The Honor Fraser Gallery in Venice is currently exhibiting the works of Chinese-born artist Yi Chen. Chen creates expressionist renderings of plastic, photogenic figures. Think Chaim Soutine and Modigliani crashing a runway show and cutting and splicing the fashion beauties on stage through paint and canvas. The exhibit runs until May 16.
