In complete contrast to the fervor of the feminist movement and the popularity of The Feminine Mystique, Janiz Chan’s latest repertoire of paintings represents similes, metaphors, and a figurative language of forgotten impressions, beckoning and returning to our recollection, familiar memories that pass over the modern world like a warm caress. The artist also amuses our olfactory senses and invites such a variety of symbolic attachments. In her series of evocative paintings, Chan renders representations of various cultural associations of women, of varying age enveloped by our own sense of femininity, as well as in association with blossoms.

Despite all that is said to liberate women from the distresses and cultural limitations of their own gender, it is still undeniably agreed that an aura of fascination often emanate from women who truly possess traits of certain femininity, exuding grace, charm and a magnetism which can render them so inexplicably captivating, and irresistible. Please join us to explore the mystery of these alluring traits that the artist Janiz Chan desires to explore in her latest collection, entitled Tease.
