Opening reception Sat, Dec 10, 4-6pm, Exhibition December 10 - January 21, 2017, Tu, W, F, Sa 10am-5:30pm, Th 11am-7pm
Crystal Liu constructs landscapes that are metaphors for her emotional states. In large-scale paintings that incorporate her marbleized paper along with watercolor & metallic pigments, the fundamental elements of earth & sky enact narratives of conflict, entrapment, longing, & precarious hope.
There are echoes of the tradition of Chinese ink brush painting in the marbleized ink & distillation of line, form & color into evocative depictions of stone, mountain ranges, & cross-sections of earth. Metallic gold pigment provides a stark contrast in the form of a moon & stars, which become the protagonists in an epic odyssey of faith & tenacity against the daunting forces of reality.
