Seattle-based Chinese artist Yongqi Tang crafts intriguing paintings that show as much as they obscure through carefully crafted vignettes and bold color palettes. Her debut solo in New York, “The Open Venus,” highlights Tang’s distinctive approach to exploring concepts of identity, cultural norms, and transformations of the body. Alluring yet uncanny, Tang’s paintings allude to a world or story just outside of our own, reflecting universal preoccupations and anxieties centered around contemporary existence.
