After moving to the United States and eventually settling in Chandler, Fan Rong began blending Western elements into his paintings to create his own unique style, which usually depict historical narratives and folklore on a grand scale. His work is in collections and has received recognition on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.

By directing and guiding a mixture of Sumi ink and water, Sapira Cheuk creates androgynous figures that appear to move weightlessly across a stark white backdrop. For this exhibition, Cheuk is exploring how individuals cope mentally and physically with change or trauma and what remains after. Through her work, she meditatively attempts to control the uncontrollable. While we may never be able to avoid these external forces, we can, like the artist’s hand, control how they leave their mark on the paper of our lives.
