Jee Hwang was curated into "THICKET" a dense, verdant, group show curated by Kirstin Lamb. Up from June 7th to July 19th, OVERLAP Art Gallery, Newport, RI will host an Opening Reception: Sat. June 7th 3-5p. PLUS a curator’s tour of THICKET with Kirstin Lamb on June 28th at 4pm.

“Each artist chosen for this investigation reveals a corner of the brush, from bright greenery to scrubby brown and orange dead leaves below. There is a clean well-lit space rendered in textile and a squishy lush dark space in oil. Some works present abstractions of the idea of thicket, from the energy of the twittering birds to the strangeness of the combination of life growing at the edges of farmland and human civilization.I invite you into each artist's world, many of them jewel box depictions of space outdoors. Most importantly, this is a gathering space.” -Kirstin Lamb, curator of “Thicket” -Kirstin Lamb
