Ben Brown Fine Arts presents Hyon Gyon’s first solo exhibition "Cruel World” at the gallery’s Hong Kong venue.Gyon’s paintings and sculptures teem with a raw and fervent energy, as she incorporates materials such as melted fabric, gold leaf, encaustic, spray paint, hair and found objects into her work. The artist addresses cultural identity, sexual politics, grief, catharsis and ecstasy in her highly expressive and often autobiographical body of work. Her practice and method have radically shifted transforming her approach into one guided by more abstract, more intuitive imagery. Hyon Gyon (b. 1979, South Korea) holds a master’s and doctoral degree in painting from Kyoto City University of Arts, Japan, and currently resides in New York City. After living in Japan for nine years, Hyon Gyon moved to New York City in 2013 and began her indefinite residency, which was supported by Shin Gallery. Over the years she has held both group and solo exhibitions at Museum of Kyoto; the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo; Kyoto Art Center, Kyoto; Asian Art Museum of San Francisco; Carnegie Art Museum, and Shin Gallery, New York. Hyon Gyon’s work is included in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the High Museum of Art and many others.The exhibition will be on view from September 21 through November 9, 2017 at Ben Brown Fine Arts, 303 Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street Central, Hong Kong.For details, visit: http://www.benbrownfinearts.com Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
