โ€œI call my paintings โ€œWhite Space Details.โ€ Like the empty space on a calendar or breathing fresh air after surfacing from water, precious, sparkling and delightful. In Mandarin, โ€œ็ฉบ็™ฝโ€ or โ€œwhite spaceโ€ describes the unpainted portion of a traditional Chinese painting, a concept similar to โ€œnegative spaceโ€ in English. But in the Chinese concept of ็ฉบ็™ฝ, this blankness is full of potential, a rare glimpse into the details of life, the unfilled moments life leaves for people.

I mix shapes, relationships, historical spaces, and cultural backgrounds to produce some plausible stories that feel friendly with a little sprinkle of humor. Like a small independent society performing in the corner of its own script. The artworks reflect the essence from the appearance, find commonalities in the trivialities, are not interfered with, are not imposed, and present things as they are.โ€

โ€œOnce I came across a news story online about a Chinese couple who, unable to afford a house with a garden due to their love for plants, turned to public parks. They meticulously cared for and planted vegetation in the public space. Beyond being moved, the keywords "care" and "planting" resonated in my mind, inspiring me greatly. This couple chose to relinquish plants as a property and instead focused on the actions of planting and caring. This also addressed the topic I had been contemplatingโ€” the issue of "intimate relationships": our neglect in constructing intimate relationships may stem from considering them unnecessary.

In our social lives, we often prioritize constructing "functionality" and overlook the crucial role that intimate relationships play in the "ecology" of society. Reflecting on a painting I created a year ago, it seems that even then, I was semi-consciously pursuing the feeling of "planting" and "plants"โ€”placing plants in a certain area of the canvas, allowing energy to flow through the stems, and blossoms and fruits to bloom as a result. In this context, some previously vague things gradually became clear. I wasn't "producing" intimate relationships; I was "planting" intimate relationships. Consequently, at this stage, I started incorporating a plant's rhizome structure into my paintings, allowing these memories to "wildly grow," blooming and bearing fruit unrestrainedly, breaking through the canvas and extending into the space.โ€

โ€œLaughter is not only the best medicine but the best medium for empathy. My work resolves heavy subject matter in a lighthearted way. I always start with a frustration, with the result of the final sculpture being a kind of container for my feelings, like an amulet, which I then coat with a solid, simple matte pastel paint. Generally my sculptures take the form of human bodies, objects, and, sometimes, random bits of text. My primary method of sculpture-making is through 3D modeling and 3D printing, because I find it to be the most efficient and precise.โ€

โ€œI paint entities that express strong gestural storytales of my experiences as a living being. These creatures travel in all their transcendental glory to wonderlands of emotion, sensation, and feeling. In my work, I use flashy, vivid, and contrasting colors to constitute mystics and otherworldliness. To truly capture the chaos of my mind, I build up twisting curls and swirls within my entities. They are then grounded in their bright worlds by placing hard-edged but lively architectural elements. I include Afros and Black hairstyles within my creaturesโ€™ shapes to signify my energetic identity. I also use sparkly jewelry, flat oval shapes resembling nails, and simple hoof shapes that suggest high heels to signify exploration of my femininity. Moving through these playful realms, my creatures live to tell the tale of mortal reaction and understanding.โ€

โ€œPrinted pattern, painted gesture, and contour line drawing form the backbone of my current process. Biological, geological, and atmospheric phenomena merge with patterns that evoke textiles, screens, and architecture. I am interested in the way that different treatments of marks in a painting can imply a variety of motions and sounds. My marks form a kind of visual static, similar to the repeated crackling you would hear on a gramophone. I paint around the subject to invert the foreground from the background. This inversion is a metaphor for nature within and without the subjects. Some subjects are recognizable forms; a moth, a rainbow, a patch of clovers; while others are abstractions that probe their sensory environment. My color palette often collates glazy burnt oranges with soft, cool tones of near white. This is a perceptual tool I use to enhance the saturation of the near-opposite color.โ€

โ€œMy paintings capture the obscurities of the nighttime. They include reflective elements and a natural yet constructed space. Through saturated contrasting colors, the paintings become a dramatization of the night. The spaces displace the viewer and cause difficultly navigating. The nocturnal hours have an enigmatic allure that is translated into my paintings for the viewer to indulge in. The empty spaces and abstract reflections create a romanticized version of what can be mundane, along with a twinge of unsettlement.โ€

