SUMMARY:Voice in Stone\, by Anping Liu
DESCRIPTION:VOICE IN STONE\nVoice in Stone features hand-carved stone seals inspired by both Eastern and Western cultures. Through seal impressions and related artwork\, the exhibition highlights the beauty of Chinese seal carving\, an art form with a history of more than two thousand years. \nOpening Reception\, September 18\, 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nOn view during gallery hours\, Mon-Sat 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM\, Sun 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM\n \nAbout the Artist\nDr. Anping Liu was born into a family in China that valued traditional culture. From a young age\, he showed a strong interest in art\, often reading and drawing at home. \nIn 1985\, Anping came to the United States as a graduate student. After earning a Ph.D. in economics\, he moved to New York State and worked in state government for many years. After his children grew up and left home\, he returned to his artistic passions\, studying Chinese painting\, calligraphy\, and poetry under the guidance of a longtime friend\, Professor Lefu Gu\, an accomplished painter and visiting professor at Union College and College of Saint Rose. \nOver the past decade\, Dr. Liu has immersed himself in the four pillars of Chinese literati art: painting\, poetry\, calligraphy\, and seal carving. He has carved around 50 traditional seals\, some of which are included in his work samples. \nAn active member of the Chinese Community Center (CCC)\, Dr. Liu volunteers to create and display Chinese paintings and calligraphy during major festivals and visits local public schools to demonstrate Chinese art. He has taught painting to both children and adults. \nHours and Location\nThe exhibit can viewed whenever the New York Folklore Shop and Gallery are open. \nNew York Folklore is located at 129 Jay Street\, Schenectady\, on the Jay Street Marketplace pedestrian mall. \nThe gallery is fully wheelchair accessible with a foldout ramp. \nThe gallery is open Monday through Saturday\, 10AM to 4PM\, and Sundays 10AM to 2PM. \nPlease call 518-346-7008\, email at info@nyfolklore.org for additional information. \nParking in downtown Schenectady is free on weekends and after six.
