Kim Huynh

Flash: Richmond

April 22 - June 3, 2007

Flash: Richmond speaks of the demographic layers of Chinese immigrants who have lived in Canada since the 19th century, and who have integrated into all aspects of the Canadian cultural identity. Well-known master works from important periods in Chinese history (ranging from 1850 to contemporary works) are the source of Kim Huynh’s inspiration. She reproduces these paintings in blocks to configure them as a black and white mural of Richmond. The reproductions comprise a readable landscape of the city when viewed from a distance, but since the elements are fragments, they are no longer recognized individually. They have been deconstructed and shifted to become parts of a new image.
