The Iowa Watercolor
Society was organized in 1977 by a small group of enthusiastic watercolorists led by Joe Messner of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Today, the IWS draws members from all over the state of Iowa and recently
expanded to include surrounding states.

“LONGING FOR LONGING” is a Solo Exhibition of the Taiwanese artist Wan-Yen Hsieh. She
was born in Taiwan, studied Chinese Literature at the National Taiwan University in Taipei and Fine
Art at the University Carl von Ossietzky in the 90's in Oldenburg Germany and has been living
since 2005 in Norden-City, on the Nordsee coast.
There are in total five series of paintings and Photographs to be seen in this exhibition.
Hsieh's paintings present one side of an exactly constructed geometry and the other side a free
abstraction. Her longing for something uncertain could be perceived in both trends of her works.
“COLOURFUL HAIKUS”, “SPACETIME” and “LONGING FOR LONGING” are the three series
of paintings.
