Last chance to experience Oscar yi Hou: East of sun, west of moon!
As @hyperallergic recently wrote, “[yi Hou’s] gutsy canvases render him and his loved ones with their gazes fixed firmly on the viewer, sometimes assuming historically White roles to confront the foundations of American “belonging,” other times calling back to the legacies of East Asian art, from actor Bruce Lee to a Qing Dynasty jade carving in the Brooklyn Museum’s collection.”
The painting shown here exemplifies this approach by citing a set of bronze plaques on view in our Arts of Asia galleries, as well as the 1957 movie Sayonara. Yi Hou’s friends replace the actor Marlon Brando and Miiko Taka, supplanting Sayonara’s relationship between an American GI and Japanese woman with that of two East Asian femmes, or queer people with feminine gender expressions. The title also refers to The World of Suzie Wong, a 1960 film that reinforces the stereotype of the submissive Asian woman rescued by the American expatriate man.
See 11 of the artist’s vibrant and layered paintings before the exhibition closes on September 17.
