The Proposition
559 W 22nd StIn the Project Room is graphic designer Heung-Heung Chin who premieres a series of c-print illustrations based on her personal trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. The Awakening of the Empyrean Dominion features animals in rhapsodic harmony with their dynamic and serene environment. It is a meeting of heaven and earth where lava, fire and water give life to the horses, pigs, sea creatures and other inhabitants. Industrious creatures who persevere to maintain beauty and order are intricately rendered in a sophisticated fashion combining the stylistic qualities of Tibetan art and modern Japanese character goods. The body of work also includes highlights of the Empyrean Dominion characters in a set of lush portraits.
