The works are part of group exhibition curated by Reni Gower, Professor in the Painting and Printmaking Department at Virginia Commonwealth University. "Papercuts" features an international roster of artists using all manner of tools and paper to create works that range from narrative commentaries to complex structural abstractions. The works are bold contemporary statements that celebrate the subtle nuance of the artist's hand through a process that traces its origins to 6th century China. Light, shadow, and color play key roles, transforming this ancient technique into dynamic installations filled with delicate illusions.
Congratulations to Lenka for continuing to pursue a distinct and relevant body of work that is a bold reflection of our contemporary times.
