Anton Kern Gallery is pleased to present Hope Springs Eternal, Brooklyn-based artist Hein Koh’s first exhibition at Anton Kern spanning the first and second floor galleries. The exhibition will foreground a new series of works depicting cyclopean figures: one-eyed beings who observe but cannot speak. The characters are full of human pathos but lack noses, mouths, or ears—their faces distinguished only by a large and watchful eye. Despite their facial shortcomings, in Koh’s world, these subjects participate in mundane moments of waiting, wondering, and enduring, such as being at the doctors, or caught in the rain.
