Curated by Corinne Chaix, "The More You Look, The More You See" brings together artists Evan Maurer and Lhamo Yue Liu.
At Yiwei Gallery, we believe in nurturing connections among artists of diverse ages, genders, and origins. Evan Maurer and Lhamo Yue Liu, with their highly spiritual and investigative approach, exemplify the essence of this project.
While Evan explores European and American art, Surrealism, Native American Art, and African Art, Lhamo's work is influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.
Despite their different cultural explorations, they share a common belief—the interconnectedness of our world through spiritual energies.
