Reflections on Colourful Universe, Visual Dialogues

Red Room was full of colour in February. Christiana Chien and Todd (Hack) Hackwelder opened their Visual Dialogues exhibition Colourful Universe on Feb, 12th, 2017. This was Christiana’s first show.


Christiana’s colourful Pollockesque paintings are strong and powerful, textured and layered. One could feel the raw emotion and passion she puts into her painting as it explodes onto the canvas. An amazing showing of her work for her first show.

Hack’s Plus-man paintings filled the walls, was dancing, listening to Reggae music, the colours of the Jamaican flag could be seen in a painting installation on the floor. With his noodle like body he twisted in all sorts of shapes and on all kinds of surfaces. Pot lids hung from the ceiling, skateboards, clocks and of course, canvas. And what Colourful Universe could be complete without Aliens. We had those too. A new series by Hack made for this show.

Colour filled the Red Room and for a time it was like living on some sort of rainbow planet.
