In this exhibition, artist Charles Yuen presents paintings that invoke a complex reading of Oriental histories and Asian male subjectivity. Karin Higa contributed an essay for the exhibition in which she writes, “By reinterpreting the exoticism of the East in a way that is not merely a pastiche or wholesale absorption of it, Yuen creates a highly seductive space that defies the rigid binaries of masculine/feminine, protrusion/orifice, or east/west. The paintings embody a critique of Orientalist impulses, ultimately, by re-creating them.”
