Project: “Eternal light – 21c The Last Judgment”
Artist: HanHo
Curators: Monica Hye Yeon Jun, Ara & Anahid Oshagan
Inspired by Michelangelo’s masterpiece, The Last Judgment, artist HanHo’s Eternal light – 21c
Using traditional art techniques combined with technology, HanHo creates multi-colored light-infused immersive worlds that shift and ebb in front of your eyes. Nearly all the figures depicted in the work are the artist himself—performance, history, war, future, fantasy all meld in this massive panorama of humanity. “Eternal Light,” as the artist calls it, bathes his canvases and elevates his worlds to near mystical proportions. Will this eternal light uplift humanity from the on- rushing climate crisis? Will we have the ability, as species, to avoid our own destruction? Who will judge us, finally? These questions undergird HanHo’s “Last Judgment” and create a space for us to contemplate them and our future.
