Meet the Artist
Gigi Chen’s work creates an aesthetic that combines her training as a traditional animator and painter, along with her love of the techniques of the old masters. Entrenched in the art of storytelling, Gigi pulls together contemporary idioms of cartooning, photo-realism, texture, and design to produce works that coalesce into “love, craft, and fun.”
Born in Guang Dong, China and raised in New York, Gigi has extensively exhibited her work in respected public institutions and art galleries. Her exhibition credits include the Queens Museum of Art, Superfine Art Fair and Deep Space Gallery, and Stone Sparrow Gallery. Learn more at gigichen.com.
