Crystal Liu, "On a Day So Calm, 'as it got dark, the water stopped'," 2006, ink, marker, gouache, and collage on paper, 15 x 15 inches
San Francisco–based artist Crystal Liu imbues the flora and fauna in her work with imaginative narratives and sparse sophistication, offering a refreshing alternative to the “cute overload” imagery endemic to much contemporary art about “nature.”
