Grace Li Wang Art Gallery in Raleigh, NC, Offers Opening Exhibition
Grace Li Wang Art Gallery, a new art gallery which has opened at the Milbrook Lake Center in Raleigh, NC, will present its first exhibition entitled Atmospheres. The exhibition which features avant-garde contemporary art and an installation will be on view from Sept. 3 through Oct. 19, 2002. It includes works by Mia Yoon, Greg Plachta, and Grace Li Wang.
Mia Yoon presents the Sign and Symbols Series and the Sensorium Series. A conceptual abstractionist working in electrical lights and three-dimensions, as well as encaustic oil paintings, Yoon creates work that has the illusion of mystery and is seemingly not just painting or sculpture. She shows her art using a variety of materials including encaustic oil works with plexiglass, metal wire, plastic tube and collages.
Greg Plachta shows his new infrared fine art photographs in three groups: botanical abstracts with leaves, flowers and plants; close up views of tall grasses and grains in fields and gardens; and his signature work: travel photographs from Italy, Thailand, France and Mexico. The infrared images are very soft and dream-like and transcend ethereal and spiritual emotions. The images are cropped in camera and the entire negative is presented.
Grace Li Wang exhibits her signature series, Nature: Impressions of the Soul. Her work is known for its dramatic colors and stylized forms in both representational and abstract presentations. Her media is two-dimensional work executed in acrylic, oil, pastels and mixed media. She recently had two solo exhibitions in Nanjing, China, including the Yan Xhen Qing Museum in May 2002.
