Angela Fang Zirbes' “House & Ghosts”

Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present House & Ghosts, the debut solo exhibition of Angela Fang Zirbes. Set within the backdrop of an old rural house, ghosts and their haunted objects appear within carefully decorated striped and wood paneled interiors. Executed in a monochromatic palette, the paintings are reminiscent of an old aging photograph, like calling upon a long forgotten memory. Inspired by common decor typically found within old country homes, faux wooden frames encase relics and imagined memories of a life once lived, serving as memories of the ghosts past ‘in life’. These domestic depictions illustrate the restrictions of life through the use of traditional compositions, smaller scale imagery, and rigid posture.
