Bau-Xi Vancouver is thrilled to present Becoming, the anticipated new exhibition from Vancouver based artist Eric Louie. Louie's signature shimmering abstract forms almost appear to slowly move and shift, reflecting the collection's theme of the four seasons and the ever-changing nature of life. Louie's works possess a chameleonic ability to exist comfortably among a multitude of aesthetics, from 1920s Art Deco and Mid-Century Modern through to the late 20th Century and into the forefront of contemporary design.
Artist Statement:
My latest show approaches ideas surrounding the four seasons, perpetual change and cyclical nature of life. Different temperatures found in light and colour exemplify each passing moment depicted. The connection between the changing seasons, their varying colours and our projected memories associated with them is where the work touches most eloquently. Each painting involves some interaction and reaction between the imposing forms inhabiting the spaces I’ve created. Some semblance of the elements comes out in each scene where I’m focused on pulling that “feeling” out of myself.
