Loy is associated with a contemporary German painting movement loosely referred to as the New Leipzig School, and as one of the few women members of the group, her dream-like narratives express an intimate point of view. Her solo show, titled Souvenir, includes a selection of recent paintings and new works on paper. Her husband Neo Rauch is often referred to as the principal artist of the New Leipzig School. All friends and members of Houston-Leipzig are cordially invited to the opening reception. Click here for more information.
