Offset from the bustle of the city and the winding hallways that lead to Visitor Welcome Center, Pearl C. Hsiung’s recent paintings offer a meditative respite, and ultimately a call for active self-reflection. The artist has honed a technique of mixing somber and electric hues, which she carefully drags and flattens into each other in tiered configurations. Though inherently abstract, these areas are cut through by bright, downward-plunging shafts that suggest waterfalls pouring through mountainous landscapes, albeit in dreamlike Technicolor.
