Featuring the work of Chuang Che, Ma Hao, and Henry Chuang, this exhibition draws from the spiritual, the metaphysical, and the deeply personal to probe the threshold between memory and amnesia, beauty and the grotesque, history and automation.
At its core lies a provocation: what happens when blank canvases fill vast spaces? What are we to think, feel, or become when the gestures of art, once sacred, are replaced by code? This is a world where politeness fades, meaning fragments, and even chess champions fall to machines. Yet in that rupture, there remains the possibility of reawakening—a return to the essence of mark-making, of the brushstroke for its own sake, of mindful presence in the face of technological dislocation.
Mystic Symbolism does not simply critique modernity; it mythologizes the human condition within it. Through found objects, mystical forms, and painterly gestures, the artists propose a radical reinvigoration of past glories—not as a retreat, but as a lifeline. With tongue-in-cheek flamboyance and unflinching vision, their work occupies a space of “anti-Pop futuristic modernity”: heightened, electric, unapologetic.
Here, art is not entertainment. It is prophecy, it is resistance. It is the beautiful and the ugly, entwined.
