Nocturne is a love letter to the urban landscapes of Victoria BC.
In this limited series, artist Chrystal Phan captures the quiet moments of bus stops and door fronts with minimal but rich and thoughtful brushwork in oil on canvas.
Chrystal Phan’s work focuses on large-scale genre paintings that merge childhood memories, family histories, and everyday experiences to explore stories of contemporary Canadian life as a second-generation Canadian.
Since starting her professional practice in 2019 she has received the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant and was named runner-up in The Kingston Prize competition with honorable mention.
