SUMMARY:HOPE TIAN: IN BLOOM
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nBy appointment \nContact: olivia.lejeune@montserrat.edu \nHOPE TIAN is a self-taught painter born and raised in Beijing\, China who now resides in Greater Boston. Tian creates lush and saturated landscapes and portraits that are simultaneously other-worldly and true to life. Her landscapes are bathed in sublime and shadowy light and color; the subjects of her portraits\, who often bear a resemblance to the artist\, are poignant reflections on the range of the human emotion. The influence of French Impressionism\, and more specifically\, the paintings of Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet\, are apparent in Tian’s thick application of oil paint and bold and expressionistic brush strokes. Of oil painting Tian remarks\, “Oil painting\, in its purest form\, can unveil and release all of our thoughts and emotions that sometimes we didn’t know were there.” For Tian\, painting is a visual as well as material process through which she forms a deeper understanding of herself and a connection to the world around her.  \nTian has exhibited at commercial galleries regionally and her most recent work can be found on Instagram @hope.tian and her website: www.hopetianfineart.com.  She hosts a monthly “Meet the Artist” Zoom gathering to discuss a variety of art-related topics. \nHope Tian\, Sunflower\, 2015\, Oil on canvas

SUMMARY:Jessica Lau: Disembodied Identities
DESCRIPTION:Founders Gallery\n248 Cabot Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915\nGallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community M-F\, 10am-5pm or\nBy Appointment: galleries@montserrat.edu\nDates\nJune 17–August 116 2021 \nSomerville-based artist\, Jessica Lau\, explores the relationship between personal and social identity. Taking inspiration from her experiences as a second-generation Chinese American woman\, Lau transforms them into disembodied and provocative sculptures. With roots in production pottery and figurative sculpture\, Lau references the vessel and the body as a conceptual representation of internal and external forms\, investigating how different shapes can inform our conceptions of the body and its relationship to cultural and gendered identities. \nClay is a transformative material able to mimic pursed lips\, draping fabric\, furniture\, or skin. Lau delights in the mutability of this material\, skillfully manipulating it to evoke images of reproduction and part of the body. She also incorporates familiar items in her sculptures\, such as clothing\, industrial building materials\, beads\, crystals\, and both human and synthetic hair. Each sculpture – a portrait of moments of pleasure and pain that accompanies dynamic points in the cycle of life – offers new forms and languages to examine the fragility of the human condition and her desire to reinvent it. \n  \nImage:  Jessica Lau\, Ch’ing Nasty\, 2020.
