Tracing presents sculptures by Taiwanese-born, Canadian artist An Te Liu and paintings by London-based artist Jemima Murphy. Rooted in a lineage of modernist sculpture and abstract painting, Liu and Murphy explore themes of belonging, nostalgia, and memory.
Distinct in form, each artist follows a process led by their search for something to be revealed, uncovering histories, pulling back the curtain of subconsciousness. Tracing finds a sublime clarity and spaciousness through suspension, gravity, and repetition. United by performative and gestural underpinnings, their sustained fascinations, constant retellings, and transformations fuse the present with the past.
On view at Anat Ebgi, 4859 Fountain Ave, Los Angeles from 19 February–29 March. An opening reception will take place on Wednesday 19 February from 6–8 pm.
