Lucy Villeneuve 27, from East Hampton, has been painting since childhood. In her works, this dialogue is translated into a type of dance, a visual conversation between her and whatever is responding on the canvas.  

I work with the elements of Taoism and specifically the Wu Wei, the art of nondoing, and try to focus on the experience of painting rather than the work itself. Each shape feels intentional yet just out of my grasp, a slippery in-betweenness, something short of being too far or not enough. 
In these works, I focused on unfolding my visual language, telling a story of communion.
