Weil Gallery

We are pleased to present Hidden Gems II, featuring a rich selection of paintings, prints, and three-dimensional works drawn from the museum’s collection. This exhibition highlights many pieces that have not been previously displayed here, bringing long-unseen or quietly stored works into public view.

Spanning a wide range of styles, media, and periods, these artworks offer fresh insight into the depth and complexity of our holdings. Some may have been exhibited elsewhere, while others have remained in storage, awaiting their moment to be rediscovered. Together, they tell a broader story about the evolution of artistic practice, collecting, and the many narratives that exist just beyond the surface.

From bold abstractions and intimate studies to intricately crafted sculptures, Hidden Gems II invites visitors to explore the overlooked, the unexpected, and the quietly extraordinary within our collection.

This exhibition highlights the work of two Ukrainian artists whose creations embody heritage, memory, and hope.

Although distinct in style, their approaches complement each other. One artist explores abstraction through sweeping movement and vivid color, evoking the energy and spirit of a landscape in bloom. The other turns to flowers themselves, capturing their delicate forms and timeless symbolism with sensitivity and care.

Together, their work reflects both the dynamism and rootedness of Ukrainian culture, opening doors to stories of tradition, creativity, and renewal.

Larimore’s work is a vibrant fusion of cultures, techniques, and traditions. Born and raised in Shanghai, China, during a time of political unrest, her early exposure to art came through private lessons before her education was interrupted by years of labor on a communal rice farm. When Chinese universities reopened in 1979, she was accepted into the prestigious School of Art at the University of Shanghai, where she earned her B.A. in Art & Design in 1982. She later worked as an art designer in Shanghai before moving to the United States to pursue an M.A. in Fine Arts at Purdue University, which she received in 1989.

Her artistic vision merges the refined lines and motifs of classical Chinese painting with the expressive color and freedom of Western modernism. A formative visit to the Art Institute of Chicago introduced her to the works of van Gogh, Monet, Matisse, and Pollock—an experience that deeply shaped her practice. As she explains, “Every time I pick up my charcoal or my paintbrush, I am combining the traditions I grew up with and the possibilities I discovered here.”

Based in Indiana for much of her career, Larimore also shared her passion through decades of teaching in local schools and community art programs. Her work has been exhibited in Shanghai, Tokyo, Indianapolis, Chicago, Washington, DC, and throughout Indiana.

Shanghai Indiana Fusion celebrates an artistic journey shaped by resilience, reinvention, and the dynamic blending of East and West.
