Join exhibition curator Emily O'Leary for a guided tour of Zhen Guo: Chroma Comes from the Margins exhibition at the Derfner Judaica Museum in The Bronx, New York. On November 30, 2023, Emily O'Leary will present a guided tour of this captivating exhibition that showcases ten recent large-scale ink paintings on rice paper by Chinese feminist artist Zhen Guo. These stunning artworks feature brightly colored stripes in oil pastel, a neon light installation, and a thought-provoking seven-minute film. Zhen Guo's newest paintings have evolved from her earlier series called Muted Landscape, which explores the marginalization of vulnerable people and places, particularly women and the environment. Unlike traditional Chinese ink painting, these works abandon strong lines in favor of amorphous, monochromatic forms that suggest the contours of the female body and the natural world. Guo achieves this effect through diluted ink and softened brushstrokes, resulting in abstract images that appear softened and defaced when viewed from afar. In a bold departure from her previous works, Guo has recently introduced vibrant stripes of color into her paintings, symbolizing a need for change and breaking with traditional Eastern ink art. This infusion of vivid chroma disrupts the landscape, hinting at the interruption of silence and suppression. Drawing from her personal history as a survivor of domestic violence and as a woman navigating Chinese patriarchy and immigration, Guo's powerful paintings reflect her journey towards feminism and self-empowerment. Through the injection of saturated colors, Guo's artworks convey resilience and new possibilities, cutting through the gray, degraded landscape. Don't miss the opportunity to explore Zhen Guo: Chroma Comes from the Margins at the Derfner Judaica Museum and deepen your understanding of Guo's powerful and thought-provoking artworks. Admission to the exhibition is free.
