Overview

Anshun Countenance presents a compelling dialogue between ancestral heritage and contemporary artistic expression. This solo exhibition by emerging young artist Daisy Liu explores the living traditions of Anshun, a historic region in Southwest China renowned for its distinctive Tunpu culture and intricate craftsmanship, and their lasting impacts on her.

Through a diverse range of media including installations, oil on canvas, and tactile mixed media, the exhibition examines how pieces of Anshun, ranging from its unique street foods to hand-dyed batik, can be re-contextualized within a contemporary global framework. Together, these works invest the idea of "countenance"—the face of a place, the identity of its people, and the enduring spirit of a cultural heritage brought to the heart of New York City.
