"ROCK ON" shows the performance of a rock musican on stage: observing the artwork, we seem to perceive the rhythm, the movement and the sound The concept is rendered through an element like water, in its most imposing, impetuous and destructive version: the wave. "HIGHER GROUND" takes on a more abstract role, showing a different world we can see with our mind’s eyes. An alternation between more smoky halos and more defined lines and squares characterizes the artwork, with colors ranging from pink to blue, using black to emphasize some shapes. "COME AWAY WITH ME" shows the invitation to a higher stage. It looks like an invitation, framed in a postcard that, under the colorful hexagons, reveals a beautiful seascape. The water that arrives on the shore of the beach breaks the artwork, with a frothy, oblique line, as if it were coming out of its extraordinary half to get to the other half and break the patterns The circle closes with a break, the most unforgettable, the most painful, depicting the hurt inside from the lost of one’s 1st love. "D 1ST CUT" comes with colors that reflect those of our anatomy and subjects that look like arteries. The artist Justin Chan manages to present six works linked to a common thread: the emergence of something - joyful, unexpected, painful, powerful, angry, harmonious - that will never be able to leave us indifferent.
