I love it when you lie

July 7 - 28, 2006

In "I Love it When You Lie," artist Lui Medina assumes the role of a voyeur in her photographs and paintings, deftly interpreting her friends' social rituals of display. Neither subversive nor overtly erotic, the works frame the unlikeliest but highly charged imageries, asserting that the artist's process as enquiry into her own personal restraint. She sees her works as peepholes that mimic the idea of a looking glass or as portals into an alternate reality or the subconscious, offering a view that is oblique, rudimentary and wildly surprising.
