There is a rapturous problem of scale in these works by LA-based artist Seonna Hong. Dripping, swirling, painterly swathes of color form landscapes in collaboration with tiny animals, people, trees. But should we really see these figures as tiny just because we can imagine the brush used to slosh on the landscape we find them in? They could just as easily be life-size creatures in a world created by an unimaginably vast brush. And when Hong brings text into the works, the problem of scale becomes vertiginous in the very best way.
