One of the best-known contemporary Chinese American artists, Hung Liu's paintings and mixed media works reference both East and West, straddling the line between personal and political. 

Reveries: The Art of Hung Liu opens Thursday in Gallery 28 and includes the three recent acquisitions of large-scale paintings from the estate of longtime museum supporter Joyce L. Stupski: Temple School (1996), Reverie (1998), and Imperial Pillar (2011). Additionally, seven paintings on loan from the Collection of Ella Qing Hou and J. Sanford Miller, the Collection of Jordan D. Schnitzer, and Turner Carroll Gallery, will be on view—all strong examples of Liu’s signature style.

Known for working from historical photographs, Liu drew from China’s long history and her own experiences in order to represent people who have been historically invisible or marginalized.
