Christian J Hansen is an American artist who has been living in Taiwan since 2010. He is currently working on my MFA at Taipei National University of the Arts. He held his first art show in kindergarten, when he made animal sculptures out of newspaper, egg cartons, and anything else he could find. He made tickets for his classmates but, after his mom told him he couldn’t invite them, he invited his family instead. In high school, he entered one of his paintings into a class exhibition, but it was politely rejected. He takes imagery from variety visual traditions and mixes them with classical themes in modern settings.
2 October 2016, Visual Dialogues XI Charity Art Event 慈善油畫聯名展
Opening Reception: Sunday, October 2 at 2:30 PM – 5:30 PM
Red Room & CBTA (Childhood Brain Tumor Association of Taiwan) would like to invite you to the opening of their charity art event, featuring over 14 artists. They will be donating their art for the cause.
Caridee Chou: “My sister was diagnosed with a brain tumor and during her treatment, she felt that art was a great healer. She discovered that painting helped her through this difficult period.”
This is where the idea originated to hold a charity art show to help other children who are suffering from similar situation. We wish for each child to experience the joy of a happy and healthy childhood.
Donations will go to Childhood Brain Tumor Association of Taiwan (CBTA).
The mission of the CBTA is to improve quality of life and the long term outlook for children with brain tumors from newly diagnosed to survivorship or end of life.
