Join us at CreativeMornings Honolulu in The Barn at SALT at Our Kaka‘ako on Friday, April 26 from 8:30 a.m. – 10 a.m.
CreativeMornings Honolulu seminar with Lauren Hana Chai, at The Barn at SALT at Our Kaka‘ako on Friday, April 26, 2024 at 8:30 a.m.
Lauren Hana Chai is known for contrasting her traditional Korean upbringing with her modern American life and including a personal story or cultural narrative to accompany each piece. As the first in her family born in America, she was raised by her South Korean grandparents in Hawaii. She moved across the Pacific to San Francisco to study at the Academy of Art University. After some time following the technique-based curriculum, Lauren says she relished breaking the rules and mixing abstract elements into the work. Her current series places side by side traditional elements, such as Korean folk art and Buddhist temple architecture, and modern elements such as interracial relationships or sexually charged figures. She has been featured in NBC News, KBS World Radio, Houston NPR, and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
