The Beginning Place
Lily Wong , United States
Lily Wong, Sans Titre, 2022, Acrylique sur Papier, 76 x 56 cm
Gallery LJ presents the first ever solo show by American artist Lily Wong in France. Lily Wong fuses spiritual references to contemporary life with classic East Asian imagery. The characters that occupy her work have exaggerated features and the illicit emotions that consume much of contemporary life: anxiety, fear, love and loss. With a background in printmaking, Wong has an almost electric gift for animating a composition through color and narrative. On the occasion of his exhibition at the gallery, a lithograph made on a stone created by the artist at IDEM Montparnasse during a residency in April 2022 will be released.
The gallery
Founded and directed by Adeline Jeudy and Claude Lemarié in 2007, Galerie LJ focuses on emerging graphic artists and contemporary painters and sculptors, who examine contemporary society through the lens of figuration and narration.
