ABOUT THE ARTIST
Artist Yuni Lee explores the relationships between humanity and nature in her upcoming solo exhibition, ‘Space/Time…Continuum’. By drawing inspiration from organic forms in our environment and juxtaposing them with man-made mechanical structures, Lee captures the essence of humanity’s interactions with the Earth. Her application of traditional painting techniques intertwined with rhythmic usage of mixed media further accentuate the beautiful, complex affair with the natural world.
“My Inspiration is in seeking to elaborate between the link of humanity and nature. In translating the familiar and strange of the elegant patterns around us, as well describe my thoughts on environmental consciousness, I chose natural paradigms: flowers, tree, leaves, fruit, and animals; I contrast that with human made structures, machinery, technology, etc. In juxtaposing the themes and shapes organically and rhythmically using recycles mixed media as well as traditional painting techniques, my goal is to create those discrete moments that is our humanity and place in the natural world. In understanding that the human influence on the environment is as much a part of nature as is what is also born from the earth, we can find balance in our habits, our perception and beauty in what is both taken from and given back to us, our home, our Earth.”

Dee Shapiro’s new work in Largely
petite explores the intersecting of line and pattern with nature,
geometry and craft. This exhibit emphasizes a new sense of intimacy
within Shapiro’s unique style of blending mediums that form an abstract
composition whether in conscious or unconscious pairing.
This body of work is a parenthesis to the larger work that I have been
doing for several years involved with pattern and line. Flowing ink
that informs the painted, drawn and collaged areas are now executed in a
confined space that is intimate and demands attention to detail
sometimes overlooked in the larger works. Fabric and cut paper patterns
are sometimes repeated in the drawing and painting so that in some
instances they are seen as one. Within the abstract surface the titles
sometimes give clues to the work the interpretation is left to the
viewer. Humor is part of the intention not only in the depiction but
also in making the work.”
