Biography/Artist Statement
조슬린 차이 (b.1992)는 대만에서 태어나 상하이에서 자랐다. School of Visual Arts에서 그래픽 디자인 학사 학위를 받고 현재 캘리포니아에서 활동하는 그녀는 작가, 일러스트레이터, 벽화로서. 작가는 다양한 매체를 활용하여 작업을 하지만, 작품 전반에 걸쳐 연결되는 실마리는 비정형적인 생명체의 묘사이다.
해당 생명체는 어릴적부터 다양한 문화와 환경 속에서 자라온 작가의 "in-between" 버전이며, 자신을 그 캐릭터 속에 대입시켜 자유로운 작가 자신을 드러낸다.
Jocelyn Tsaih (b. 1992) is a Taiwan-born, Shanghai-raised artist. She received her BFA in Graphic Design at the School of Visual Arts. She is a painter, illustrator, and muralist. Though she works in various mediums, the connecting thread throughout her work is her depiction of amorphous figures. Often portrayed in abstracted, liminal spaces, she aims to touch on the emotions as well as the otherworldliness of our human experience.
The figures in Tsaih's work act as extensions of herself. As someone who grew up between multiple cultures and worlds, she's created her own version of the "in-between". This is where the figures, and herself, are free to just be. She utilizes color, form, and composition to create images that convey strong moods, possibility for curiosity, and space for introspection.
