Solace in Painting: Reflecting on a Tumultuous Century will be open at the Gallery at UTA, Feb. 4-March 29, 2025An opening gala and panel featuring Ann Phong, Yukio Lippit, and Fletcher Coleman will be held Friday, February 7, 5:30-7:30pm, in The Gallery at UTAContemporary art discourse is often driven by an unspoken interest in trauma. But what of artists from underrepresented communities whose lives were altered by conflicts of the twentieth century, yet who chose to never directly represent their traumatic experiences? “Solace in Painting” explores how we characterize and raise awareness about artwork of conflicted artists of the Asian diaspora who never produced overt “conflict art.” This traveling exhibition features three little-researched diasporic painters—Chao Shao-an (1905-1998), Keisho Okayama (1934- 2018), and Ann Phong (1957-)—brought together through their unusual and oblique approaches to painting shared experiences of major conflicts in Asia.Curated by Dr. Fletcher Coleman, assistant professor of art history and museum studies at UTA, with an exhibition catalogue produced by Scala Arts and Heritage Publishers Ltd., featuring contributions by Dr. Coleman and Dr. Yukio Lippit of Harvard University. Following its conclusion at UTA, the exhibition will travel to the UNO Gallery, University of Nebraska at Omaha, Sept. 2-Oct. 31, 2025
