Haejo Eom Solo Exhibition: Loa's Journey — Garden of Memory

"Garden of Memory" series. The artist pulls information and memories she has absorbed into a single painting, aesthetically producing what she carries within her. A carefully tended "garden" of images kept purely in memory takes shape as paintings in a variety of media — each canvas a scene from a memory's "highlight," a shining, flower-strewn moment of joy that everyone recognizes from their own life.

Haejo Eom holds a BA in Western painting and an MA in art and cultural studies, and works primarily in painting to explore communication and connection among contemporary people. This exhibition, "Loa's Journey: Garden of Memory," aesthetically unpacks a story inspired by the world and experience of the RPG "Lost Ark," offering an artistic experience meant to be shared across the many different lives of contemporary viewers.
