Posting online under the pseudonym S0Lrius, rising artist and designer Sally Chen is a second-gen immigrant who works across a wide range of media, depicting reimagined, surreal moments with a whimsical spin. From traditional acrylic paintings to digital drawings, Sally zooms her lenses on minuscule moments and objects in life and repositions them into imaginative scenes. In her traditional works, she reimagines the “what-ifs” by reanimating still life or abstract objects and concepts to convey irony or denote an observation. The surreal compositions serve as her invitation for the audience to ponder on the artwork's narrative and extract an experience of their own. While designing, she opts for a more whimsical approach, thinking outside the box (sometimes literally) and creating pieces that are appealing on a gestalt level and conceal more interesting details when broken down. Sally's works reflect her belief in conveying my thoughts blatantly and clearly with engaging visuals. This concept is manifested in her front-and-center depiction of the main subjects and their actions in her traditional works. Whereas her digital designs never shy away from utilizing quirky, conspicuous elements to assert their effect on the viewer. Art is the byproduct of one's experience and perceived world that seeps into the gaps of daydreams and intrusive thoughts, and Sally found it to be an honor that you're here to see hers.
