Opening Reception: December 3rd, 2016 at 6pm

Sarah Shinhyo Kim's inspiration for this exhibition comes from the increasing popularization of "Emojis". This Emoji exhibition, “F.A.C.E.S ( Feelings, Appearance, Communication, Emotions, and Socialization)”, is a continuation of her previous exhibition, “Social Networking” and, presents two aspects: The first aspect depicts humans’ distinctive and unique emotions on canvas, emphasizing on each singular expression to reveal a simplified but honest emotion of a human being. They focus on representing a wide spectrum of each “feeling”, from everyday emotions expressive reflection on complex social issues. The second aspect shows a harmonious consolidation of various emotions and expressions. A variety of faces first begin to form small blocks, overlapping, connecting, and eventually altogether constructing a larger image and shape. The artist's intent is to show that of all the eclectic characteristics and uniqueness within us, balance and harmony can co-exist among complex human relationships.
