Description
Karin Weber Gallery is pleased to present ‘Fay Ku: Arcadia,’ open 16 March through 21 April, 2016. Ku’s figurative artworks suggest the fluidity of identity and challenge the sexual, cultural, personal and political identifiers that have come to define and categorize individuals in greater society.
In early 20th century Europe, the notion of ‘Arcadia’ was inspired by a region of ancient Greece, whose relatively isolated inhabitants lived a simple and pastoral life. In the modern era, this ideal was celebrated in art, music and literature as a countermeasure to the stresses associated with the rapid industrialization and urbanization.
Ku’s Arcadia is a contemporary interpretation and offers a fresh utopian vision in which individuals are free to inhabit a multitude of identities and imaginative environments.
