The PossibiIity of a Slower Paced Life
In Katherine Chang Liu's paintings there is something very Scandinavian, even
though the artist herself is building traces of her own ethnic heritage in her art.
The perception of color and composition has clear dialogue with
Scandinavian modernism and contemporary art. The refined restraint,
as well as the harmony the work reflects, feels very familiar.
In Liu's work what is especially fascinating are the details that lead to reflections
of the "unfinished" state of things. One of the most simplified and at the same time
harsh criticism is how the Western world diagnoses time and space to describe culture.
The West is obsessed with time. How would our perception and goals change
if we were to be defined by our pace? You can say that Katherine Chang Liu's work encourages
us to pace life, to return to introspection, examine the past, and in general, to slow down.
