Gaa Gallery is pleased to present Lions & Lambs, a solo exhibition of ceramic sculptures by Chicago-based artist, Emily Yong Beck. Juxtaposing propaganda cartoons and reinterpretations of European and Asian ceramics, Lions & Lambs is a rigorous and aesthetically expansive examination of cuteness culture. This will be Yong Beck's first solo exhibition with the gallery and will run through August 28, with an opening reception on Friday, August 5, from 6 - 8 pm.
For the 2022 edition of NADA New York, Gaa Gallery is pleased to exhibit new works by Kaylie Kaitschuck and Emily Yong Beck. In pairing Kaitschuck’s yarn and felt embroideries and Yong Beck’s hand-built ceramic sculptures, this presentation engages a tactile and maximal dialogue on the intersections of craft, humor, identity, and culture. Please join us May 5–8 at Pier 36 - 299 South St, New York, NY 10002.
