Yi Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition, Embraces, featuring works by Annesta Le, In Kyoung Chun, Kate Casanova, Ashley Lyon, April Key, MaryKate Maher and Juanita Lanzo.
Inspired by the human body and the built environment humans construct and inhabit, the artists in Embraces explore the myriad ways to document important and complex aspects of contemporary life. Through depictions and abstractions of the physical and psychological conditions defining the human body - how it occupies and interacts with spaces - each artist transforms the physical experience into her unique aesthetic and conceptual language. Curvilinear and architectonic forms evoke pain and pleasure, as well as exposing vulnerability and a calling for a deeper connection to the self.
