Fort Works Art presents Coquette, artist Dan Lam’s first solo exhibition. Coquette will feature all-new large-scale installation works. Coupled with this will be multiple “drippy” sculptures that she has become known for, that she will position in various “environments" throughout the gallery.
In today’s visual climate, it is extraordinarily rare to see an image that is unique. Even more so, for something to make you stop and stare. Dan Lam’s work does just that. Her use of color and vibrancy attracts the eye, but it is the ambiguous, multi-textural qualities that elicit powerful reactions from the viewer. Some are turned off, others delighted by these “drippy things.” This extreme contrast is one of the things that makes her work so powerful. What are these creature- like forms? How are they made? What are they? Can I touch it? Dan Lam’s work is quite obviously provocative.
There will be an opening reception on Friday, August 6 from 6-11 pm.
