Ash J.B. Chen was born in Los Angeles and received her BA in Studio Art from the University of California, Irvine. Her work investigates the temporal and fragmentary nature of memory. Manipulating positive and negative space and creating a juxtaposition of presence and absence, she critically confronts the painting process as the formation of a trace. She uses repetition and tropes to explicate the phenomenon of recollection and question the authenticity of memory.
