EVENT DESCRIPTION
Soluna Fine Art proudly presents Where the Light Bends Between Us, a compelling summer group exhibition curated by Shirky Chan. Featuring the works of five artists from Hong Kong, Korea and the UK – Ashlee Ip, Heyse Ip, Jeremy Ip, Chino Ng and Ido Park, the exhibition explores the theme of space and time in-between. It invites viewers to discover the subtle thresholds where transformation and transition reside, immersing them in a realm where light and shadow intertwine. Through their diverse creative practices, these artists guide us across invisible passages, revealing the delicate beauty of change, emergence and process.
Ashlee Ip combines figurative and abstract elements to create compositions filled with swirling, flowing shapes that evoke personal emotions and instinctive feelings. She skillfully balances chaos and order, using a shimmering yet sturdy golden leash that guides viewers through the complex imagery on the canvas. Symbolizing the subtle influences that shape us in ways we may not always notice, her works reveal the harmony and beauty hidden beneath tensions and conflicts.
Using animals as symbols, Heyse Ip’s sonic installations explore the relationship and boundaries between the human-made and natural worlds. With a blend of humor and absurdity, his works invite viewers to reflect on notions of humanness, dominance and coexistence. His latest series focuses on flies, with their familiar buzzing intruding upon everyday life, serving as a constant reminder of their role as a cohabitant in our shared environment.
Jeremy Ip creates a sensory experience using gentle, delicate layers of oil paint. He envisions a journey of food entering the human body, constructing a rhythmic space by capturing the fictional moments of beautiful transformation through figurative brushstrokes. The flowing layers of color, combined in a harmonious composition, represent a life experience that feels both real and elusive.
Chino Ng dedicates his paintings to exploring how light softens the boundary between reality and abstraction. As an observer, he seeks to capture traces of time within each beam of light he observes in his daily surroundings. Reflecting on moments where memories and spaces are distorted by light, he documents the delicate transition between recollection and imagination.
By experimenting with the tactile texture of wax layered over his oil paintings, Ido Park added depth to the flat surface, creating a sense of spatial and visual three-dimensionality through materiality. Imagining the gentle floating process of spores as they spread, settle, and germinate, Park explores the endless changes and patterns in life, presenting thousands of unconventional garden landscapes.
