Curator's Eye

Jaehong Ahn’s paintings take us into private worlds that are at once imbued with realism and subtle humour. As scenes of constant contradictions, life-like, hyperreal figures and forms inhabit mysterious and surreal landscapes. Themes of confrontation and divergence are furthered by the continued juxtaposition between the intentional and the accidental, and light and shadow. By uniting these seeming imbalances the artist produces paintings that have are distinctive and striking and a strong addition to any collection.
