Tinyan Chan (b. China) is a painter whose work bridges Eastern and Western traditions through a confident fusion of colour, movement, and light. At a young age, he was trained at the Wuhan South Central China Academy of Fine Arts and was later admitted to the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. With his experience in China and France, which embraced both ancient and modern Impressionist abstract and contemporary works of arts, he became confident in creating his own style of art work. Since immigrating to Canada in 1968, Chan has developed a distinctive style—bold, expressive, and deeply attuned to nature’s changing seasons.
