Lucy Liu: Hard Feelings
May 14 – June 6, 2026
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 14, 6-8pm
120 East 65th Street, NYC
Alisan Fine Arts is pleased to present Hard Feelings, a solo exhibition of paintings by Lucy Liu opening May 14. Centered on works from her ongoing what was series, the exhibition explores the emotional and psychological terrain of memory, with particular attention to family, cultural inheritance, and the shifting nature of personal history.
The title, Hard Feelings, resists a singular interpretation, pointing instead to the difficulty of feeling itself—layered, uneven, and at times inaccessible. Liu’s paintings trace this complexity, holding tensions between attachment and distance, forgiveness and compassion, while inviting viewers to reflect on how the past persists in the present.

Whispers of the Unseen: In Resonance
Closing Saturday, May 9, 2026
There’s still time to experience Whispers of the Unseen: In Resonance before it closes on Saturday, May 9! Featuring three Macau-born artists—Wong Weng Cheong, Rusty Fox, and Heidi Lau—the exhibition brings together distinct practices in printmaking, photography, and ceramic sculpture. Though their approaches differ, each artist shares a quiet, introspective sensibility that whispers rather than declares. Belonging to the same generation and shaped by similar cultural landscapes, their artistic languages diverge, yet the spiritual undercurrents of their works resonate within a shared field.
