Four Artists Challenge Perception at Alexander Berggruen
A new exhibition at Alexander Berggruen's gallery in New York showcases the works of artists Baoying Huang, Alexandria Mento, Nina Molloy, and Cate Pasquarelli. This collection of paintings and sculptures invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions. By employing reflections, transparency, digital elements, and unexpected nuances, the artworks blur the lines between reality and perception. Baoying Huang's pieces, in particular, explore layered spaces within domestic and consumer settings, often inspired by photographs taken through café and restaurant windows. In her piece Pickled Lemon Tree, a lemon tree is depicted in front of a café window, partially hidden by reflections.
