We're happy to welcome Ravit Lazer to Artaxis. This is her work titled "Ruins”. She writes, "My work is grounded in a local-cultural-political context and with it I reach to touch the uneasy parting lines that surround me: borders, memories, roads and territory, and blind spots that we choose not to see, whether they are physical or conceptual. These parting lines are blended with the thoughts of what is private and public, of home as a sociocultural concept, and meditations on separation, segregation, destruction, human remains, and balances of power."

Another important addition to our international membership, Saint Ngeli Mbembo from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mbembo's ceramic work is uniquely expressive, blending familiar ceramic techniques and materials with tendencies and sensibilities visible in both traditional and contemporary African art. The artist's simplest works are defined by their compelling sense of form, color, and pattern. The more complex pieces, in a very compelling fashion, do not offer closure or conclusions but instead provide multiple points of visual exploration with a palpable sense of instinctual urgency. Welcome!!!! https://artaxis.org/saint-ngeli-mbembo/

Today we are very, very pleased to welcome a new international member, Liu Xi from China!! Liu Xi recently took a silver prize at the Taiwan biennale and rightly so. Xi successfully works in numerous idioms, and the intoxicating density of her forms, patterns, and textures give her art a powerful sense of physical and visual strength. We are very pleased to welcome this accomplished artist to Artaxis!
