About The Artwork

Eric Chan's latest body of work presents a selection of curious narratives. Neo-surrealist in nature, the woozy, dreamlike quality of the work suggests both inner and outer worlds on display, revealing seemingly mismatched storylines that flicker between present and past, reality and fantasy. Appropriated images layered on split panels combine with other of Chan's signature stylistic elements—blurred imagery, swelling flora, and always, a striving to go beyond representations of visual beauty and suggest moments of heightened emotions and experience more akin to the sublime. While Chan's works are often autobiographical, here his presence is felt only as narrator, enticing the viewer to partake in the subject's private stories and secret daydreams. However, as daydreams can serve as both happy distractions and as means of escape, Chan leaves each story's final plot up to the viewer.
