MARLENE YU FEATURED AT GEORGES BERGES GALLERY

Georges Bergès Gallery held an opening reception with a theme of The Feminine Sublime, curated by world-renowned art critic, poet, and historian Donald Kuspit, featuring abstract paintings by Alex Chowaniec, Carol Brown Goldberg, Hisako Kobayashi, Jill Krutick, Carol Ross, Sonia Stark, and Marlene Tseng Yu.

Works of the women artists were chosen for the exhibition due to their being “oceanic--wombcentric--one way or the other,” said Kuspit. In one of his essays Luspit explains the difference between “wombcentric and phallocentric art more fully, and show in some detail the oceanic character of the works in the exhibition.”

Internationally known Marlene Tseng Yu featured two of her 10 foot x 6 foot 

abstract murals from her earlier collection titled “Molten Lava in Circle” 1971, 

Molten Lava Series, Acrylic on canvas and ” Milky Way “1987

( space& universe series), Acrylic on canvas.  

Both paintings were from her collection at her Rainforest Art Foundation studio located in Long Island City.  The Marlene Yu Museum, located in Shreveport, LA is a second location maintained by her daughter Stephanie Yu Lusk. 

Marlene and her husband James offer the opportunity for artists to exhibit their work regarding nature with no buildings or people in any of the pieces.  The next exhibit will take place on May 3^rd with a theme of International Photographers and is free of charge to both the artists and public.
