Karen Kar Yen Law: RBC Emerging Artist in Residence Exhibition
February 25, 2025 – April 19, 2025
Curated by Hannah Keating
During her residency, Karen Kar Yen Law will develop a new body of work within her ongoing artistic exploration of the five essential flavours of Chinese cuisine (salty, spicy, sour, sweet, and bitter). Focusing her research at the RMG on bitterness, Karen will create new paintings inspired by the unique flavour profile of the bitter melon. Drawing on a variety of painting and printmaking techniques, she will consider how bitterness relates to Chinese culinary traditions, experiences of diaspora and diasporic identities, and intergenerational relationships.
