TK Chan 陳紫君 - ANIMALS Collection
Ms Tsz – Kwan CHAN began her Chinese ink painting series in winter 2016 under the encouragement and guidance of established artist POON Kwing Wing (Water POON).
Inspired by the round cuteness of her own pet animals, she sought to capture these lively qualities with the movement of her ink brush and the colour ink wash of her images. Her animal paintings have been described as embodying happy feelings of love and caring.
In this animal series she wished to convey that all life was precious; that we need to treasure life, every little bit of it, including not abandoning or killing sick animals & ourselves not succumbing to thoughts of hopelessness & suicide. It meant seeing new beauty in adopting & nurturing our pets.
This animal collection was first shown at INK ASIA art fair in December 2016 in Hong Kong where her fresh contemporary ink style, received much attention from the local media & from established Chinese ink painters.
Then the collection was shown at Art Stage Singapore in January 2017 where some paintings were selected by 33 Auction Singapore for sale in May 2017.
Her picture ‘Rooster Family’ sold for SGD 1,600 at that auction.
In addition, another two of her paintings: “Rooster Family 2” and “Playful Dog” sold for SGD2,000 and SGD1,700 respectively at 33 auction in Singapore in February 2018.
In 2018, T K will develop a set of Chinese zodiac animals for her latest collection.
