Juxtapoz Magazine - "Prologue: Freer than the wind": Yameng Lee Thorp @ pt.2 Gallery, Oakland
Briefly

"Yameng Lee Thorp's first solo exhibition at pt.2 Gallery features large-scale paintings that evoke a sense of wildness and freedom through abstract movements and forms."
"Lee Thorp's artistic process includes contradictions—raw yet refined, spontaneous yet deliberate—inviting reflection on life's cyclical nature with resilience and fragility coexisting."
"Her work explores cultural memory and resilience, influenced by her childhood experiences of moving from China to South Africa, navigating identity complexities and belonging."
"At the core, Lee Thorp's practice embodies intergenerational healing, blending influences from her grandmother’s traditional ink paintings with her personal narrative to create a conversation across generations."
