“What drives me to paint is that I can't imagine my life without it.”

While he made final preparations for the work that is on display in Oscar yi Hou: East of sun, west of moon, we visited @oscyhou in his studio. In this episode of Reclaimed, we discuss the themes of his first solo exhibition, how the histories of Chinese and East Asian people inform his work, and not accepting visibility for visibility’s sake.

Our Reclaimed series focuses on art as a tool to reclaim traditional narratives of lived experience. An effort to highlight and empower groups that have been left out, stigmatized, and misrepresented. Follow along for a celebration of our differences and stride towards collective healing and social progress.

Experience Oscar yi Hou: East of sun, west of moon through September 17.
