"Turbulence Air"
June 30 - July 14, 2009
opening Reception Thursday, July 2, 2009

SoHee Hong paints the human figure without concession to the cannon of ordinary beauty. Constructed with a muscular brushwork, her paintings of wounded bodies, rendered in mostly monochrome tones, express a very personal and deeply felt pathos.
JiYoon Chair’s nicely rendered figures seem the antithesis of SoHee’s work, safe for her monochrome palette. Depicting figures dressed in traditional Korean dresses the paintings exhibit a certain decorativeness with a echo of “Art Nouveau” which gives her work a straightforward and serene appearance.
