Heung Heung Chin: Pika and the Wolf

Heung Heung Chin: Pika and the Wolf

Personal Digital Work
by Tzadik’s Chief Designer

November 1st to 30th

Artist Reception: Sunday, November 10th, 3-6PM

Heung-Heung Chin’s first California solo exhibition showcases a selection of graphic design; a sculptural microworld; and the premiere of “Pika and the Wolf,” a set of illustrations about a female ochotona and male canine.

Pika and the Wolf  highlights adventurous moments in the USA and beyond. Two friends continue their time together despite long, real world physical separations. Heavily detailed environments remain consistent with Chin’s signature graphic design style. The series is an intense memoir celebrating wit and nature.

“Inquiry” explores the dynamics between color and miniature forms. Each study in the “Inquiry” is about energy, geometry and nature.

Wearable sculptural pieces (rings, pendants), based on the sage owl, Phire, were conceived and evolved as part of a group birthday box first presented in Ghent. Each piece presented in this show was originally hand sculpted by the artist and sent for casting in brass or sterling silver.

A graphic design survey features a selection of 2D work: music packaging, books, posters, pins, etc.
