Katherine Chang Liu Paintings

American

As an artist, Katherine Chang Liu is an anomaly. Her graduate degree in science did not prepare her to become the artist she is. Yet some fortuitous confluence of art, science and socio-cultural maturation — the threads from which the fabric of her art are woven; the stuff of life, which, though informed by reason, is by definition unreasoned — form the corpus of Liu's iconography. That is not to say that her art springs from some ethereal void.

Liu has studied art formally and informally all of her life, leading to grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Virginia Commission of Arts and Humanities, to name only two of her long list of achievements. Additionally, she has been a museum co-curator, lecturer and teacher of considerable international influence. Katherine grew up in Taiwan in a more or less traditional Chinese family. But in the postwar period of her youth, the tradition began to give way to "modernization," one consequence of which was to substitute the ballpoint pen for the ancient calligraphic brush, the primary instrument of poetic and aesthetic expression in Chinese culture. The noted curator J.S.M. Willette observed that Liu's painting/collages "have a component beyond expressionistic marking: they are resolutions of her Eastern heritage and Western training." The ancient Tibetan Lama Sumpo Khempo wrote that "since art embodies the mind, body and spirit, it must in truth be understood to be the highest form of learning." Katherine Chang Liu has learned well.

Echo In Motion, Abstract Mixed-Media Painting on Paper by Emmi Iida

Located in Lahti, FI

“Echo in Motion” is an original abstract work on paper by Finnish multidisciplinary artist Emmi Iida, known for her emotionally charged and intuitive compositions that merge gesture, texture, and flow. This 2023 piece captures a moment of raw movement and organic tension — strokes of gray, black, and ochre interlace with fluid drips and translucent washes. The composition feels spontaneous yet deeply intentional, like a visual echo of a fleeting emotion or thought suspended in air. The exposed paper acts as negative space, giving the piece a quiet balance between chaos and stillness. Executed with acrylics and mixed media on fine art paper, “Echo in Motion” reflects Emmi Iida’s continued exploration of energy and emotion through abstraction — a meditation in motion, ideal for collectors drawn to expressive yet minimalist works on paper. About the Artist: Emmi Iida is an internationally exhibiting artist, author, musician and interior architect, working at the intersection of visual art, sound, and design. Her practice is rooted in Nordic minimalism and emotional depth, infused with a global perspective from her years living and creating across Europe and the United States. Her works have been acquired by collectors from New York to Los Angeles, Sydney to Paris, and she is currently represented by MONAT Gallery (Paris, Madrid, Innsbruck) and Van Gogh Art Gallery (Munich, Miami). Upcoming exhibitions include international art fairs and group shows in Europe and the United States in 2025. Abstract Art...

Fire Remembered — Abstract Expressionist Painting on Cardboard by Emmi Iida

Located in Lahti, FI

“Fire Remembered” is an original 54 x 47 cm painting on cardboard by Finnish multidisciplinary artist Emmi Iida, known for her emotionally charged abstractions that merge movement, intuition, and raw texture. The work pulses with elemental energy — vivid reds, deep umbers, and molten oranges rise from the surface like embers caught in motion. Painted in acrylics on cardboard, its composition feels both spontaneous and ceremonial, as if capturing the memory of warmth after transformation. This piece speaks of renewal and the persistence of creative fire — a reminder of the beauty within change and the power of emotion made visible. Its compact scale and strong visual rhythm make it a striking addition to any contemporary collection. About the Artist: Emmi Iida is an internationally exhibiting artist, author, musician and interior architect, working at the intersection of visual art, sound, and design. Her practice is rooted in Nordic minimalism and emotional depth, infused with a global perspective from her years living and creating across Europe and the United States.
