Asian Art SPA, a new exhibition of works inspired by the Asian violence in America by conceptual Chinese artist, Linjie Deng, is now showing at Carlton Fine Arts Ltd.’s location at 543 Madison Avenue from today through May 24th.

Asian Art SPA features a selection of different works that Deng created after he was attacked at a New York street subway station. His attacker referred to him as yellow while shoving him to the ground therefore these three works are all yellow, including I am White, Black and Asian, in which a panda is depicted holding two gunsand I don’t like the way he looked at me either. The proceeds from these works will be donated to Think!Chinatown.

Apart from these works, Deng also showcases the Yin-Yang Series, a selection of contemporary calligraphy works consisting of a set of mutually opposing and coexisting words such as freedom and hope, reflecting the different perspective of Eastern and Western cultures during the last year,
