Evelyn Chan
Evelyn Chan is a Sydney-based contemporary ink and calligraphy artist. Working primarily with sumi ink on xuan paper, she draws on the movement of Chinese semi-cursive (行書) and cursive (草書) scripts to explore how people relate to and depend on one another.
In her work, meaning comes from the character, the gesture of the brush and the space around each stroke. The interplay of movement and stillness, tension and release, gives each piece its emotional tone. Drawn from lived experience and quiet observation, her works invite viewers to pause and find their own resonance in the marks.
What matters deserves a little space
The space between marks is part of the work. In daily life, a little space can help us notice what we value and make time for the people who matter.
FreeQuarter Art
FreeQuarter Art is a creative concept that extends Evelyn’s practice into everyday life through One Word, One World calligraphy art cards and fine art prints of her original works. Future creative experiences are also part of the idea.
