About the Item
Yen Ha is an architect, artist and writer. Born in Saigon, she lives in New York City. Ha has been awarded residencies by the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, MASS MoCA, and The Arctic Circle, among others. Several of her drawings were recently selected for the juried show “9 for 19” at First Street Gallery in Chelsea, NY.
Ha’s work uses repetitive, small-scale gestures to build landscapes based on impressions of a time and place. Each specific time and place are transformed into abstract representations of memory. Her drawings are assembled from individual sheets, amalgamated into abstracted scenes of mountains, seascapes, and natural forms in an impossible bid to capture the vastness of the disappearing world. Ha’s abstract and delicate lines imbue her work with a longing for places once experienced while conveying dreams of vistas yet undiscovered.
The “Landscapes of Memory” series originates specifically in Ha’s travels to unfrequented destinations. Ha takes a point in time and place and captures an essence of experience that moves beyond literal memory into an unbound landscape. Presented in triptych form, the works seek to remind us that simply by existing in the same plane as nature, our human presence alters the fragile state of the environment.

- Boom, Bust, Repeat - Nick Peña - Contemporary Landscape/Abstract PaintingLocated in Signal Mountain, TNIn BOOM BUST REPEAT17, Peña creates a silhouette of house and fills it with sharpe-edged shapes that contain gradients and saturated hues of red, green, and violet. He balances these colors with muted tones of orange and yellow . The viewer can create a house that is yet to be built in between the gaps here. In "Boom, Bust, Repeat", Peña remarks on a house and landscape that has yet to take place. The painting is created with watercolor and acrylic paint on paper. In the foreground we see Sintra board or flattened PVC that has been CNC routed. In the "soil" beneath the house are small circular lines that have been hand drawn with India ink. The Sintra board has been cut to reveal arrows in the negative space pointing upwards as to hint at a boom in the market. Peña’s works range from painting to multimedia installations that question the ever-changing psychological landscape of America; asking the viewer to re-examine their perceptions of the “American Dream” and the affects that pursuit has on our environment and national psyche. The realization that both the idealistic pursuit of happiness and the relevance of painting in a technologically driven world informs his practice. With each composition the labor begins with digital composites of a fragmented American landscape in peril —where tension lies in the contrasts between past and present, analog and digital, representation and abstraction, and stability and instability. In his most recent series the American home (stability) and fragmented and shifting landscape (instability) are veiled by a digitally produced mat. Traditionally a mat is, by definition, a flat, thin piece of paper based material included within the picture frame and serves as additional decoration when framing artwork. He activates this commonly overlooked material by using a non-traditional material, Sintra (flattened sheet of PVC), that has a negative digitally drawn image cut-out. This cut-out might, at first glance, look hand cut however, a more astute viewer would realize the precision is mechanical. The mat has been transformed from inactive decoration to digitally produced veil that represents the technologically anxious precision we surround ourselves with. Nick Peña...Category
