FLOHAUS Gallery is pleased to announce Three Ways to Cross a Field, a three-person exhibition featuring Du Huaxian, Yi Cynthia Chen, and Devon Pin-Yu Chen. Inspired in part by the film Postmen in the Mountains, the exhibition brings together three distinct artistic practices that move through landscape, memory, body, and everyday life in different ways. Across painting and ceramics, mountains dissolve into body parts, creatures wander across shifting boundaries, and fragments of village life reappear as emotional terrain. While the artists share certain cultural references as a starting point, each approaches the world through a different visual language. Rather than arriving at a single narrative, the exhibition unfolds through three separate ways of sensing, crossing, and relating to the world around us. ————————— Image: The Judging Mind Oil on Canvas 20”H x 16”W (50.8 cm x 40.64 cm)

Introducing Yi Cynthia Chen @yicynthiachen 🩷 Her online solo exhibition is now on view via our Artsy Viewing Room. Check the link in bio. Yi Cynthia Chen (b. 1996, Takoma Park, Maryland) is an interdisciplinary painter. Chen often explores how cycles of nature, the body, and history are connected. Her practice weaves together Chinese and American practices of making, painting, and cultural philosophy to create intertwined spaces of nonduality. Yi Cynthia Chen won the Bradford F. Swan Prize for Oil at Edward Mitchell Bannister National Exhibition in Providence, Rhode Island and SMFA at Tufts Travel Grant to research fresco mural grottoes in Dunhuang, China. Chen is currently a resident at the Vermont Studio Residency. Chen has exhibited through Soft Systems x Plot Los Angeles with a recent solo exhibition at the Harvard Ed Portal at Harvard University. #flohausgallery #flohaus #artisttowatch

FLOHAUS Gallery is pleased to announce our online exclusive exhibition, Between Surface and Soil, now available on the Artsy Viewing Room, featuring seven works by Yi Cynthia Chen @yi.is.cooking Viewing room link in bio. For inquiries and exclusive artwork catalog, please email [email protected] or DM us. Yi Cynthia Chen (b. 1996, Takoma Park, Maryland) is an interdisciplinary painter whose practice explores the interconnected cycles of nature, the body, and history, layering  spaces where perception, memory, and habitat continuously reshape one another. When you look at Chen’s work, you encounter bodies, plants, and fragments of built environments woven into shifting landscapes. Figures open into root systems, and architecture dissolves into organic forms, as everything seems in the process of becoming. Yi Cynthia Chen won the Bradford F. Swan Prize for Oil at Edward Mitchell Bannister National Exhibition in Providence, Rhode Island and SMFA at Tufts Travel Grant to research fresco mural grottoes in Dunhuang, China.

Art => Culture => Experience Experience => Culture => Art It is rare to see an exhibition of two Hakka artists coming together, especially in such a merging of material and ideation. I’m so grateful to be a witness “Mountain Call” open now until March 14 at Roots and Culture in Chicago. Portable frescoes from Ivan David Ng’s work and Hai-Wen Lin’s sculptural interpretation of Bayin music are interwoven into a speculative interpretation of identity. This review opens up some questions and unexpected moments of the two-person show. Many thanks to @newcitymag @hai_wen_lin @ivandavidng @roots_and_culture_chi for the space to interpret.

In the end we will all die alone, perhaps that’s what makes this all so special <3 Been thinking a lot about impermanence and how, as cliche as it sounds, our time on this earth is so short and our impermanent nature makes me so grateful for being alive. Happy late Valentine’s Day and happy new lunar new year :3 By the way, one of my instant photos is currently on view at @thecuratedfridge (not this one, but another one that I hope emerges in a larger canvas someday!) show “Instant Impermanence”: Thank you @behindvashadows for hosting the show and @yolandaheyang_arts and @yorgosphoto for your work behind the scenes!
