Suki was born in Hong Kong and lives and works in London. Chan graduated from Goldsmiths in 1999 and completed an MA in Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art in 2008. Her recent solo shows include Sleep Walk Sleep Talk, a major video installation commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella, and Interval II, commissioned by the Chinese Arts Centre, supported by Film London.
Chan has been included in several group shows in the UK, including Futuremap, David Roberts Art Foundation, London and Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art. She has also shown work internationally in Spain, USA, Singapore and China.
In 2009, Chan was selected as one of six young British artists by Charles Saatchi to take part in the BBC’s School of Saatchi. Most recently, she curated a moving image show for the Jerwood Space in 2010.
Chan’s work is included in public and private collections including David Roberts Art Foundation, the Ingram Collection, London and The Celebrity Art Collection on The Solstice.
“Suki Chan’s art makes us wonder in more ways than one. It enables us to treasure the wonder of the world through daring to suggest the dreadful cost of the loss of such wonderful phenomena.”
