Practice

Underpinning both Lập Xuân’s art and personal ethic is a belief in the intangible and heartfelt connections between people. The overarching preoccupation of her art is with the tacit ambiguity of selfhood, as it operates in both mind and environment. Each of her works invites the viewer to participate in a sensory experience, to write his own part and in turn, open up new and intimate dialogues. Her current body of work encompasses sculpture, drawing, installation, performance and time-based media.
