Art Pop-up: Monica Lie

The month long art Pop-up by Monica Lie (instagram.com/luxmondi) offered a gentle pause from the noise of everyday life. A self-confessed neutralist, Monica creates art that reflects stillness and restfulness for the soul. Her work is characterised by muted palettes soft flowing brushstrokes and the raw texture of exposed linen creating a quiet sense of balance and calm.

In a world that constantly encourages more doing and more becoming her art celebrates restraint. There is beauty in holding back in saying less and in allowing space to remain open and unfinished. Her pieces embrace vulnerability and imperfection reminding us that simplicity can be deeply grounding and that wholeness does not always require completion.

The pop-up also featured a private open night where guests were invited to an intimate viewing of her collection. It was a relaxed and reflective evening offering time to slow down connect with the art and experience the quiet strength that runs through Monica’s practice.
