Nina Kuo, Mythical Mosaic

January 1-19, Monday - Friday, 1-5 PM

Gallery Talk with Guests on Friday, January 19 (Time TBA)

Gallery 456, 456 Broadway, New York, NY 10013

Solo Exhibit “Mythical Mosaic” is a presentation of photographic montages that reveal the Asian American persona created with archetypal images that respond to rising of expressive freedoms tying in Asiatic geographies, symbols and nuances. These mythologies translate composed forms for our imaginative times. Presented figures are mostly performers, actors, popping out in modern Chinatown and its enclaves. They bring in meditative spiritual realms for all to engage, perhaps hiding in alleys or tunnels of our city where ancestors inhabited in secret. See Maggie Cheung, Opera stars and Corky Lee with Kuo’s anti racist - poster of Danny Chen. New beginnings will arise for shared communities !
