This act of reclamation serves not just as an artistic expression but as a healing process...
N.Smith Gallery is delighted to present Queen Mother of the West – Louise Zhang's first solo exhibition with the gallery.
Conscious of how cultural symbols have been exoticized by Western cultures, Louise’s new exhibition reclaims the aesthetics of oriental chinoiserie, transforming them again into a powerful medium of healing and self exploration as a Chinese-Australian artist.
