May Chan's Artist Statement:    

Lively, colourful, always cheerful with crazy abundant loud energy.  That's just one side of me. 

The other side is darker, moodier, more serious-er. I suppose it’s the  Jekyll and Hyde syndrome.     

On the darker side of the moon, my work is either monotone or in black  and white. For some reason, this is mostly expressed in commercial  artwork. 

On sunny days, my work is bright, bubbly, joyful, and jubilant. Kawaii  muffins, Kute kaijus,  two-legged fish, weird and wonderful three eyed cats all spontaneously  pop into existence  while I float on a rainbow cloud made of candy and cane and everything  nice.     

That’s not to say one work is better than the other. Each piece is  precious. Each piece a beautiful memory of life in the city, at the  beaches, being bored at traffic jams, of furious scribbles in art  schools, mad holidays with the family, and lazy afternoons with my  favouritest people.    

I collect emotions and pour them into my art. I look and wonder, “What  if?”, “Why did I?”,  “Why didn’t I?”, “Why would I?” and then I draw some more, and create  some more.
