Williams Tower 2800 Post Oak opened last night 3/18/08
GO SEE YAO Lu’s work – gorgeous he is using photographic tools to replace the woodcut!
Ok so I think that this is a very important trend in the Art/Photographic world. The digital photographic tools are very flexible and can be taken many directions. YAO Lu has developed them to replace the woodcut and has opened the dialog between the two processes. Fabulous – he has gone back to where the Pictorialists left off (Impressionism +/-) and brought up the dialog between the mediums with traditional Chineese cultural roots the woodcut. He has further updated the scenes with modern concerns. These are fabulous images and NOT TO BE MISSED! Make it a priority stop! (Ok so I’m a little biased – I work in the same pond but with several western painting schools.)
While there, see the rest of the show the composites with little pictures and further overlays were well done. The Franklin bill was intriguing. At Summer Street, and to some extent Cleary we saw the same use of little pictures to make a whole. At Williams center they were well done and worth seeing, but I prefer the images at Cleary the color and the use of the components of the structure, were more intriguing to me than the use of other faces. The images at Summer Street not at all in the same league of execution.
YAO Lu – go see the work!
