An Hoang, Garden Poem 12, 9, and 3, 2025, Oil on canvas, 11 x 9 inches (each)
Halsey McKay Gallery is pleased to present Garden Poems, An Hoang’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. In these intimately scaled paintings, Hoang zooms in more closely to her subjects in the garden, in contrast with the billowing clouds and bowing trees of recent works. Hoang deftly evokes the spirit of the natural world in verdant compositions that dance between abstractions of time, memory, and tangible phenomena, like weather and place.
Garden Poems is a series of small oil paintings that come out of taking a moment to make more intimate observations of nature; of gardens, of flowers, of the changing seasons. My garden memories are the catalyst to explore color, composition, and marks – colorful blooms, lush leaves, seed pods and stems; as we wait for Spring, for the birds to sing and the sun to warm the soil, so new growth can begin again”.
