JC is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. His work explores the ongoing internal dialogue he experiences in defining his cultural and social identity.
Australian born with mixed Asian and Caucasian ancestry, his blended heritage coupled with his queerness, creates an internal tension. This tension fuels a perpetual cycle of questioning and redefining his identity, which often leads to a heightened sense of otherness and ambiguity.
Heavily influenced by Abstract Expressionism, Maximalism, and his cultural heritage, JC’s introspective process is translated through his art using personal and cultural symbolism, dynamic mark-making, and a bold use of colour.
JC earned his Bachelor of Fine Art from the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne, and studied graphic design at RMIT University.
