“Inside the Mind of Tommy Chan”
October 18, 2025-January 2026
Opening reception: Oct. 18, 3-7pm
Meet the artist and enjoy refreshments plus live music by students of the New York School of Music.
Step inside the ethereal imagination of celebrated painter Tommy Chan during an upcoming exhibit, “Inside the Mind of Tommy Chan” featuring a collection of the 74-year-old artist’s works spanning the decades of his career.
Known for his impressionist and sometimes-surreal depictions of women and natural landscapes, Chan’s creations are an enchanting blend of history, heritage, and storytelling. Women emerge as a central theme in his work, portrayed as beautiful and captivating, with subtle strength, heavily influenced by loving relationships with his wife, mother, and sisters.
Chan’s landscapes are infused with elements of nature defined by carefree motion and effortless flow: birds in flight, trees swaying in the breeze, streams in motion, and the steadfast forms of mountains and boulders. Through his signature use of blue and purple hues, Chan creates boundless fluidity within his art, evoking a sense of contemplative calm; you can sense the influence Monet has had on his work.
