OCA Wisconsin

OCA Wisconsin is proud to announce that from June 20 to November 15, 2026, the Lynden Sculpture Garden is featuring "Homecoming", an exhibit of sculptures by Warren King, a Chinese American artist whose work has been inspired by his personal and family journeys, as he explores his roots and Chinese American identity.

Warren King’s personal story is a Milwaukee intergenerational immigrant family story. He was born in Madison to Chinese immigrant parents, and the family settled in Brookfield. His father was a structural engineer who wanted Warren to follow his footsteps, and young Warren dutifully did so, getting degrees in structural engineering and then working in his father’s firm. But he found his calling later, using his skills to honor his roots and explore his Chinese American identity through creating sculptures crafted of cardboard. He now lives in New York City and many of his sculptures depict scenes and portraiture inspired by NYC’s Chinatown community.

Warren’s "Homecoming" exhibit at Lynden Sculpture Garden reflects his desire to honor his Midwestern roots while exploring his cultural identity.

Lynden Sculpture Garden is located at 2145 West Brown Deer Road, River Hills, Wisconsin. It is a wonderful family destination with impressive sculptures spread out through their beautiful grounds. Warren King’s exhibit takes place in their gallery. Free admission.
