An Gee Chan: Tomorrow is Another Day”

EVENT DESCRIPTION

ODD ONE OUT is proud to host “ Tomorrow is Another Day”, by printmaker An Gee Chan. The exhibition will be held at ODD ONE OUT from now until 7th of September 2022.

‘Tomorrow is Another Day’ trails a group of horseback riders as they travel on a never ending journey through a lush yet sometimes inhospitable landscape. Throughout their travels, various events occur, some joyful, some unfortunate. An Gee captures these moments in time and pairs the detailed etchings with humorous titles.

Featuring 12 etchings by An Gee Chan, a selection of her hand pulled ceramics that continue her darkly humorous theme will be available as well.

ABOUT THE ARTIST / ORGANISER

An Gee Chan holds a Bachelor’s degree(Hon) in illustration and animation at Kingston University and a Master’s degree in Fine Art in Printmaking from the Royal College of Art in London. She has taught printmaking and drawing at the Academy of Visual Arts, Hong Kong Baptist University. She is represented by Tintype Gallery in London and has participated in exhibitions both locally and internationally.

An Gee collects daily life observations and experiences as sources of inspiration. Feelings of regret, the unpredictable, lack of control in life, separation and loneliness are transformed into works that encapsulates these feelings in an easily approachable style. Her works are generally narrative based with an allegorical quality, ranging from playful to more sinister subject matter. Her titles are often humorous despite the dark imagery.

Printmaking is An Gee’s main outlet for expressing her ideas. Her printmaking works range from large scale painterly monoprint screen prints, child-like graphic paper cut outs that are then screen printed onto various materials to tiny detailed etchings. Having acquired a range of technical skills across her career, she also works fluidly between other disciplines - drawing, painting, ceramics and murals.
