About The Artist

Jacky Tsai is a multimedia Chinese artist based in London. Spanning from traditional canvas to NFT real-time based digitals, Tsai’s artworks integrate Eastern ideology and cultural symbols with Western Pop art icons and motifs, creating alternative narratives and realities by constantly reflecting on ours. Through unifying the differences and similarities between cultures, Tsai’s works provoke viewers to rethink intercultural relationships and aim to establish tension as well as harmony between cultural representations.

Many of his works explore classical Chinese artistry, enabling his works to bring focus onto the exquisite yet forsaken craftsmanship. These various mediums act as devices to present his work in past, present and future tenses, emphasising the residue of time.
