Exhibits & Events

Friday, September 6, 2024, 4:30pm - 7pm at the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery, Haverford College, please join us for a talk with artist Ying Li and critic Barry Schwabsky, followed by a reception to mark the opening of the exhibition Weather Report.

The Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery and Gross McCleaf Gallery present Weather Report, a two-part exhibition of new paintings by Ying Li, the Phlyssa Koshland Professor of Fine Arts at Haverford College. Painted en plein air across residencies in Florida, Virginia, and Northern Ireland from 2021 to 2024, Li’s densely layered atmospheric images draw the viewer in, inspiring us to touch and perhaps even taste the air in the sweeping landscapes she depicts. Pushing her high-volume oil paint aesthetic to the place where abstraction beautifully crashes back into representation, Li’s work forecasts our ever-shifting relationships with the landscapes that surround us.

Weather Report is accompanied by a publication featuring Ying Li’s Intransitive Representations, an incisive new essay on Li’s work by Barry Schwabsky, art critic for The Nation and co-editor of international reviews for Artforum.
