Fay Ku will have a solo exhibition at The Contemporary Museum of Hawaii in Honolulu FACE ALL EYES, EYES ALL HANDS from February 11 to May 16th 2010. Intersections has invited the artist to come talk about her work on March 10th, 6 pm in the Art Building Auditorium
Ku was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1974 and immigrated to the United States shortly before her third birthday. She has an MFA from the Pratt Institute. Her intimate and precise draftsmanship opens up a fantastic world of personal folklore that examines the tension between whimsy and aggression. She composes her psychological narratives of young female protagonists engaged in alluring, but often disturbing situations, with a fluid of graphic sensibility and brilliant color patterning.
