poster for Aihua Hsia "In Between The Dormant And Subliminal"

This event has ended.

Hsia's sculptural work, paintings, and installations embody seemingly contradictory worlds: from the traditional and the modern, to the physical and the subconscious. She employs the ancient lacquer technique "Datsukanshitsu," use to make Buddhist statues, echoing her Asian identity and cultural roots. Hsia's personal re-working of this technique de-familiarizes modern expectations of contemporary of the subconscious. These spirits have a direct and primal connection to Nature, just as the conditions of weather affect her process and allow for the completion of her work. For her solo exhibition at White Box, Hsia creates and immersive realm at the edge of the subliminal; in their zone of ambiguity between the physical and subconscious worlds, Hsia's sculptural deities and nature spirits are evocations of good and evil, wherein certain spirits give balance to complex and conflicted worlds.
