Intergenerational Sharing Project Open Studio: Jackson Chien – Coquitlam Heritage Society

Stop by the museum between 3pm-6pm 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 (「屋」) earned third place in Taiwan’s 7th National Fine Art Exhibition (全國美展) in 1974 and was collected by the National Art Education Hall (國立台灣藝術教育館). In 1979, his work The Lane with Sunshine (「陽光小徑」) won first place at the Taipei Teacher’s Fine Art Exhibition (台北市教師美展), and his printmaking Many Houses (「多房子」) received a Bronze Medal at Japan’s International New Printmaking Exhibition (日本國際新孔版畫展) 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.
