Opening Reception: September 12, 2024 | 5-7 PM |
Exhibition: September 12 - December 13, 2024 |
In the modern tradition of abstract art, artists look beyond what we physically see. Using color, shape, line, and texture, they express strong emotional content without constraints of representation.
Two Korean-born artists based in New York present their own expositions and elucidations in Dyadic, a duo exhibition. With her bold colors and brushstroke, Annette Hur deliberately positions her paintings in between abstraction and figuration, dealing with the conflicts of the real lived experience and how her body remembers and processes it. Hayoon Jay Lee uses rice as object, motif, metaphor and visceral biomorphic forms, meticulously and meditatively arranging individual grains of rice into a surface with modeling paste to create physical and emotional topographies.
