On March 16 of this year, 28-year-old Linjie Deng, a Chinese conceptual artist, was attacked at the 86th Street subway station while being referred to as yellow. Deciding right then and there to reclaim the Asian slur, the artist started working on three pieces that feature yellow as the main color and seek to pay respect to the pain that his own community has felt in recent months.

As acts of anti-Asian violence skyrocket around the country, Deng has been hard at work on a new exhibition, now on view at Carlton Fine Arts Ltd. at 543 Madison Avenue. Titled Asian Art SPA, the show is on view through May 24.
