«Banana est un portrait de la figure du Chinois américain, illustrant la façon dont l’idéalisation de biens culturels et d’associations superficielles peut servir de substitut à la tradition dans la quête d’un sentiment d’appartenance.» - JLC
James Lee Chiahan was born in Tainan, Taiwan and is currently working as a visual artist in Montréal, Canada. Interested in capturing moments representative of everyday life that explore the relationship between memory and experience, closeness and distance, James works to create images that are emotionally affecting but difficult to place into words. Some of his clients include Apple, The New York Times, and The Walrus. Working with Bryan Beyung, James just unveiled a large mural (60 x 20 feet) celebrating Chinese-Canadian culture on the wall of Poincaré in Montreal's Chinatown.
