Impermanence in Focus: Loy Luo Opens “Anitya – Windows Through Windows” in NYC
New York, August 16, 2025 – Loy Luo Space is proud to present Anitya – Windows Through Windows, a solo exhibition by artist Loy Luo, on view from August 16 to September 18, 2025. Centered on a quartet of celadon-hued panels and a mixed-media window-frame installation, the show merges the Buddhist concept of anitya (impermanence) with a refined contemporary visual language, exploring the subtle intersections of time, being, and perception.
Entering the gallery feels like standing before a silent window. Light glides across surfaces, textures ripple like currents beneath still water. The window is not only a frame for an image but a threshold between inner and outer worlds, between the visible and the invisible. By pairing a physical wooden frame with the illusion of painted depth, Luo invites viewers to experience presence as something simultaneously projected, reflected, and enveloped.
Anitya—meaning impermanence—is one of Buddhism’s Three Marks of Existence, alongside dukkha (suffering) and anatta (non-self). In Luo’s work, this truth unfolds through shifting light, mutable emotion, and even the gradual transformation of static elements like wood and wall. Every encounter is singular, because each moment exists only now.

/IMAGE I: Celadon Window, Mixed Media on Wood, 48“X60”X4pieces, 2021.
Image description: A quartet of paintings in layered turquoise and aqua draws the viewer into a space of quiet transformation. Translucent veils of color are broken by faint scratches, flecks, and fragments—like weathered memories surfacing through time. These subtle irregularities evoke erosion, patina, and the slow touch of history, while each panel maintains its own rhythm. Light, space, and even temperature become part of the work, so that every viewing is unique—an evolving dialogue between the viewer and the shifting life of the paintings.
