Yi Gallery is pleased to present Touch, an online exhibition coinciding with Mother’s Day. The show features works by Carolyn Oberst, Madeline Donahue, Kati Verebics, Dhanashree Gadiyar and Etty Yaniv. While different in their choices of medium and subject, the five artist moms offer a sense of mutual joy and an openness to experiment by using colors, lines, shapes and a touch of humor. Some paint about the many aspects of the rich, messy and overwhelming experience of motherhood, while others tackle difficult subjects and emotions, such as climate change and pain through metaphorical abstraction. Challenging limitations on the depiction of artist-mothers, we present this wide-ranging selection to illustrate the diversity of art emerging from moms’ studios today.
