The solo show of spirit-paintings by Yuh-Shioh Wong in L.A.s Night Gallery proved to be a beautiful exploration of the artist’s imaginative visions. Through soft pastel colors, gentle volumetric shapes, and the sparkling, sensitive eyes of animals, Wong revealed a world she wants us to see as she does. With past solo shows that span coasts, an award from the Chinati Foundation, a Skowegan School residency, and the Albert Alcalay Prize from Harvard, Wong has proven herself skillfull in creating colorful arrangements and mystical animals to transport us into a utopian realm.
