LaiSun Keane is thrilled to participate in Artsy's Foundations Summer 2024 online art fair from July 23 to August 12 with a two person virtual booth featuring Danyang Anna Song and Charles Yuen.
Our presentation includes five paintings by Charles Yuen and ten ceramic sculptures by Danyang Song. Yuen’s vibrant and colorful paintings, reflect his emotional, physical, and mental responses to his surroundings and life experiences. Song’s collapsed vessel sculptures, in a vivid yet monochromatic palette, explore themes of transformation and impermanence triggered by her health diagnosis and anxiety. Appropriately titled,
Expressions, our presentation is about how each artist expresses themselves in their chosen medium.
About the Artists:
Charles Yuen’s early encounters with the emotional potential of art began an enduring interest. After graduating with a BFA from the University of Hawaii (1975), his place of birth, Yuen made his way to New York City, collecting a MFA from Rutgers University (1981) in the process. Inspired by cultural differences in his new environment and an excitement over newly discovered ways of analyzing visual phenomena, Yuen dove into art making’s potential as social critique and personal fulfillment. Part catharsis and part poetics, Yuen has been investigating fluid definitions of realism and irrationality, advocating a subjective logic for humanist expression.
Danyang (Anna) Song brings her point of view, with a rich artistic journey that spans continents. With a BFA from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, and an MFA in Ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI, Song’s artworks have been showcased in numerous exhibitions worldwide, including the RISD Museum, The Blanc Gallery in New York, and the Kathryn Schultz Gallery in Boston. Notably, her works have
been added to the collection at Tsinghua University, and she has received several awards, including the NCECA 2024 Multicultural Fellowship and the Craftsmanship Innovation Award at The 1st Dehua Chinese Traditional Ceramic Biennial.
Foundations is a seasonal online art fair held by Artsy to spotlight fresh works from taste-making galleries known for supporting emerging artists.
