The Golden Rain Tree drips its powders down, an exhibition of new and recent work by Henry Hu. Bringing together animation, paintings and photographs, this focused presentation highlights the artist’s continued interest in abstraction as a force that might signify life without directly defining it. Engaged with notions of mysticism, central to his practice is an enquiry into the spiritual end. Limiting his range of tonal palette within each work, the paintings combine a multi-layered technique of paint pours with an ecosystem of raw, earthly materials—mixing sand, gravel, twig, leaf, grass and wood. Each element tunnels into, intertwines with the other, a delicate manipulation of material that traces the ambiguity of nostalgia. At heart, the works are an embodiment of the natural world, to preserve what is fleeting, a piece of reflection, a quiet wonder. OPENING FRIDAY 2 JUNE 6 - 8 PM
