Jon Ching’s “Sacrosanct” at Haven Gallery.

Artist Jon Ching’s solo exhibition, “Sacrosanct,” is currently on view at Haven Gallery in Northport, New York.

“Sacrosanct” will consist of eight new oil paintings that reflect Ching’s affection and reverence of the natural world. Growing up in Hawaii, and now living in California, the vast beauty and majesty of his surroundings continually serves as inspiration for his life and art. Ching’s paintings are a harmonious enosis of nature’s kingdom. A poly symbiosis of all organic beings is a major theme as animals, fauna, fungi and crystals, magically and resplendently defy the natural order and are canonized accordingly.

In describing his this collection, Ching notes:

“In Sacrosanct, a word defined as being too important to be interfered with, I envision the divine manifested in nature. These sprites, deities and divine creatures each have their own idiosyncratic domains of which they nurture and protect, keeping the balance of the vast interconnected web of life. My portraits offer a glimpse of their majesty and the magic they possess.”

Each composition reflects its own unique world that focuses on what the artist refers to as “fauna creatures”. These beings are a reflection of the Ching’s ideals and an amalgamation of all organic life representing the intrinsic divine nature in each organism. Painted with regal compositions and monarchally lush palettes, each work captivates and appears to hold all the knowledge of the universe. The sitter is a sacred and ascended entity confronting the viewer through the use of captivating palettes and compositions, and reminding us of the magnitude of all life, big and small, that we humbly share our lives and planet with.

it felt like i knew you…, 2012 - ongoing I ride the NYC subway trains, usually in the evening when the seats are full. I focus on the shape of the space between the person sitting next to me and myself. I attempt to mentally and emotionally re-sculpt that space. In my mind, I reshape it- from the stiff and guarded space between strangers to the soft and yielding space between friends. I direct all my energy to this space between us. When the space palpably changes, and I completely feel like the stranger sitting next to me is my friend, I rest my head on that person’s shoulder…
