'I’ve always enjoyed that aspect of contemporary art — the conversation and the dialogue that comes out of it. I enjoy that much more than the process or the motive.'
Ethan Chan is a hoarder. He admits it. He even goes so far to say that he thinks hoarders get a bad rap. “I feel like that’s a very important mentality to have,” Chan said. “I’ve always thought that the best artists were hoarders to some degree.” It’s easy to see what he means. The items, trinkets and the everyday objects that he collects will find their way into his work, resulting in fun and fantastical installation works that have been popping up in galleries all over town.
After the friend rejected the gift, Chan decided to make a Santa Claus costume entirely constructed from ketchup, soy sauce, mustard and malt vinegar packets. “I wanted to make a fat suit out of literal fat,” said Chan, who later constructed Darth Vader and Cowboy costume using other packets. “It was kind of my big break and led to my first show with Quint Gallery. I feel like a lot of the really fun ideas I’ve had, some of my favorite work, have been spur-of-the-moment stuff like that.
