Ming Ying Hong at The Green Building Gallery

Louisville, KY: The Green Building Gallery (gbg) presents a solo exhibition by Ming Ying Hong. The exhibition opens with a reception for the artist on Friday, January 13, 2012 from 6pm - 9pm and will continue through Saturday, February 25, 2012.

This exhibition marks the first exhibition by artist Ming Ying Hong in Louisville. Hong hails from Los Angles, California, via Lexington, Kentucky, and is a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky. She creates multi-media works on paper and large scale installations. Ming Ying Hong's work explores an emotional tug-and-pull drawn from commonplace experiences and objects. Her work investigates the tensions of such experiences by capturing the grotesque within the beautiful, the decay within the constructed, and the chaos within the tranquil.

This exhibition also marks the first exhibit hosted by The Green Building Gallery headed by its newly appointed Director, Daniel Pfalzgraf. Pfalzgraf is a long time gallerist, having worked at The Bill Lowe Gallery in Atlanta, GA, and at The Speed Art Museum and B. Deemer Gallery, both in Louisville, KY. He has also worked as an independent curator working under the guise "LoCAL.gallery".

The Green Building became Louisville, KY's first LEED platinum certified commercial building when it opened in the Fall of 2008 in the heart of NuLu, Louisville's premier arts district.
