not afraid of the horns that come its way to get the mice hiding inside the horns. The badger is not afraid to combat with the poisonous scorpions or snakes in the wild.

          Hang this animal in your living space. Remind yourself that are as strong and formidable as the honey badger and the badger will motivate you to succeed in your everyday life.

          About the Artist (200 words):

          Alice Chan is a currently living and working as an artist and an architectural designer in Notting Hill, London. Alice is currently represented by Avenue West Gallery in Spokane, WA, USA. Alice had won numerous art awards and had shown her artwork both internationally and locally. Born in Hong Kong, lived and worked in the United States for decades as an architectural designer in Seattle, WA, and New York City, NY. ALICE CHAN is a contemporary Asian artist who studied fine art and architecture in the United States, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Japan, China, Singapore, Portugal, Florence, and Rome.

          Alice’s artwork is based on the theme of healing and empowerment in power of Mother Nature. Having lived in Seattle, the Evergreen State of Washington, nature is her main inspiration for her artwork where Alice was surrounded by nature. Nature is consistently evolving through cycles of massive destruction and the birth of life. Alice’s art seeks to capture the beautiful transient moments of the orchestra of life, where cycles of life and death is consistently evolving. You will find lots of natural and man-made elements such as flowers, landscape, wildlife, architecture, and still life that translate back into the theme of nature throughout her work.

          Alice wishes that these two of her paintings that she’s showing at this “Exhibit Now” Charity Art Show will be healing for the patients at the hospital at this charity event. Alice wishes her artwork can convey that hope does exist and full recovery is possible. Through her wildlife paintings, Alice wishes that patients can believe in our body’s natural healing power and bring health & wellness back into their lives. Alice hopes to help patients regain hope and faith in their recovery journey.
