BaCA AiR Featured Artist: Manzi Liu

Lui brings an international flair to her paintings having studied and practiced art in her native China, and later in France and the US. Fascinated with Asian culture, ancient mythology, and her inner world of dreams and memories, her paintings often incorporate these themes and blend styles of Surrealism and Expressionism. During her residency, Liu plans to create a large-scale project of several paintings, entitled The Sign, which will feature feminine figures with Chinese cultural elements. This project will honor Chinese women who are constrained by their culture and society's bondage in different eras and will explore the women's varying responses to their circumstances.

Feneck skillfully creates movement and depth by forming layered compositions with widely varied spatial conditions. Through May 24, 2023.
