Step inside the studio of painter Yan Wen Chang, where dream, memory, and pain collide on canvas. Her exhibition Gillian with a G is a portrait of contradictions, balancing joy and despair, intimacy and distance, all layered in paint. Each brushstroke reveals a self both familiar and strange, pulling us deeper into the mystery of her work.
The CBC Arts series In Process takes audiences inside the artist’s workspace to see what some of Canada’s most exciting talents are busy making.
