Window into the Past
Freda Lee-McCann
In this exhibition, artist Freda Lee-McCann explains how to read a Chinese Painting. It is quite different from reading a European or non-Asian work. A Chinese landscape painting is not a snap shot but a journey where there is no vanishing point, no perspective with multiple light sources. The painting is read from right to left when it’s in a horizontal orientation and from bottom to top in a vertical orientation.

The works offered in this exhibition have emerged from the canyons of the American Desert Southwest. The artists are inspired by the undulating movement in the sensual curvilinear grace of canyonscapes, by the patterns created by the forces of nature, by the formations of weathered rock eroded by wind and water, and by the multi-hued light reflected and re-reflected off canyon walls.
