Asian & American Art Foundation, 526 West 26th Street, Suite 211, NY City Proud to present a group exhibition ‘Between Realms: Sky, Earth, and Sea’ featured by 3 Korean Artists Regina Hann, HyunSook Moon, Michael Park. This exhibition runs from June 17 – 30, 2026, with an opening reception on Thursday, June 18th, from 6-8 pm.
Between Realms: Sky, Earth, and Sea bring together three distinct artistic practices that contemplate existence through the elemental forces of sky, earth, and sea. Though differing in material language and visual form, the artists share a profound engagement with transformation, connection, impermanence, and the unseen structures that shape human experience.
Representing the realm of the sky, Michael Park’s work explores the tension between nature and artificiality, permanence and disappearance, reality and abstraction. Rooted in meditative contemplation, his paintings merge sculptural surfaces with restrained visual language to reflect the cyclical movement of creation and extinction. Park’s layered terrains evoke geological time, cosmic drift, and the fragile condition of human existence, suggesting that humanity itself moves through the universe like wandering planets suspended between appearance and disappearance.
Grounded in the realm of the earth, HyunSook Moon examines human relationships, communication, and memory through the recurring motif of the house. Constructed through points, lines, planes, and layered mixed media, her works visualize both visible and invisible forms of connection. Across series such as Link, Imagine, Between, Share, F.F, Connect, and Snowy Village, Moon transforms simplified architectural forms into emotional landscapes that speak to identity, community, distance, empathy, and coexistence. Her works invite viewers to navigate ambiguity and rediscover personal memories and emotional connections embedded within the structures of contemporary life.
Representing the sea, Regina Hann’s work investigates unstable states in which formation, dissolution, and regeneration coexist simultaneously. Inspired by coral ecosystems and organic structures, her layered surfaces evolve through accumulation, erosion, fragmentation, and reconstruction. Hann’s process-based practice embraces material transformation as both metaphor and living condition, revealing vulnerability, ecological tension, and the persistence of existence through continual change. Her works suggest that collapse and renewal are inseparable forces within both nature and human life.
Together, the three artists create an immersive dialogue between elemental worlds and psychological states. Between Realms: Sky, Earth, and Sea become a contemplative space where viewers encounter shifting boundaries between the physical and metaphysical, individual and collective, permanence and impermanence. Through layered surfaces, symbolic structures, and organic transformations, the exhibition reflects on how human beings continuously navigate instability, memory, communication, and renewal within an ever-changing world.
