Solace in Painting

Reflecting on a Tumultuous Century



Exhibition: February 3 – March 29, 2025

Gallery Talk by Dr. Yukio Lippit: Thursday, February 6, 4 – 5 pm

Reception: Friday, February 7, 5:30 – 7:30 pm



The Gallery at UTA is pleased to present an exhibition that explores how we raise awareness about and characterize the 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 approaches to painting shared experiences of conflict in Asia.
