Gavin Chai on the Creative Matters Podcast

Gavin Chai recently visited Creative Matters host, Mandy Jakich to record a podcast episode.

"We talk about how his sense of belonging and home is often recreated in his paintings, perhaps as a reaction to moving countries from Malaysia to NZ at the age of 14. He shares insights into his partly autobiographical Interior series which depicts everyday domestic life and his Strange Paradise series which has more of a dreamlike surreal feel. We talk about the way he sometimes makes his own paint using powdered pigments and linseed oil, how he has thought of himself as an artist since he was a boy, his perception of dealer gallerist and artist relationships and he speaks about his upcoming solo show at Föenander Galleries in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and some of the major works in his show."
