Michi Meko: While I'm Here...A Different South

July 13 - September 10,2023

From Artpace: "In his exhibition, While I'm Here...A Different South, Michi Meko employs paintings to convey his quest for transcendence, exploring both the challenges and blessings encountered along his journey. Through two expansive artworks, the artist utilizes landscapes as a symbolic representation of his psyche. Drawing inspiration from the Texan terrain, which embodies both harshness and beauty, these paintings serve as a profound self-portrait, inviting viewers to delve into the artist's inner world and contemplate their own paths. Alongside these captivating pieces, another wall is adorned with five small black paintings. These works provide a sense of calm amidst the chaos, acting as a deliberate counterpoint to the larger artworks. They serve as a manufactured transcendence, offering solace and tranquility in a realm that feels unattainable. Together, the exhibition presents a multidimensional exploration of the artist's journey, inviting viewers to engage with their own contemplations and reflections on their personal journeys and transcendence."
