Soojin Kim and Vena Gu - An Alternative Still Life

This show is for two young woman artists, a Chinese artist Vena Gu and a Korean artist Soojin Kim. They both base in US, Soojin Kim in Boston , and Vena in Providence. Even thought they came from different culture, country, but we find they have something in common- they perceive the world with deep thinking and feeling.
Their paintings make us wonder -- how do we perceive existence and time; how do we keep things that are unkeepable? Art endows us with a possibility to record and represent these transient and delicate things. The painting, although static, implies the passing of time. The destiny of things, in a sense, reflects the destiny of humanity.
