ABOUT THE ARTIST

Jane Liang's works are exquisite oil paintings that delicately reveal an intricate marriage between hyperrealism and conceptual art.

The unique manner in which she paints her subjects and covers them in lace or floral motifs blends her strong technical skill with a soft sense of femininity. The titles she choses and the subjects of choice offer a revisionism and an interrogation on classical painting. Yvonamor Palix Fine Arts recently presented several works of Jane Liang at the Texas Contemporary Art Fair and is preparing her first solo exhibition at the gallery in the Spring.

Born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, she began art training at an early age. Liang was selected as a finalist for the 2014 Hunting Art Prize, and her work was chosen for inclusion in the current issue of New American Paintings (#114) . Her work has been exhibited in numerous juried and group exhibitions across Texas and Taiwan. A graduate of the National Taiwan University of Arts, Liang continued her studies in the United States, receiving a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Texas at San Antonio. She now lives and works in Charlotte, NC.

IN HER OWN WORDS

"I am interested in materials, the body (self-identity), and the relationship in between. Technically, I choose to make representational pieces as the method to convey my thoughts. I like to explore different materials, but mostly focus on oil painting. By constantly brushing paint on the canvas, I increase private and close contact with my work, which sets apart my work from photographs."

romain froquet to wrap the cargo space bus in houston

Romain Froquet, the French artist first featured in the Go West exhibition curated by Karine Parker, and co-founder of TFAA's Open The Door project, is back in Houston.

Froquet was selected as a guest artist to wrap the CARGO SPACE school bus with his signature style. While in town, he will also bring an ephemeral forest entitled ARBRES ("Trees") to a public space. ARBRES is a site-specific installation inspired by his recent art residence in Houston.

These projects are realized in collaboration with Yvonamor Palix Fine Arts.
