Kai-lan (Karen) Chau "Inner Dialogue"
Sloan Fine Art
This event has ended.
As creator of the wildly popular animated children’s show “Ni Hao, Kai-Lan,” Karen Chau has been delighting viewers (and their parents) with her enchanting artwork and childhood memories for three years. What many people don’t know is that Karen has been creating personal artwork, under her Chinese name Kai-lan Chau, for much longer. These works, executed with Chau’s signature super-flat, colorful style, are edgier, revealing a slightly twisted sense of humor. Yet even as a panda imagines bacon while chatting with a pig and bats float overhead tethered in a kind of bat prison, the overall energy and message of Chau’s work remains infectiously upbeat.
For Inner Dialogue, the artist will produce twenty limited edition prints on paper, three extremely limited edition canvas prints and two limited edition fiberglass sculptures. All proceeds from the sales of one of the print editions will be split between two well deserving charities – Families with Children from China (fwcc.org) and City Critters Rescue (citycritters.org).
