May Chan's Artist Statement:

Lively, colourful, always cheerful with crazy abundant loud energy. That's just one side of me.
The other side is darker, moodier, more serious-er. I suppose it’s the Jekyll and Hyde syndrome.

On the darker side of the moon, my work is either monotone or in black and white. For some reason, this is mostly expressed in commercial artwork.

On sunny days, my work is bright, bubbly, joyful, and jubilant. Kawaii muffins, Kute kaijus,
two-legged fish, weird and wonderful three eyed cats all spontaneously pop into existence
while I float on a rainbow cloud made of candy and cane and everything nice.

That’s not to say one work is better than the other. Each piece is precious. Each piece a beautiful memory of life in the city, at the beaches, being bored at traffic jams, of furious scribbles in art schools, mad holidays with the family, and lazy afternoons with my favouritest people.

I collect emotions and pour them into my art. I look and wonder, “What if?”, “Why did I?”,
“Why didn’t I?”, “Why would I?” and then I draw some more, and create some more.
