Rewoven Artist: LuLu Meng

Messages by LuLu Meng
LuLu Meng was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, she received a BA in drama and theater from National Taiwan University and a MFA in Imaging Arts, Photography and Related Media from Rochester Institute of Technology and now resides in New York City.

Her sculptures, installations and photographs strive to embody how individuality and conformity coexist. She is inspired by both the similarities and differences of people and cultures. Meng has participated in many exhibitions throughout Europe, Asia and the United States. And lucky for us, will be one of the more than two dozen artists contributing work to the Rewoven - Innovative Fiber Art exhibit running at the QCC Art Gallery from March 16 through June 17, with an Opening Night event on March 30.

Rewoven Artist: Wen Fu Yu

Wen Fu Yu sits amidst his Giant Bamboo Sculpture Installation
at the Museum Of Contemporary Art in Taipei.
Growing up around his family’s bamboo crafts business, Wen Fu Yu acquired knowledge of traditional craftsmanship at young age, but besides bamboo craft, he has also developed a strong interest in painting, calligraphy and seal carving.

In much of his work, Yu depends on natural materials such as bamboo and feathers to create large-scale installations and environmental art. His work is often familiar in theme, yet infused with imaginative vivacity, encouraging his audience to contemplate those transient elements of our surroundings, such as air, wind, water and time.

Come see what he has in store for our own QCC Art Gallery and its devotees,

Wen Fu Yu's Spring Snow, composed of 50,000 bleached white bamboo sticks.

Rewoven Artist: Hui Lin Chuang

On her method, Chuang has commented, "I treat material like another person, a living thing."

Hui Lin Chuang studied plastic arts at the Da Yeh University and the Taipei National University of the Arts in Taiwan, obtaining an MFA. Already, she has had four solo exhibitions in Taiwan and one in Switzerland. She's also participated in several significant group shows in Taiwan and one in Korea. She’s also completed five international residencies throughout Asia and Europe, and in 2013 garnered a Lih-Pao International Sculpture Biennial Award.

Chuang’s sculptures convey delicate webs, dappled sunbeams and frilly coral colonies. Their beauty  is elevated to ethereal heights by the unlikely synthetic  materials the Taiwanese artist employs to create them. And some of her finest recent work will be on display when Rewoven - Innovative Fiber Art opens at the QCC Art Gallery on March 16. Hope you can make it!
