Canal Cheong-Jagerroos (張 彤 茹) / Visual Artist
Canal Cheong Jagerroos (b.1968) is a Chinese contemporary visual artist who grew up in an artistic family in Macau. She works between Helsinki, Nice and Berlin.
As far back as Canal can remember, at the time other children her age were playing with crayons, her father taught her the fundamentals of Chinese ink brush painting. In many ways, Canal’s father teaching has strongly influenced her journey to find artistic expression.
Canal has lived and worked for 25 years in numerous countries from Asia to Europe and Africa. She is currently living with her family in Finland. The unique experience of having lived in such culturally diverse places, namely; Hong Kong, Shanghai, France, Switzerland, Italy, Senegal and Finland has influenced her work greatly whether consciously or subconsciously. Canal has discovered that walking the line between the east and west, facing different cultures, can be both constructive and destructive, but always inspirational.
Canal Cheong Jagerroos is the co-founder of the ongoing art project ‘Blue and Red’ which will be showing in numerous museums in China and Finland from 2018 - 2020.
