Olympia is pleased to announce Wait Here, a solo exhibition of fifteen new egg tempera paintings and an artist’s book by Lee Maxey. This is Maxey's second solo exhibition with Olympia. 
Paranoia underlies Maxey’s new body of work. Painted in a matter-of-fact naturalism, ordinary objects are filled with an ambiguous, authoritative presence. Games like pick-up sticks and tricky triangle correlate with the weight and composition of religious iconography, while the unsettling gaze of a blood-eyed pigeon encourages us to decipher hidden messages in the work. Only one painting depicts a human figure – a suited man with his hand raised – but a moralizing, irrational force lingers over every subject depicted. 
The titles of the works are named after common-place instructions like Take it from Here, Listen Carefully, and Move Ahead, sending viewers through a maze of riddles and paradoxes. Apocalyptic language is pushed into new, yet wholly familiar scenes. 
Also included in the exhibition is Maxey's artist’s book, My Character Notebook, an introspective pastiche of childhood memories and present day imagery in the form of an unbound personal scrapbook. Through a juxtaposition of penmanship exercises from elementary school with recent drawings and paintings, Maxey creates a biographical sketch; exploring her own indoctrination into Christian Evangelicalism, the nature of meaning-making, fear, and one’s own agency in the world. 
The works in Wait Here examine the origins of the American psychological experience. Made years after leaving the religious community, Maxey captures the fear that accompanies the doomsday narratives of her childhood and the anxious mindset that they cultivate. By borrowing as much from her own experiences as the visual details of everyday life, observational painting is transformed into talismans of a coded language, whose meanings are ultimately of one’s own creation.

With the increase of height, the floor area gradually shrinks, forming five major changes, this design not only considers structural stability, but also increases the aesthetic of the building. Historical and Cultural Values - Witnessing Historical Changes: The Empire State Building was built during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and its completion not only provided a large number of jobs in the United States at the time, but also marked the beginning of the rise of American industry and the peak of modern urban development. ​- Bearing cultural symbols: As one of the cultural symbols of the United States, the Empire State Building has appeared in many films, literature and art works, such as the film &quot;King Kong&quot;, further enhancing its global visibility and cultural influence.

Central Park

Fall Viewing Attractions

蓝星旅行者

Walking through New York&#39;s Central Park, it seems to fall into the gentle cracks of the steel forest. Morning light penetrates the forest, spreads powder and white brocade on the cherry blossom avenue, the wind is outdated petals fall, and the corners of the skyscraper soften into a background sound in the flower shadow. The city code on the bench is the most moving. The cold chair was stroked by the fingertips, and the short text on the nameplate hid the New Yorker&#39;s temperature: &quot;Give my wife Carol, because she loves Central Park, and I love her&quot; - the separation of life, the young encounter, the mother and son bonding, all condensed into a dew in the wood grain. When high school students spread out books and laughed on the sheep lawn, and when the reciting of Shakespeare&rsquo;s poems drifted from Cherry Hill to the lake, the park became an emotional resonant box, full of human narratives that transcended language. In the afternoon, I closed my eyes in the Ramble Forest area. Bird song and stream sound woven into natural white noise, suddenly understand the deep meaning of Olmsted: this 3.4 million square meters of green lung, originally dedicated to &quot;the handicrafts of tired industrial workers&quot;, so that people who can not travel far can drink nature here. The boat house pier at dusk is the most magical, The wooden paddles smashed the red-stained lake, and the wild ducks swam through the reflection of Manhattan. The hustle and bustle of the city sank to the bottom, leaving only the breathing in the shadow of the oasis of the oars. &quot;When the whispers of the bench fell into the palms with the cherry blossom rain, I knew that the oasis in this concrete wasteland, It was New York&#39;s prose poem to the world. &quot;&nbsp;
