Meet the Senior in Residence for our Intergenerational Sharing Project, Jackson Chien, at this evening bilingual artist talk presented in English and Mandarin.
For more than 30 years, Jackson Chien worked as an artist & art educator in Taiwan before immigrating to Canada in the mid 2000s. His work is celebrated in Asia but like many immigrant elders, he had to give up his success when he moved to Canada. Join us as Chien shares his craft, life experiences, and travels. His talk also integrates traditional Chinese heritage and martial art concepts with art education.
Chien’s work encompasses a wide range of media, including oil painting, watercolor, pastel, ceramics, traditional printmaking, and mixed media. They reflect his deep exploration of Eastern philosophy and right-brain/spatial thinking, which he integrates into his interdisciplinary practice.
Drinks and snacks provided.
Free. Registration Required.
Our Intergenerational Sharing Project is made possible by the New Horizons for Seniors Program which grants funding for projects that make a difference 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.
歡迎參加本館的國語英語雙語藝術講座，您將見到我們跨年代傳承計劃的駐館長者簡志雄。
在 2000 年代中期移民加拿大之前，簡志雄在台灣從事藝術創作和藝術教育超過 30 年。他的作品在亞洲享有盛名，但和許多早期移民一樣，當他移居加拿大時，不得不放棄他過往的成功。歡迎加入我們的行列，聆聽簡志雄分享他的藝術人生、生活經驗和旅行經歷。他的講座也將結合中華傳統文化和武術概念與藝術教育。
簡志雄的作品涵蓋廣泛的表現形式，包括油畫、水彩、粉彩、陶瓷、傳統版畫以及多種方式混合。這些作品反映了他對東方哲學和右腦/空間思維的深入探索，並將其融入跨領域的創作實踐中。
本館届时將提供飲料和零食。
我們的跨年代傳承計劃是由 New Horizons for Seniors Program所贊助，該機構提供資金給能夠傳承長者文化及改善社區生活的項目。簡志雄目前正在進行一項跨年代藝術項目，我們很高興能與他合作，將他的傳統藝術技巧和故事傳承給新的一代。
