Free Exhibition Admission

Hung Hsien: Between Worlds celebrates the life and artistic legacy of pioneering artist Hung Hsien, one of the most important yet underrepresented contributors to the development of modern ink painting. Throughout her artistic career, Hung Hsien has emphasized personal expression and individuality, resulting in a distinctly celestial form of modern ink painting that drifts effortlessly between landscape and abstraction.
