Asian American Abstractionists Explore Identity in New York Exhibition
The Milton Resnick and Pat Passlof Foundation in New York is hosting an exhibition titled 'How Asian Is It?' featuring 12 pioneering East Asian American abstractionists. These artists, born between 1928 and 1955, have navigated the complexities of identity in the art world, often choosing abstraction as a means to express themselves. The exhibition highlights the principle of liubai, a concept in Chinese ink painting that uses white space actively, suggesting elements like sky or mist. Artists like Barbara Takenaga and Emily Cheng explore themes of identity and cultural heritage through their work, using abstraction to negotiate space and meaning. The exhibition runs until July 11, 2026.
