All We Need Is Love
Emma Kang Solo Exhibition
7 Dec 2024 - 19 Jan 2025
The artist breaks the formality boundaries of traditional painting, takes "love" as the theme, combining three-dimensional brush strokes and cute characters to convey healing and warmth. Full of love will dispel your fatigue and worries, "ALL WE NEED IS LOVE".
The works center around playful characters and text that interact in an organic, harmonious way. Thick layers of paint are built up, scraped back, and then layered again, creating textures that highlight dimensionality against minimalist backgrounds. These thick strokes symbolize love, while the act of scraping away represents sharing love and showing care. Text is woven in, expressing the ideas the artist wants to convey or the questions they ask themselves.
Each piece tells a unique story with its simplicity, to see its childlike wonder. It feels like a scene from a warm, peaceful storybook, sparkling imagination and connection. Through the expressive interplay of innocent characters like children and animals with quotes of love, the artist brings emotions to life on canvas.
