Dik Liu’s recent paintings depict trolls, gnomes, and goblins that appear joyous and eternally optimistic. These creatures stand in solitude, but they are far from lonely; their hearts are chaperoned by strange secrets. These creatures are bathed in a sweet, ambrosial light and seem inexplicably content in their misty, atmospheric setting.
