Sally J. Han, Guests, 2021

A pleasing Sunday morning set-up, courtesy of painter Sally J. Han. Han’s sumptuous pictorial narratives offer up quiet yet powerful scenarios that hint at her lived experience as a Korean and Chinese American, explains American curator Alison Gingeras, whether through textiles, objects or food. “Her techniques hark back to the century’s old alchemy of painterly expression,” Gingeras observes, “while creating scenes of everyday life that are simultaneously very contemporary and yet utterly timeless.”
