Ha Chong-HyunRetrospective
Sep 25, 2026 – Jan 25, 2027 Civic Center
More than fifty paintings from six decades, in the Korean abstract painter’s first museum exhibition in North America.
The survey runs from early-1960s canvases built up with thick paint, embedded thread and scorch marks to the Conjunction series, begun in 1974, in which Ha forces oil paint from the back of coarse burlap through to the front. The newest works, two finished in 2025, mix ash and charred material with bright color.
The guest curator is Sunjung Kim of Art Sonje Center in Seoul.
