Jacque Liu's show is at the Lemberg Gallery in Ferndale, MI. Jacque uses folded pieces of mylar over shapes of colored paper. Mylar is semi-transparent but foggy creating a mystery about the color underneath. When a color is present the question arises, is it paint? Paper is the chosen medium that fits the artist's sensibilities. Jacque Liu has been working with paper for some time, drawing but also folding to create value supporting the lines. The folded lines are clearly read in natural light. The installation also includes drawing on the walls next to the framed work reflecting precise spatial relationships. There are also well crafted, functional chairs made with wood and memory foam. After sitting an impression was left on the chair, then it slowly returned to its flat surface. The installation is one to experience first hand. If you are in Michigan, don't miss Jacque Liu: Sight Lines, a thoughtful presentation of high quality work.
