Christian Vistan​

​

Christian Vistan is an artist and curator originally from the peninsula now known as Bataan, Philippines, living and working on Musqueam, Squamish, Tsawwassen and Tsleil-Waututh territories, colonially known as Vancouver and Delta, British Columbia. In their artworks, they translate experiences of distance and diaspora into hybrid forms that fold together various elements, including memory, place, poetry, and abstraction among others. They are particularly interested in thinking about and working with water as a material in painting and in personal, familial and migrant histories. They make paintings, texts, and exhibitions, and often collaborate with other artists, writers, and curators. Their artworks and curatorial projects have been presented in Canada, US and the Philippines. They run and co-curate dreams comma delta, a room for artist projects and exhibitions located inside their family home in Delta, BC with Aubin Soo K. They received their BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in 2017.
