Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork displays a minimalist composition featuring the word "DOCENT" in large, bold white lettering against a plain white background. The simplicity of the design, relying solely on typography, creates a striking and visually impactful piece. The clean, sans-serif font and the balanced arrangement of the letters contribute to the work's modern and conceptual style. This piece likely aims to challenge the traditional notion of art and curatorial practices, inviting the viewer to contemplate the role and significance of the "docent" or art guide within the contemporary art landscape. ...

Artist
Kristy M Chan
B.1997, Hong Kong

Kristy M Chan (b. 1997, Hong Kong) lives and works in London, creates artworks that traverse figuration and abstraction, resulting in energetic, intuitive, and autobiographical compositions. Departing from surreal and bewildering moments in contemporary life, Chan describes her works as 'stolen realities.' Primarily employing densely applied oil and oil stick, her paintings serve as visual archives of intense personal interactions amid the transient dynamism of the city. Living between Hong Kong and London, Chan incorporates subject matters from an outsider's perspective, contemplating the interplay between her identity influenced by both Eastern and Western cultures. Chan is intrigued by extracting descriptive metaphors from literature and reimagining them in her own unique way. Kristy M Chan completed her BFA at UCL Slade School of Fine Art in 2019 and her MA in Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art. Chan’s first solo show with Tabula Rasa Gallery is scheduled in 2024 in Beijing. Her recent solo exhibitions include: Molehill Mountaineer, The Cabin (Los Angeles, 2023); Binge, The Artist Room and Simon Lee Gallery (London, 2022); Strong Cookie, Prior Art Space (Berlin, 2022); Totally Not, The Artist Room (London, 2021). Chan has also undertaken residencies at The Cabin, Los Angeles (2022–3); Del Arco Residency, Berlin (2022); PILOTENKUECHE, Leipzig (2020); and AiR Frosterus, Finland (2019). ...
