Today we get to have a deep conversation with Gigi Chen, an artist and painter based in New York City.

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 Old Masters. Entrenched in the art of storytelling, the work pulls together her love of 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's exhibition credits include Stone Sparrow Gallery, Superfine! Art Fair, Deep Space Gallery and Antler Gallery.
