Jasmine Chen

R.B. Kitaj defined a diasporist artist as someone who lives and paints in two societies at the same time. The unsettled nature of a diasporist's existence is an important source of inspiration for my art. For the immigrant, the ocean no longer establishes a definitive barrier. The internet, for instance, enables a constant partial exposure to people and places from the past. Memory and imagination are both fed and interrupted by this, and accounting for one’s origins and place can be more problematic than ever. These works respond to this condition.
