Huang Po Hsun’s Explosive, Vibrant Acrylic Paintings

Huang Po Hsun’s vibrant, bombastic paintings move between the familiar and the utterly otherworldly. These works, primarily acrylic on canvas, can feel like underwater carnivals or bubbling abstractions. The artist seems to be retrofitting icons from our world into his own flamboyant dreams.

Huang Po Hsun’s vibrant, bombastic paintings move between the familiar and the utterly otherworldly. These works, primarily acrylic on canvas, can feel like underwater carnivals or bubbling abstractions. The artist seems to be retrofitting icons from our world into his own flamboyant dreams.

“They are paintings focus on the relation between the surroundings and one self, with a significant, colorful and bright manner,” Gallery Gladden says.“The constant changes in life and the warm climate in Southern Taiwan may have great impact on the artist. Huang’s work shows a light motion, a quality of quiet loneliness and uncertainties. Furthermore, a tone of warm glamour.”

The artist was born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The artist has released series titled “And Rich And Lonely”, “A Blast of Laughter” and “Carnival Ukiyo.” Asian Contemporary Art Buyer lists his consistent themes as “lovers and strangers and a wonderland afar.” See more of what they mean below.

On Saturday night, Los Angeles pop-up space 80Forty transformed into Lola's "The Younger". Her exhibition, 2-years in the making, tells the personal story of Lola's creative upbringing in an environment full of personal touches. The space included her own fireplace mantel, as seen in our studio visit, with decorative furniture and 3d pieces on display. As the title suggests, we follow the 'younger' Lola into adulthood through a series of playful symbolism. In her youth, Lola spent time drawing with her father, also an artist, and playing with the toys inherited from her grandparents. These experiences find their way into her paintings, featuring Alice in Wonderland-like little girls in whimsical situations.

The women that populate Martine Johanna's world are pensive warriors who occupy a place of tension between powerful command and fragile insecurity; and between upstanding morality and dark cruelty. In many ways, the figural subjects of Johanna's paintings are conflate the complex binaries between which people battle and waver, settle and compromise. While each subject is shown as unique in appearance and mood, they are all united by a distant, thoughtful gaze − a metaphor for the wandering, worrying human mind.
