NADA East Broadway is pleased to host Traveling Light, an exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Ying Li presented by Alice Gauvin Projects.
The exhibition opens Tuesday, January 9th and will be on view through February 1st, 2024. A reception will be held on Friday, January 12 from 5–8pm, and a catalogue with an accompanying essay by Jennifer Samet will be available for purchase.
This exhibition’s title, Traveling Light, is a paean to the nature of light across landscapes, particularly as depicted by Ying Li—capricious, ever-changing, ever-new. It also speaks to an important facet of her artistic practice. Li is a seasoned traveler, participating in residencies across Europe and America and accompanying her partner, jazz trombonist Conrad Herwig, when his band goes on tour. Over the years, Li has become adept at traveling with still-wet canvases—some of which weigh as much as fifty pounds—across international borders.
And yet, although she is physically encumbered by her painting materials—and, gradually, the works themselves—Li’s jubilant approach to each new terrain and manifest delight in color and line shows us that she can, and does, travel light.
