Entering Charles Yuen’s world through “Rhyming the Invisible,” his solo exhibition at LaiSun Keane, is being plunged into a heavenly body that functions with its own set of governance and folklore. The logic and rules that regulate this planet are subversive yet reflective of our own. Each oil painting becomes a player within a multi-part saga that Yuen authors with the utmost care and particularity. Moving through the gallery begins to feel as though you are traveling through a storybook of mythology, creation, and abstract observations of the contemporary human condition.
