In dexterous
biomorphic and geometric abstractions, Ava Hsueh(b. 1956) creates a hybrid reality that corresponds
to epochal shifts in contemporary abstract art. The artist’s dynamic brushwork
imparts to her canvases an Eastern allure. The black contours not only
exemplify the captivating quality of calligraphy, but also form a sort of
natural landscape. What lies behind the dimension of imagery are the visible
and invisible depths of temporal and spatial fields, achieved through her
interweaving of lines and planes that cradle the pigments’ luster and warmth.
Through her layered compositions, the charm of East and West blends with
gradual expansion of aesthetics and consciousness.
