Vinyl Ink Paintings by Joe Chang
June 23 – August 29, 2025
Art Beatus (Vancouver) Consultancy Ltd. is very pleased to present awarding-winning animation director and writer, artist, and educator, Joe Chang, in a gallery and online solo exhibition of vinyl ink paintings, In the Company of Nature.
The majority of the vinyl paintings in this exhibition is selected from Chang‘s “Dog Walker” series that began in 2024. According to the artist, “In the city I live in, in my neighbourhood and in the apartment I live in, I often see dogs and dog lovers and families, and they are everywhere.” Chang has curiously observed in this ubiquitous demographic the emotional interactions between humans and canines. Whether the dog owners are casual joggers or chic fashionistas, the artist has tried to convey in these vinyl ink paintings this seemingly natural affinity that people have towards their beloved dogs.
Joe Chang was born in Shenyang, China and currently lives and works in Vancouver, Canada. Before moving to Canada in 1990 and working for the National Film Board of Canada as an animation director, Chang earned a Bachelor of Arts in Printmaking at Lu-Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang, China and a Master of Fine Arts at Tama Art University in Tokyo, Japan. Chang has written and directed several animated films and has exhibited his films and artwork in numerous film festivals and galleries around the world.
