Yezi Lou/ Women Art

Yezi Lou earned her BFA from the School of Visual Arts and her MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles. Lou challenges the propensities of classical oil painting with decisions as subtle as a color palette shift and as radical as her choice of subject. With a rare deftness and sensitivity, her studied eye translates the legibilities of everyday life into something more muddy and opaque. One can’t help but feel a presence in her works, though they so often aim to estrange and to optimize absence. Lou’s formal powers lie in the redacted narrative.
