Exhibition Highlights Showing together and sharing walls for the first time in a dual presentation, this display includes over forty paintings rendered by both artists. Also featured in the exhibition are six exquisite one-of-a-kind bronze sculptures executed by Flora Fong that reflect the realm of the artist’s iconography. Juxtaposing the work of Flora and Li, one can see how they create their own yin and yang renditions of luminosity and darkness, vivacity and stillness, clarity and blurriness… The mother and son relationship has sound foundations of unity, and harmony, yet, their artistic manifestos unfurl different paths and scenarios. Mother and son can never be confused with each other. While both share a common ancestry and a passion for art, their work reveals a marked contrast of styles and subject matters. Accompanying the exhibition is a full-color 36-page catalogue with an essay in English and Spanish by renowned Cuban professor, researcher and art critic, Yolanda Wood.
