Focus on: Ada Chen
Johnny Patramanis
Ada has this curiosity that you can find in a student as she likes to experiment through her subjects, painting children, adults and animals. She uses everyday sceneries as her main focus trying to capture the moment like a photographer would do, playing with the details that she wants us to see. She is a really well balanced artist with a drive for knowledge.

The first thing I notice in Ada’s watercolours is that even though she is clearly a figurative artist she is not restricted to portraiture, her themes include everyday scenes, faces, animals. However, what is very noticeably a common feature among them is that in each painting she seems to focus her interest and give more detail to a specific part of her composition like the expression in the eyes or the positioning of the hands. I believe this is her way of showing to us what part of the scene she finds beautiful therefore giving the viewer a glimpse into her perspective of the world around her.
We both think that
Given the fact that she is still a student, she’s already very active and motivated to show her work despite the hard times of the pandemic. Ada is an artist that shows promise and we want to see her future work as she progresses in her artistic career.
