![]() ![]() Pan’s Eastern sensibility and affinity for Western abstraction Is beautifully encapsulated in Morning Floral. ![]() Vacillating between botanical representation and abstraction, the artist’s dense compositions and bold repetitive marks is the synthesis of an Eastern interpretation of the Canadian landscape that she lives in. Incorporating tight mark-marking with textured, sharp brushstrokes, the artist paints to the edge of the canvas utilizing a vivid color palette – from sunflower yellows to cobalt blues. Working with no definitive plan and guided by her emotions, Pan leads with color, exploring the range of possibility offered by her paints. Applying gestural brush strokes intuitively and instinctively, Pan seeks to reinvigorate and reimagine the genre, her aesthetic intention being “the discovery of an unexpectedly lyrical, romantic and poetic world through the language of abstraction.” Improvising with a range of colors and processes, both the canvas and the artist are transformed and brought to a kind of utopian Eden as these enchanting, lush garden-scapes take shape. Inspiration for this series comes from a poem by 5th Century Chinese poet Tao Yuanmin, entitled The Peach Blossom Spring, a fable about a chance discovery of an ethereal perfect world. Her works of intense chromatic lyricism are vibrant and visionary, informed by the artist’s deep-seated knowledge of Eastern and Western art history. ![]() In the 12 oil paintings on canvas and linen presented, Pan reveals her inner self to radiate moods, emotional states, and thoughts on painting. VISIONS OF EDEN takes a more pointed approach to the abstract landscapes that have defined Pan’s practice for the past 10 years. The official opening is Saturday, Septemfrom 10:00 am - 5:00 pm. This exhibition marks the artist's fifth solo exhibition with MJFA and will be on view from September 11 - October 24, 2020.
