Recent Paintings
Sep - Oct, 2003

A Woman's Life:
the art of Yu Hong
curated by Marian Mazzone
May - Jun, 2003
online exhibition »
Yu Hong is a contemporary Chinese artist who finds poetry in the everyday. She exhibits rich technical skills as a painter, rendering figures with endearing expression and verve. She mastered these skills as a student in the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. As she has matured as an artist, Yu Hong has fine-tuned her skills of observation, and is extremely sensitive to both facial expression and body posture.

online exhibition »
This exhibition featured 54 watercolors by Zelda, which depicted not only aspects of the Fitzgeralds' fast-paced lifestyle, but drew heavily from literary tradition. This show also included a selection of her delicate paper doll constructions.

Tim Hussey & Tom Stanley
Jan - Feb, 2003
Hussey gallery »
Stanley Gallery »
