Visiting the studio of artist Chin Yuen, maximalist painter based in Canada

ArtXchange Gallery presents Elevation, a solo exhibition featuring maximalist painter Chin Yuen. With vibrant colors and expressive movement, Yuen creates uplifting and dynamic compositions. Contrasting hues, shapes, and textures are layered in dense, undulating patterns, creating abstracted landscapes and sinuous forms that challenge the conventions of composition and balance.
