Cecile Chong's mixed-media art features layers, representing complex ideas of culture and identity.
Many people can't. Since 2016, we teamed up with cultural organizations around the world, including the National Museum of Women in the Arts, to share important contributions by women in our exhibitions and programs.
In a broad range of styles, many women display their work in both group and solo shows here at LICM:
Cecile Chong's mixed-media art features layers, representing complex ideas of culture and identity.
"After Nature" challenged viewers to think about their impact on the world as Julie Peppito includes found objects, including discarded toys, in her artwork.
The exhibit "Don’t Play with your Food!" challenged the rule to never play with what we eat. Artist and Art Educator Julianne Zegers sculpted food to look like group portraits and landscapes, then turned them into oil paintings and monotypes.
“Sesheta Weaves Rainbows” explored symbolism through color in wearable works of art.
Her installation came to life on the KaleidoZone wall through a week-long process. Visitors watched the live action of the artist creating "Walking after Midnight."
Betty LaDuke's vibrant colors and irregular forms in her murals, paintings and drawings reflect the interesting stories of those she champions.
Alli Berman works in her studio to create puzzle art therapy, interactive art that increases visual perception and enhances cognitive skills.
Alli Berman's “Swirls, Waves and Puzzles" was an interactive mural in KaleidoZone in 2011, always changing as squares with velcro were rearranged by visitors as they passed through the space.
Myra Kooy's community-building project "Handprints Extravaganza!!” was created during the artist's stay on Long Island's North Fork, where she painted and pressed unique hand-stamps onto several multi-paned glass windows.
