Gallery Ascend to premiere ‘Border Riders: Dreaming of Love, Hope and Freedom 2022’ August 23
In Hong Kon’s tradition of showcasing some of the hottest Asian talent. Gallery Ascend is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition Border Riders: Dreaming of Love, Hope and Freedom 2022, featuring the work of Ha Haeng-Eun.
Korean artist Ha Haeng-Eun's paintings are similar to a journal; she observes the world and then reflects it on canvas, yet it is not immediately apparent as she tempers each layer with love, hope, and freedom. Throughout her career, the artist has reflected the world through a curious figure with a fluid identity that continually evolves as an echo of her observations. Ha combined the features elderly and a newborn to convey her thoughts towards and boundaries of life and reflect aspects of her personal life, surroundings, and current events, the exhibition represents the artist's accumulated thoughts on living, death, and love.
Ha’s works are filled with wave-like strokes; it gives such diversity to even the most mono-tone background. The layers of individual patches and depths of colors are especially unique when it is placed within their eyes, all characters were given a pair of eyes that radiates lights and a galaxy-like scenery, that could perhaps remind you of a mindful night view with fireflies, exhilarating and calming at the same time.
The figure embraces humanity and everything the human spirit encounters. It strives to achieve more love, hope, and peace and shines a light so that the viewer can see the world for everything it is.
As a result, it is not surprising that this version of the figure is more optimistic, more accepting, and more hopeful than ever.
