Artist Homer Shew talks about his practice and work in group exhibition See and Be Seen II on Instagram Live:
New York-based artist Homer Shew paints portraits of Asian Americans that are, in his father’s words, “improper subjects for oil painting.” As a Chinese American, Shew’s practice is subjective, and intimately deals with the re-aestheticization and de-caricaturization of Asian faces. The paintings included in the exhibition depict fellow artists who are deeply invested in showing their peers. Shew is represented by Kiang Malingue, Hong Kong.
