Hai-Hsin Huang
Okinawa DoReMi
My artistic journey is propelled by a profound connection to the nuances of everyday life.
Whether capturing expansive landscapes or portraying diverse individuals, my paintings delve into the intricate moments within various interpersonal relationships.
These narratives span grand epochs, political and societal realms, and the intricate dynamics of family life.
Beyond a mere satirical exploration of diverse realities, my work delves into the inner anxieties, fears, and alienation embedded within individuals.
It serves as a powerful critique, not only satirizing the realities of our world but also addressing the worries, fears, and sense of detachment experienced by modern individuals.
This time I would like to base my the observation during my residency in Yambaru and to creating a series of work on paper “Okinawa DoReMi”
