Artist talk with Pearl C Hsiung

Denison’s Studio Art program welcomes Pearl C Hsiung presenting an artist talk.

Painter and video artist Hsiung makes work exploring states of physical and metaphysical metamorphosis. Often, the subjects of her works are mutating landscapes and transmogrifying first-person narratives. She is interested in the prospect of the universe’s endless transformations. Hsiung received her Bachelor of Arts at the University of California, Los Angeles (1997) and her Master of Fine Arts at Goldsmiths College, London (2004). Hsiung has had solo exhibitions at Max Wigram Gallery, London (2006) and Steve Turner Contemporary, Los Angeles (2007, 2010). Hsiung’s work has been featured in group exhibitions including “Bitch Is The New Black,” Honor Fraser, Los Angeles (2009), “Acclimatation,” Villa Arson, France (2008), “Humor Us,” Los Angeles Municipal Arts Gallery (2007); 2006 “California Biennial and Disorderly Conduct: Art in Tumultuous Times” (2008) both at the Orange County Museum of Art; “2006 Busan Biennale,” South Korea and “Expander,” Royal Academy of Fine Arts, London (2005). Hsiung will be exhibiting in an upcoming solo show at the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College (2011).
