Hybrid Nature
Opening Reception: January 9, 6-8pm
January 9 – March 1, 2025

Alisan Fine Arts is proud to present Hybrid Nature, their first exhibition of 2025 featuring three contemporary artists, Bouie Choi, Chu Chu, and Jia Sung. Although the three artists’ artworks and processes differ, they all explore forms of hybridity, both in the themes at play within them and the mediums they use.

Hong Kong-based Bouie Choi is known for her use of reclaimed wood as a material, manipulating and then painting on the surface to create object-like works. Chu Chu takes the natural world as her subject in her photography-calligraphy works, increasingly blending the two practices in her various bodies of work. Meanwhile, Jia Sung frequently incorporates embroidered elements into her paintings; interestingly, hybrid figures, part-human and part-animal, often populate her works as she delves into folkloric traditions and tropes.

Be sure to celebrate with them during the opening reception on Thursday, January 9 from 6-8pm!
