Everything That Stays I, II, and III

2025 | Acrylic paint and ink on canvas

"The color red has always been a hue I've shied away from. It's a color that is symbolic of so many different things in different cultures - power, human vulnerability, and love. My art practice has recently taken a shift towards saturation, building layer upon layer of transparency and marks until there is a whole visual universe to dive into. The red canvases born from this new methodology of painting are an ode to the enormity of motherhood and the legacy that forms from the endless love and devotion that mothers pour into those they care for." - Christina Kwan

Winter Park, Florida

Christina Kwan is an Atlanta-based artist known for her abstract works on canvas, paper, and large scale murals. Originally from South Florida, Kwan moved to Atlanta in 2010 after graduating from University of Florida with a BFA in Drawing. A decade and many different career paths later, the work she creates is an ongoing exploration of her Asian-American identity and the internal struggle of feeling incomplete or existing in-between. Kwan's work has been shown in a variety of commercial galleries and academic institutions while her murals span across the country. Her compositions feature bold and calligraphic brush strokes inspired by her heritage, acting as a yearning for permanence and a search for wholeness.
