Artist’s Reception with musical performance,
Sunday, August 22nd  2 to4 p.m.


Nina Kuo is an Asian-American artist based in New York City. Drawing on her heritage, she explores the history of cultural relationships through the interplay of figurative and abstract imagery, in ways that are delicate, ambiguous, whimsical or poignant. The exhibition includes a selection of small paintings from 1999-2007, that draw on classical Chinese sources as well as objects of contemporary life.

Summer Interlude: An artist’s reception with a musical performance is scheduled for Sunday, August 22nd from 2-4pm.

 
 

We are looking forward to participating with Open House, NY
