Check out this video of Howie Tsui being interviewed by Sarah Tue-Fee. Sarah is a student in the visual arts department at University of Ottawa who also happens to do awesome interviews! So be sure to check out the video.
Here's a snippet from Howie's website. Ho Yan (Howie) Tsui is a Canadian visual artist based in Ottawa. Born in Hong Kong (1978) and raised in Nigeria and Thunder Bay, he holds an Honours BFA in painting from the University of Waterloo (2002). His recent project, "Horror Fables", uses imagery from traditional Asian ghost tales, Buddhist hell scrolls, ancient bestiaries, Hong Kong vampire films and the Sino-Japanese War to satirize the climate of fear in contemporary culture. In 2005, he was awarded the Joseph S. Stauffer Prize from the Canada Council for the Arts for most outstanding young visual artist. His work is held by the Canada Council Art Bank, Le Centre d'exposition de Baie-Saint-Paul and the City of Ottawa. "Horror Fables" has been exhibited at Carleton University Art Gallery (Ottawa), Ace Art Inc (Winnipeg), the West Vancouver Museum, the Ottawa Art Gallery, and MAI (Montréal, arts intercultural), with an upcoming show at Centre A (Vancouver). His work has appeared in Beautiful/Decay, Border Crossings, Color Magazine and Mix Magazine.
