BEAUTIFUL OIL PAINTINGS OF FLOATING LILY PADS

By Katy Cowan - Creative Boom UK, July 26th 2022

 In her latest body of work, Chinese Panamanian artist MaiYap responds to racism against Asian Americans and the attacks many have suffered. Inspired by Chinese landscape art, her beautiful colorful pieces feature highly textured lily pads floating on top of the water in all shapes and sizes, painted in oils and using only palette knives.

Shade of Harmony solo show

Join me for the opening reception: Thursday February 13th, 2020. 5 to 8pm

In MaiYap's hands, the corals take on a whole new meaning as they become transformed on canvas in rich colors, dramatic textures, and abstract forms. She hopes these paintings will serve to highlight and make a difference in the way people view coral reefs, thereby joining her in collective effort to protect them. “Shades of Harmony” emphases the delicate balance of nature, playing such a vital role in all their survival. We, as a society, must do whatever is necessary to preserve our coral reefs for generations to come.

Sixteen completely new Coral inspired palette knife oil paintings.

Showing exclusively at Collectors Gallery