โ€œMy work is centered around my interest in art history and craft while incorporating personal symbols and forms. My study of textiles, medieval manuscripts, and Islamic art and architecture has led to my interest in pattern. I layer detailed figures and patterns to manipulate spatial dynamics. My work is mainly acrylic and oil paintings on canvas or wood panels. As of recently, I have experimented with painting on found materials. I also pipe paint onto surfaces, similar to the technique of creating mehndi (henna) tattoos. I draw upon my experiences of coming from a mixed Hispanic and Afghan family, and the recurring imagery of those cultures that has accompanied me throughout my life. The themes of my work deal with identity, family, appropriation, ornamentation, and power.โ€

โ€œAs a conceptual artist, I work in forms including public art, interactive installations, and sculptures with video and sound elements. My interests include social engagement and disruptive interventions that challenge biased societal structures. The subject matter spans topics from climate change and homoeroticism in sports to white supremacy/delusion. My work gives visual form to oppressive practices, forcing viewers upholding these practices to confront their discomfort and produce behavioral change. Iโ€™m interested in contributing to systems and structures of care. I coined the term conducive architecture to describe functional forms that heal rather than harm. This is the opposite of hostile architecture, such as the spikes on ledges or window sills used in most cities as an exclusionary design tactic to prevent poor people of color from resting, an activity criminalized as โ€œloitering.โ€ My work is a respite, an offering of support to meet our society's basic needs.โ€

โ€œMy oil paintings commemorate significant personal and emotional milestones involving: joy, happiness, loss, and grief. My skyscapes are inspired by phenomena of light and the perception of color. They are aligned in fragments that confront mortality as the viewer moves along the piece. The landscape is abstracted by a shift in perspective of the horizon line when turned on its vertical axis, and in doing so I allow the sky to relate to the physical body. My work conceptualizes the way we quantify time in an attempt to preserve fleeting moments.โ€

โ€œMy bodyโ€™s essenceโ€”the couple pounds I canโ€™t shake, the wrinkles I fear will grow, the scars highlighting my skinโ€”is captured by crossing red threads, plush fabrics, and textural explorations across the materialโ€™s surface. Rudimentary hand stitching focuses my contemplation on the nuances of identity, physicality, and human connections. Needle and thread form a tenuous bond between found objects and unassuming textiles, creating a depth of personality and narrative. Often the work seems literally to be โ€œhanging by a threadโ€ as materials precariously weave, wrap, or pull against one another into corporeal postures. My work is developed through intersections of girlhood and romanticism, and I lean into the personification of the vessel as an individual in its own right. Haptic traces of threads, linguistic expressions and objects rooted in cultural resonance animate themselves into entities that exist beyond me.โ€

โ€œPhotographs are vessels of time, moments lingering indefinitely, portals through which we can traverse the dimensions of time and space. I feel the urge to document places with human presence and intervention. I seek out moments in time that are on the verge of becoming obsolete, often juxtaposed with indulgent or hedonistic objects such as ci******es, alcohol, and birthday cake. I live for encountering moments of weirdness, a broken bottle of beet juice on a grocery store floor, a C**t 45 bottle as a flower vase, and cheetah print underwear. I fuse these photographs through collage in Photoshop. I flirt with the notion of a photographic print as a sculpture, exploring themes of materiality, temporality, and spatiality. Through these explorations I form temporal pauses and fabricated memories.โ€

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the "Lenses: Youth FX Photo Presentationโ€ and to the seven local high school students who presented their work inspired by the late photojournalist Gordon Park: Audrey Finck, Zyaire J. Gaddy, Jazlyn Gorousingh, Lyndsey Heyliger, Noah Hotaling, Jace Privott, and Olivia Rose for sharing your vision with all of us.

Working with Youth FX in Albanyโ€™s South End, they documented a changing environment, depictions of Black women in mass media and culture, and their own urban landscape.
The event was sponsored by Youth FX, the Albany Institute of History and Art, the University Art Museum, UAlbanyโ€™s College of Arts and Sciences, and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

Gracelee Lawrence makes sculpture that occupies a โ€œtransfigurative space between physical and digital realityโ€ by taking digital scans of her body, rendering them into a 3D digital model, and then printing them in three dimensions so they exist in our physical world. The shapes of her sculpture map and divide the territory of the body into segments that fit seamlessly together within a composite grid.

Come visit to see work by Lawrence and all the artists on view in โ€œBody Maps: Works from the University at Albany Fine Art Collections in Conversation with Past Exhibiting Artistsโ€:
