Latent Images: Hidden Truths: Abstract Art from China, Japan and South Korea

Latent Images: Hidden Truths — Abstract Art from China, Japan and South Korea illuminates the deep logic and spiritual core of East Asian abstraction within the tension of time and the unseen. Rather than presenting only terminal forms, the exhibition foregrounds processes of emergence: color answering void, matter colliding with chance at the threshold, and the body intersecting time to generate meaning. Abstraction thus exceeds immediate visual pleasure to become a path of praxis and reflection.

Bringing together works by fifteen artists from China, Japan and South Korea, the exhibition spans from the mid-twentieth century to the present day. From the abstraction of landscape structures and traces of writing, to the deployment of symbols and grids, to water-drop imagery and the repeated layering and polishing of paper and burlap fibres, wood and lacquer, the participating artists explore, through diverse media and pathways, how abstraction can bear the weight of time, memory and spiritual density.
