Zelene Jiang Schlosberg patriciates "Flowing-Her Form, Her Voice, Her Space" exhibition at The Research House for Asian Art (RHAA).
Unraveling presents an intricate composition where fractured architectural elements merge with human forms within expansive, dreamlike spaces. Stairs, a swimming pool, flying fish, luring figures, and a deep-sea creature converge, evoking a world where logic dissolves into poetic ambiguity. Balancing tension and transformation, the work invites viewers into a haunting
yet liberating vision of reality unraveling into boundless possibility.
Other works on view includes 6 works from Jiang Schlosberg's Microtales series and 2 landscape works each measure at 20x60x1.5 inches.
MicroTales is an ongoing series of intimate relief paintings by Zelene Jiang Schlosberg. Each work measures 8 × 6 × 1.5 inches—a scale resonant with the human body, like a face or cupped hands. Solitary figures occupy abstract planes, drawn from a diverse archive of references spanning historical artifacts, architectural fragments, and contemporary digital culture. Through subtle transformations of color, material, and texture, Schlosberg distills these sources into their essential forms, prioritizing emotional resonance over literal representation. Each piece functions like a visual haiku: a suspended moment that hints at a larger narrative, inviting viewers to imagine both what came before and what might follow.
Flowing-Her Form, Her Voice, Her Space
This exhibition centers on the diverse creative voices of women artists across sculpture, painting, and mixed media. Flowing: Her Form, Her Voice, Her Space seeks to illuminate the ways women shape, challenge, and reclaim their narratives through material and form. It is an exploration of identity in motion — where vulnerability becomes strength, where silence finds articulation, and where each gesture carries the weight of both resistance and renewal.
In bringing these works together, the exhibition creates a space where the personal becomes inseparable from the political, where softness and strength coexist in quiet tension, and where art serves as a vessel for identity, memory, and transformation. By honoring multiplicity and the deeply personal languages of making, Flowing invites viewers to enter a landscape where the boundaries of self and collective blur, and where the currents of creativity open pathways toward reimagined futures.
