Chan is Hong Kong born and Nebraska bred, and his work is predicated
on the idea that space for something new can be created by juxtaposing opposites: his drawings and doublesided video projections evince an equal pull to Adorno and to über - outsider Henry Darger, to the Bible and to Sade, to Beckett and to hip -
hop, and while Chan remains faithful to old - fashioned
charcoal drawing, he enjoys a simultaneous love affair with digital rendering and manipulation.
