Zen Space features the work of BiJian Fan, an internationally recognized artist born in Beijing, China, and currently residing in Camarillo, California. His start in the arts world began in China, where he learned paper art from his grandmother. He still creates cutting-edge paper sculptures to carry on the tradition, but his use of media has expanded to include metal, polymer, and other materials.
In addition to being multi-cultural, having studied in China, Japan, and the USA, BiJian is also inter-disciplinary. He earned his BS and MS in Mathematics and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. After an accomplished career in biopharmaceutical research and development, BiJian moved on to visual art and education. He combines science and art, explores aesthetic and physical properties of various materials, transforms 2D static material into 3D kinetic sculptures. His spatial and temporal transformation represents an evolution in space and time.
You are invited to a free art reception on January 10 from 6 pm to 8 pm. Meet the artist, talk to others that are excited about art, and enjoy light appetizers and entertainment. It will be held
