About the artwork
In an artful merging of Chinese Calligraphy and imagery, Hong's use of elegant compositional space creates a pseudo triptych. Soft grey spaces filled with the fading remnants of Chinese wordings at the ends of each canvas encapsulate a tranquil scene of rolling hills and cascading lines of graceful text. The dreamlike sequence presented brings with it a harmonious, comforting synergy and rhythm, provoking instances of nostalgia and serenity.
