Venue

Henry Art Gallery
Northeast Seattle, Seattle

Charlene Liu (b. 1975, Taiwan; based in Eugene, OR) creates paintings, prints, and mixed media installations that blend family histories, cultural references, and decorative patterns. Liu incorporates wide-ranging traditions into her imagery, drawing from nature, food, still life painting, and European and East Asian art and design. When combined, these references explore memory, heritage, and identity, challenging linear ideas of art history and resisting fixed categories.

For this inaugural mural presentation in the Henry’s Sculpture Court, Liu presents a lush, imagined landscape built from food-inspired forms. This work builds on her ongoing engagement with food as a means to locate culture and heritage amidst diaspora. Rendered in a fluid, multi-layered, visual language, this fantastical landscape offers a portal to reflect on how culinary traditions build belonging in place and playfully celebrates the importance of shared food experiences.
