"Transparent Reflections" Exhibition
Gana Art Gallery
This event has ended.
Sung-Ha An's still-life oil paintings seem to capture quiet moments in time that highlight the unexpected beauty of small, everyday objects. Guilty indulgences such as candy and cigarettes are portrayed in a seemingly hyper-realistic fashion. Yet there is a distinct sense of fantasy and illusion that pervades her work. An adds another layer onto this duality by venturing into an exploration of the good and the bad. Although candy and cigarettes are generally regarded as trivial and perhaps even sinful items, they provide pleasure and comfort because of the very nature of their unhealthy contents.
