‘Art is about uplifting people. About making them happy. Art is about what is best in the world.’
— Ginger Lai

About The World Between:

Dr. Ginger Lai was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan. She immigrated to the US when she was sixteen years old and currently resides in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Lai is a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, earning a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Southern California and a doctorate in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. Dr. Lai integrates her therapy background in her art to suit the best of visual perceptions that engage with a unique expression to the world around us.

To Dr. Lai, Art expresses what we can’t say, no matter how expressive our vocabulary. Art and the artists who create it are boundless, unfettered by rules, exploring an expansive range of ideas that often seem contradictory and in opposition. In this show the artist explores two extremes inspired by an assortment of varied stimuli – from non-traditional sound baths to millennia’s old practice of daily meditation. The artist explores the abstract in oil and glitter alongside natural gemstones of custom jewelry and their contra points – cut and polished jewelry and the ordered symmetry of Plato’s perfect forms captured in pen and ink works of Sacred Geometry. From these opposing goalposts, the artist establishes a framework of boundaries within which a host of future possibilities arise. Here are two worlds at opposite ends of visual perceptions, signposts for a future between the abstract and the ordered. A stepping stone for exploring The World Between.
