I’m Jean Huang, a Taiwan-born visual artist living in Vancouver. I work mainly in oil and gouache, painting children with porcelain-like skin and a quiet, slightly surreal presence. My scenes often look gentle at first glance, but there’s always a small twist hidden inside — something tender, something uneasy.

I grew up in Taiwan, later completed my MFA at Tufts University, and eventually settled in Canada. Moving through different cultures and roles shaped how I look at childhood and adulthood. Being an educator and a mother made me pay closer attention to the way children build their own logic, while adults keep pretending they already understand theirs.

My inspirations come from small memories, family tensions, and the odd details in everyday life. I’m influenced by Yoshitomo Nara’s raw honesty and the loneliness in his figures, as well as Mark Ryden’s polished, uncanny worlds. Their work reminds me that softness and strangeness can sit side by side, and that a painting doesn’t need to explain itself to feel true.

In my studio, I start with a thin wash to set the mood, then build the surface slowly with transparent layers. I spend time shaping gestures and expressions until they feel alive but still a little unreal. I do sketch digitally always, but the real decisions only happen on the canvas.

What I hope to share through these children is a quiet kind of recognition. Most of us carry something unresolved from childhood, even if we don’t talk about it. My paintings stay quiet, but they don’t stay polite.

When I’m not painting, I’m usually observing the children I work with — their stubbornness, logic, chaos, and sudden tenderness. They give me more ideas than they realize.

我是 Jean Huang，一位來自台灣、現居溫哥華的視覺藝術家。我主要使用油畫與廣告顏料，描繪帶著瓷質肌理、安靜而略帶超現實氣息的孩子。這些場景乍看溫柔，但總藏著一點微妙的轉折——有時是柔軟，有時是不安。

我在台灣長大，之後於塔夫茨大學完成 MFA，最後定居加拿大。在不同文化與身分之間流動的經驗，深刻影響了我對童年與成年世界的看法。作為教育者與母親，我更常注意到：孩子正在努力建立自己的邏輯，而大人則總是假裝自己早已理解一切。

我的靈感來自細碎的記憶、家庭關係的張力，以及日常生活裡那些奇怪的小細節。我受到奈良美智筆下坦率孤獨感的啟發，也受到 Mark Ryden 那種精緻又詭異的世界吸引。他們提醒我，柔軟與怪異可以並存，而畫不需要把自己說明得清清楚楚，也能令人信服。

在工作室裡，我會先以薄層染底去定調，再慢慢以透明層堆疊形體。我花很多時間調整姿態與表情，直到它們既像活著、又仍然帶著一點不真實。我常用數位草圖，但真正的決定永遠是在畫布上發生。

我希望透過這些孩子帶出一種安靜的認可。我們大多帶著某些童年沒解開的東西，只是沒有說出口。我的畫作保持安靜，但從不刻意禮貌。

不畫畫的時候，我大多在觀察我所接觸的孩子——他們的固執、邏輯、混亂和突如其來的溫柔。他們給我的啟發比他們自己知道的更多。
