Jason Chen
“Creativity is to make something new; it's to rebuild something old in a new way; it's to approach problems with a new perspective. Creativity does not mean productivity, we often think creativity means making art, but I believe appreciating art in your own perspective is also creativity.“
Jason Chen, originally from Guangzhou, China, is a photographer specializing in fashion, editorial, and alternative process photography. After he received his BFA in Animation from the University of the Arts in 2008, he co-founded Paradigm Gallery + Studio and Juggling Wolf.
In 2012, Jason shifted his dry plate tintypes practice to photo weaving. He began using two images taken within seconds of each other, then cut and wove them together. Because of his background in film and animation, Jason explores ways to incorporate the “Fourth Dimension” - Time - into his work. Photo weaving allows him to do this by exploring movement and mutation. His goal is to fulfill his personal passion while helping others achieve theirs.
