Hip Young Things

Painter Marlene Tseng Yu is a leader in a new movement in the art world, a movement that has been happening in other worlds such as architecture, car design, and general ways of life, and that is the Green Movement.  Through her work Yu illustrates the effects on the environment, the way in which is is changing because of global warming, and illustrates the necessity for conservation.   For just a few more weeks, until November 14th, her new show, The Forces of Nature is hanging.  It also includes recent works as well as a series she painted in the 1970′s, The Glacier Melting series will be on display at the Chelsea Art Museum in New York City.

This is the sixtieth solo show for Yu, and it exemplifies her abstract techniques which are combined with values of realism, influence both by Western cultures of the world, and the cultures of China.  She works in acrylic paint and this exhibit also highlights her style, her brushwork and the experimental nature of her paintings.  Some of her pieces are quite large, reaching twelve feet in height, and thirty-five feet in length.  Such monumental sizes make an impact on the view and leave a lasting impression.  The works represent everything from avalanches to underwater scenes to forests of trees, all phenomena of the natural world.

5 star New York hotels in the area have remained booked as people are traveling to the city to experience Yu and her paintings, which capture the forces of our natural world.  She was born in Taiwan, and went to school at the National Taiwan Normal University.  She then studied at China’s National Art Gallery, and moved to the United States to continue in Boulder at the University of Colorado.  She has shown in major museums around the world since the 1960′s, throughout Europe and Asia and the US.  She has also been extensively reviewed in over one hundred and forty magazines and publications, translated into nine languages.  This is one show not to miss, and I suggest for the next three weeks, anyone in the city or traveling through, make every effort to get to Chelsea and check out the incredible work of Marlene Tseng Yu.
