Located at 100 N Chestnut Street, Suite 243, Champaign, IL. 61820 Lydia Khuri transforms everyday objects and spaces into their own enigmatic worlds through formal and exploratory processes of art making. Chairs converse as they grow from trees, houses fall into crevices, a collection of fruit ascends to the heavens. The materials themselves delimit both the process and the final world. Works on wood panel can stand up to more addition and subtraction than works on paper. The water-based media Lydia uses also have their own character– gouache brilliant, flat, and sensitive; ink ancient and unforgiving; acrylic a jack of all trades. Together they collaborate and vie until each piece is saturated with its own meaning and harmony of color, line, shape, and illusion of space.
