Museful Reveries

Calem Glover seeks beauty sourced in imperfection. The roots of his beauty are in the scribbles of old notepads next to phonebooks, and now are the very foundation of the imperfect lines that sprawl his canvas. His colorful lines and shapes exude a cool and dynamic effervescence—revealing and reflecting the gamut of emotions culled from his eclectic experiences.
Jongkie Lee utilizes meaningful figures in his life as materials for work. He shows a clear penchant for highly valued art such as Whanki Kim’s abstractions and traditional moon jars in his own paintings. He invokes the purity found in Kim with his dots and the potters with their clay—harking to unadulterated moments that preface commercial evaluation of artworks. It’s in this idealistic microcosm that the artist’s favorite characters of the Simpsons family and Superman infiltrate and envelop his fantasy.
Ha’s artistic process involves capturing on canvas the meaningful moments with her children and overlapping them with the chain of her memories. Beyond just the visual, these moments further evoke multiple senses sourced in her memories of sunlight and the wind to such sounds of jujubes falling—coming all to life on the artist’s canvas.

We are understood by those closest to us, and at times by those whom we barely know. Through the character “Iomteiot” (Toi et Moi), whose door-shaped eyes invoke the connectivity of time and space, Hong bridges the gap and narrows the spaces between individuals. This process is a journey of emotional self-introspection and an itinerary of the trials and errors found in discovering ourselves. Why should we exist, why should we love, why should we be together, and why should we live? Hong ceaselessly asks these questions and, in the process, comforts us in his quest for answers.
