Unveil Gallery is excited to announce A Clover and One Bee, an evocative group exhibition opening on January 11, 2025, at its Irvine Space. This dynamic showcase brings six artists— Alex Paik, Lauren Goldenberg Longoria, Mimi Ding, Greg Eberhardt, Jiang Xiaohan, and Sebastian Loo—each presenting works that span a range of mediums, from intricate paper-based installations to paintings and ink-and-color compositions on Xuan paper.
Taking inspiration from Emily Dickinson’s poetic phrase, “a clover and one bee”, the exhibition delves into the profound relationship between creators and their creations, celebrating the transformative power of imagination and the symbiotic nature of the artistic process. Each participating artist examines the delicate balance between simplicity and complexity, offering works that invite introspection and connection.
The works in A Clover and One Bee present a compelling dialogue about interdependence—between medium and maker, idea and execution, and artist and viewer. For the creators, art is not just an output but a process of mutual sustenance, a reflection of their personal journeys, and a means to navigate emotional landscapes. As bees pollinate clovers, artists nurture their creativity, drawing life and vitality from their practice while simultaneously enriching the cultural.
