All of Andy Anh Ha’s shiny resin paintings portray the lotus flower, which according to his artist’s statement, represents«purity amidst adverse surroundings.» Ha’s large scale artwork features a pure white background with the large, deep red silhouette of a lotus flower, or the outline of a lotus over mottled brush strokes, or chains of multi-colored silhouettes. His work is modern and boldly minimal, which I admire. Ha himself was friendly and eager to answer viewers’ questions. His gallery feels open and airy, and he is currently sharing the space with another artist(I think they might be brothers) who uses the same medium as Ha, but has a more playful Asian pop style.
