Statement
Angela Han is a Chinese-American artist, musician, and educator who creates art inspired by music and mythology. She weaves together diverse elements from Asian lore and herstory in a process of contemporary myth-making to assemble new narratives that celebrate the courage and creativity of women. Her paintings feature speculative worlds influenced by these narratives and showcase vibrant colors, thickly layered paint, intricate details etched by color shapers, and “lyrical” compositions. Han’s work has been exhibited throughout the Bay Area, including at Arc Studios & Gallery, Bass & Reiner Gallery, International Hotel Manilatown Center, Sanchez Art Center, SOMArts Cultural Center, and Voss Gallery. She is a recipient of the San Francisco Artist Grant from the San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) and is an alum of YoungArts as well as Clinton Global Initiative University. She graduated cum laude from Cornell University with a BA in Music and Psychology.
