Hee Hyoun Chung "Pairing up, Pairing down"


October 2- 26, 2013

ARTIST RECEPTION: Reception: Saturday, October 12, 4-6 pm


echo into the night for i am running to paradise 42x42 inches and 42x42 inches, acrylic on canvas

Inspiration comes from the essence of poetry - the best words in the best order - and my love for words. Abstract painting and poetry use similar elements of composition - repetition, variation, space, and tones - to express an emotion and idea. Metaphors and allusions conveyed through a poem's reductive use of words are all the more moving. My hope is to create silent poems on the canvases. The titles are taken from poems of E. E. Cummings, Ted Hughes, and Pablo Neruda.
