Chrystal Phan: Once for a While
Opening: Friday Jan 21 @ 5:00 with Artist Talk at 5:30
Chrystal Phan is a storyteller. The tales she tells in her debut solo exhibition are monumental and multi-hued. They feature stories she’s heard from family and friends, embellished by her own imagination. All her paintings document some aspect of the Vietnamese-Canadian immigration experience. In Once for a While she acts as a stage director. On canvases up to 6 by 8 feet she arranges her cast of characters. The actors are captured in everyday scenarios such as camping, biking and sharing food.
