LEMONNI

It’s just about three weeks until my solo show Reassembly at !

I’ve been working on this show since last year. Even though most of the action didn’t happen until this year, I’ve had more time to experiment this round. I’m still painting bold shapes, but this time I’ve been holding myself back from being too perfect. It’s been a process of learning how to let go, how to embrace imperfections and beautiful accidents. If you look closely, you might even spot pencil marks left uncovered 🙈

The more I see AI-generated work circulating online, the more I yearn for something analog and tactile. The problem with AI is that everything starts to feel too perfect, almost unsettling. I truly believe that it’s the human flaws in art and culture that make things feel alive and keep the world interesting. Human creation is what transcends time and space.

In preparing for this show, I’ve been playing with different textures and materials. I love when underlying colours peek through the surface, creating depth and unexpected effects. Seven medium-to-large works and seven small pieces were created this time. I can’t wait for you to see my new body of work!

Please come by my opening reception on April 18, from 12–4pm at This Gallery. I think there will be cake 😝
