Summer Time by Chiaw-Weai Loo presents a delicate world of ink, watercolor, and Chinese brush painting on Xuan paper. Guided by a balance of control and freedom, Loo uses flowing brushstrokes, open space, and gentle color to create images that feel both playful and contemplative. Her work captures the warmth and simplicity of the season while inviting viewers to slow down, imagine, and find quiet stories within each composition.
This show will be on display on the Project Wall August 6th-September 16th.
