Brian Jiang is a queer non-binary artist and illustrator of Chinese descent based in Toronto. Their practice comprises of drawing, painting, illustration, sequential narrative, and animation.

Their recent work is often playful in tone, with content that usually comprises of ambiguous characters, fantastical scenarios, and lush flora.

They are drawn to unconventional colour palettes that are simultaneously discordant yet visually satisfying. Brian’s work references the formal qualities of folk art, 60’s Japanese Graphic design, Fauvism and Surrealism. They graduated OCADU in 2020, holding a Bachelor's of Design in Illustration.
