WILLEM HOEFFNAGEL "EMBODIED" NEW EXHIBITION

Opening tomorrow at WOAW Gallery Hong Kong: Solo exhibition by Willem Hoeffnagel !
Opening reception tomorrow, May 16, from 6-8pm at 5 Sun Street, Wan Chai!

Titled “Embodied,” the exhibition in collaboration with League OTO , features Dutch painter Willem Hoeffnagel’s recent works surrounding the subtle sentiments in life, where he continues to create his recognizable figures while exploring introspection and emotions.

He believes they are a core component that makes humans distinctive, declaring that the emotions we experience in life are a fundamental part of what makes us human - to Hoeffnagel, there are no absolute good or bad emotions, but just a representation of a state of mind. His cartoonesque figures act as a placeholder without them having to represent a specific person, giving room to ambiguity about what stories or situations they are in, allowing the viewer room for interpretation.

Each of his works exhibiting in “Embodied” conveys emotions that viewers grasp and sympathize with, but are not clearly defined.
