Exhibition Urban Harmony in Spring

Urban Harmony in Spring Exhibition at Westfield WTC -Fulton Center.

Exhibition Urban Harmony in Spring.
Location: Fulton Center subway station, 200 Broadway, NYC.

Salute to the good part 🥹. I finished another creative journey at Fulton Center in the last four months. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have space and time to create new artwork for sustainable art . The work is inspired by the urban location of lower Manhattan and the harmony in spring. The art exhibition Urban Harmony in Spring is exhibiting inside the subway station at Fulton Center. After this artist-in-residence, a new chapter is waiting for me. No need to wait too long to see my next project pop up! Thank you for supporting my journey of creating art to fight climate change ❤️.

Urban Harmony

This year I was selected to do a public art with 49 artists for Sing For Hope in New York City. Each of us paints a piano, and the pianos will be on display in public. My design for the piano highlights the sensibility of New York’s cityscape. The design paints the abstractions of urban space, woven with color and light, as inspired by common architectural elements in the city like arches, windows, and fire escapes. These elements invite viewers to imagine a better future by engaging our sensibility and emotion in the open. 

The official unveiling of the 2019 Pianos will take place on Monday, June 3rd, beginning at 12:00 p.m., at Fosun Plaza at 28 Liberty in New York City. There will be pop-up performances. Visitors are welcome to play the pianos.

My piano “Urban Harmony” will be on display in public for a month: 
Location: 28 Liberty Street, Manhattan.
Date: June 4 – 23. Hours: Mon – Sun 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM. Fully accessible.
Come play a few songs!!

Paint A Piano Public Art

It was a great experience to work on public art for Sing For Hope in NYC. In the last few months, I was painting my design on a piano. The artwork highlights the sensibility of New York’s cityscape. The design paints the abstractions of urban space, woven with color and light, as inspired by common architectural elements in the city like arches, windows, and fire escapes. These elements invite viewers to imagine a better future by engaging our sensibility and emotion in the open. When the painted piano placed in a school or a healthcare facility, I hope my artwork can connect different human experiences with harmony and hope. I believe color has healing power, and I hope my artwork will also bring comfort to those using the healthcare setting.

I am sharing news about the ongoing exhibition “Concrete & Adrift: On the Poverty Line” at the Alexandria Museum of Art.  The exhibition calls our attention to the issue of homelessness. I am honored to be part of the exhibition. Through the cardboard artworkHome, Not Home #3″, I express the hope and strength of those who live on the street. From creating the installation of Urban Cage to mixed media Home, Not Home series, I create work that aims to capture our vulnerability in identity, living in oppressive urban spaces.
