2024 post:
Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. When you first see this 2010 painting by Chinese artist Zhigang Tang, you may think it’s entirely abstract. Close looking reveals that the marks and streams of paint make up the scene of a car crash, with two figures clutching one another in the foreground. Tang’s art encourages viewers to pay more attention to images than we typically do, opening up time and space for understanding and empathy.
