Hua Nian: New Paintings March 2, 2010

New Paintings by Hua Nian will be on view in the McLean County Arts Center's Armstrong Gallery. Using acrylic paint and canvas, Hua Nian makes abstract paintings that make reference to images and marks found in primitive art and archaeological excavations. She integrates these abstract images with an intuitive handling of color to create remarkably nuanced and balanced compositions. Hua Nian lives in Urbana, Illinois. She has been actively making and exhibiting her paintings since 1996
