Xuan-Hui Ng: A Gracious Breath
February 9
Foto Relevance is pleased to present A Gracious Breath, an online exhibition of works by Xuan-Hui Ng. The Singaporean, Tokyo-based artist’s serendipitous landscapes capture transient moments of beauty within the vastness of nature. Photographed largely in Hokkaido, Nagano, and Aomori, Japan, the landscapes featured in this exhibition focus on the enchanting nature of winter, with its snow-capped mountains and quiet forests. Ng states:
“When I photograph, I am drawn to intense moments at daybreak or during snowstorms. Each season reflects unexpected or surprising instances when the ordinary becomes extraordinary. There are minute, spectacular changes that continue to bewitch me.“
These unedited photographs are single-exposure images made in camera, created with the intention to record and show the natural wonders that nature offers – not to post-produce something that never happened. Ng’s work brings us closer to nature, allows us to bathe in its stillness for a moment, and reminds us of the beauty in all things delicate and fierce.
A Gracious Breath will be on view online from December 1, 2023 through February 15th, 2024. This exhibition is concurrent with Ng’s solo show at The Griffin Museum of Photography: Transcendence: Awakening the Soul.
