Intergenerational Sharing Project Open Studio: Jackson Chien
Friday, November 29, 2024
Stop by the museum to visit Jackson Chien, the Senior in Residence for our Intergenerational Sharing Project. View his work which integrates Chinese heritage with visual art education, learn about his traditional techniques, and have a chat.
Chien’s work encompasses a wide range of media, including oil painting, watercolor, pastel, ceramics, traditional printmaking, and mixed media. His works reflect his deep exploration of Eastern philosophy and right-brain/spatial thinking, which he integrates into his interdisciplinary practice. His watercolor piece House earned third place in Taiwan’s 7th National Fine Art Exhibition in 1974 and was collected by the National Art Education Hall. In 1979, his work The Lane with Sunshine won first place at the Taipei Teacher’s Fine Art Exhibition, and his printmaking Many Houses received a Bronze Medal at Japan's International New Printmaking Exhibition in 1993.
Free. No Registration Required.
Our Intergenerational Sharing Project is made possible by the New Horizons for Seniors Program which grants funding for projects that make a different in the lives of seniors and their communities. Jackson Chien is currently working on an ongoing intergenerational art project and we are excited to be working with him to pass along his heritage art techniques and stories to a new generation.
