In September, the museum will unveil the first institutional survey in Asia of Los Angeles–based artist Jonas Wood (b. 1977). Wood is widely recognized for his bold use of color, flattened perspectives, and densely patterned surfaces. Working from personal photographs, family archives, found images, and his own surroundings, he transforms familiar subjects into compositions that are at once intimate and psychologically charged. The exhibition traces key themes that have shaped Wood's world, presenting approximately fifty paintings and thirty works on paper spanning more than two decades of his career.
