Oolong Gallery Presents "What is Built" - A Solo Exhibition by Christina Hendershaw Oolong Gallery is pleased to announce "What is Built," a solo exhibition by graphite artist and San Diego native Christina Hendershaw. This captivating exhibition will be displayed in the foyer gallery at Oolong from May 18 to June 9, 2024, offering a unique exploration of the ephemeral nature of urban structures in the form of graphite works on paper. This exhibition marks the final showcase in the gallery's current raw form before the warehouse undergoes significant construction and division. Please join us for the opening reception Saturday May 18 from 2-5 p.m. at Oolong Gallery, including an event to follow in celebration of the parallel show in the warehouse by Peruvian oil painter Sylvia Fernández. Before a foundation is poured or a beam erected, the conceptual framework of our cities materializes in the realm of imagination. These nascent structures, which eventually manifest as tangible entities, exist in a liminal state—simultaneously solid and elusive. Once built, they seamlessly blend into the fabric of our daily existence, often going unnoticed until moments of construction or demolition draw our attention. Hendershaw’s meticulous graphite drawings capture this delicate balance between presence and invisibility, examining the experience of spatial perception and collective memory. "These imagined structures straddle the line between solidity and intangibility," says Hendershaw. "Their presence is so pervasive, so assumed, that they often go unnoticed—perceived as indestructible and unyielding." Through ethereal and abstract representations of recently constructed ruins, Hendershaw’s work obscures rather than clarifies any authentic sense of place or location, referencing the transient nature of what is built.
