Untitled (Land Studies) IV

Lui Medina (b. 1981) continues to interrogate form and figure using landscapes as framework. From geologic to geographical forms, her works in recent exhibitions like The Notion of the Edge (2018) and Where does landscape begin? (2016), both at Artinformal, explore the plasticity of topographies and how expanses can become isolated parcels, islands into sprawls, landscapes without landmarks, mainly with the use of graphite. This interest in shapes and the organic has in turn also shaped the canvases and materials that she uses for her drawings and paintings. She has been part of exhibitions at the Langgeng Art Foundation in Jogjakarta (2017), Mind Set Art Center in Taipei (2016), and Equator Art Projects in Singapore (2015). In 2018, she was artist-in-residence at Fusion/ Inaudita in Turin, Italy.
