Learn how family and home became the central subjects of Elle Chae's painting.
About this event
Join us on Tuesday, June 22 at 1 pm for this free presentation with Elle Chae, an artist who paints family and home. A Zoom link will be emailed to you the day before the event.
Growing up and living in South Korea and in Fiji, and then moving to Canada, her experience of family division and isolation as an immigrant brought her to seek a sense of unity, belonging, and acceptance. Hence, family and home became the central subjects of her painting.
She is fascinated by the dynamic of family relationships and its influence on the sense of home that is unique to individuals. Considering the family as the place where we experience and understand the raw, honest forms of human nature, she pays close attention to her personal memories and also the stories of other families.
This presentation will introduce some of her newest works and works in progress entitled, “Family Portrait: Exploring The Concept of Home and Its Implications for Self.”
