Evelyn Tan

Bio

Evelyn Tan is a Vancouverite artist currently based in Los Angeles. Her works explore the deviations of identity in womanhood, pulling from dreams, memories, and fables. Despite growing up as an only child, she often portrays herself as fragmented “sister selves” alongside a compounding world of characters and symbols. These avatars augment pertinent character traits that she grapples with, positing them in an endless tail-chase for sovereignty. The resulting tableaux are at once ethereal and grotesque–meticulous displays of ironic and highly narrative scenarios.

Evelyn’s work has been exhibited across the US and internationally, including her first solo show at && Gallery in Los Angeles, a group show at La BEAST Gallery in Los Angeles, as well as shows in New York, Thailand, Seoul, Amsterdam, Melbourne, Vancouver, and Paris. She holds a BFA in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design.
