Charles Yuen: Frequency Surfing


JJ Murphy Gallery, 53 Stanton Street, Lower East Side, Manhattan

Through October 5


This newish gallery is the site of a solo exhibition by one of the original members of the influential Godzilla: Asian American Arts Network, Charles Yuen. His brash, textured canvas works have a dreamlike quality that distills seemingly simple compositions into layered scenes that occupy your imagination. “Shoulder Assist” (2023) and “This Again” (2023) are good examples of his language cutting to the core of what almost feels like various artistic anxieties. In the former, a figure sits atop another’s shoulders as they stare at a forest of ladders and dots that form the roots of a gesturally outlined forest, and in the other, a figure catches fire while their companion appears helpless to do much of anything with its ladder arms. Paint often seems to be in flux on his surfaces and the artist refuses purity in favor of a sometimes muddy line that produces a sense of speed, as if the artist was jotting something down before the idea slipped away. —HV

Hyperallergic Review

by John Yau

"Yuen’s ambiguous works resist a simple or anecdotal reading while speaking to our apprehensions and paranoia."
