Andrew Lui Abstract Drawings and Watercolors
Canadian
Andrew Lui is known for his use of gestural lines in vivid colors that bring to life themes of the voyage and historical drama. Lui’s artwork is avant-garde and as vibrant as the artist himself. He creates a three-dimensional blend of organic lines, shapes and space. Lui studied visual arts at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto, then at the Accademia Belle Arti and the British Institute in Florence, Italy. He completed his training within one year at the University of London, U.K. Since 1974, Lui has had regular exhibitions, mainly in Canada and the United States, but also in Europe and Asia. Known mainly for his oils and watercolors, Liu is represented in the collections of the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and the Pallazzo Strozzi in Florence, Italy.

Citation - black, white, abstracted figurative, brushed ink on paper
By Andrew Lui
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Brushed ink in grey and black leads the eye up the picture plane in this 55-inch tall painting on paper. The intense movement suggestive of rearing horses in this painterly work is in keeping with Lui's theme of pilgrimage in which he explores the idea of "self-inflicted happiness" as a deliberate response to the melancholy and complexity of life. This painting is floated and framed. Framed Size: 60 × 35 inches
Born in Guangzhou, China, Lui participated in the Chinese Cultural Revolution as a member of the Red Guard 1968-70 and then escaped to Hong Kong by swimming. Making his way to Toronto he studied at the Ontario College of Art and became a citizen in the late 1970s. He continued studies in the UK, and Italy where he was drawn to the dynamic Uccello's Battle of San Romano...

Framed abstract Persian calligraphy ink drawing/painting on paper, black & white
By Nazanin Moghbeli
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
Nazanin Moghbeli's "Morghe Sahar 2" is framed in a white wood painted frame with white mat. It is wired with all hanging hardware, and is ready to install. Moghbeli is a Persian American artist with training in Persian calligraphy, miniature painting, and music. She borrows techniques from Iranian calligraphy to create abstract drawings with traditional bamboo “ghalams,” or quills. Rather than using these techniques to create religious objects as they were originally used, she explores the secular meaning of line in and of itself. She seeks the complete dissolution of words and prefers instead to create abstract images, her alternative to religious object making.
The poem that is collaged into this work is a historic Iranian ballad, entitled "Morghe Sahar" (Bird of Dawn), written by Mohammad-Taqi Bahar and put to music by Morteza Neidavoud in 1921. Some consider this song to be the unofficial anthem of freedom in Iran. The lyrics describe a caged nightingale, urging her to sing with passion and break free. It has been sung in different political contexts, from the constitutional revolution of 1921 through the dictatorship of Mohammad Reza...
