For the fourth year running, the House of Fine Art (HOFA) Gallery is opening its doors to present a line-up of female-identifying artists. ‘Her Alchemy’, which will run from July 12th to 25th, features the work of 13 female artists from 10 different countries around the world, in the largest display of female works the gallery has ever exhibited.

Held as a powerful statement on transforming and shaping cultural perspectives influenced by the diverse world around us, the exhibition will reflect a convergence of cultures, perspectives, narratives, and mediums, driven by the unique perspective of each female artist represented.

The display creates an all-important space for bridging the global art, whilst specifically empowering women to celebrate and share their perspectives. ‘Her Alchemy’, signifies the artists’ use of everyday objects and personal experiences to create meaningful works.

The exhibition will run from July 12th to 25th.

Jade Ching-yuk Ng

Based in Hong Kong, Jade Ching-yuk Ng, combines various mediums to examine the fragility of intimate relationships. Her compositions, influenced by personal experiences and modernist architecture, create a bridge between reality and imagination, encouraging introspection.

Wang Ziling

Chinese artist Wang Ziling investigates the perception of structure in nature and our surroundings. She develops three-dimensional sculptural paintings using a hardened painting process she developed, which detaches from its backing and floats between frames, redefining spatial painting.

Orlanda Broom

British artist Orlanda Broom is known for her vibrant floral landscapes and abstract paintings. Her work juxtaposes joy and unease, ripe and rot, old and new using paint strokes to illustrate fluid forms that represent the cycle of life, fertility and ageing.

Ilhwa Kim

South Korean artist Ilhwa Kim creates works composed of tens of thousands of seed units. Each piece combines straight lines and circles to form what she calls “a tiny universe”. Kim personally dyes each sheet of paper by hand with thousands of different colours, cutting and rolling the layers to make them rigid. In her work, no two units share the same shape, look, or colour.

Mary Ronayne

Irish painter Mary Ronayne infuses her art with comedy, wit, and a sense of purpose, transforming absurd elements like melting faces and candy-pop colours into celebrations of the fluidity of time, identity, and life. Her scenes are drawn from historical narratives and classical literature, highlighting the enduring aspects of human experience in her signature carefree spirit.

Ayobola Kekere-Ekun

Nigerian artist Ayobola Kekere-Ekun employs quilling, a lesser-known art form that uses rolled-up strips of paper to create decorative designs to explore themes of gender, mythology, and social pressures. Her candid portraits celebrate the detail of handcraft, in luminous colours.

The 13 participating female artists are; Ayobola Kekere-ekun (Nigeria), Jade Ching-yuk Ng (Hong Kong), Wang Ziling (China), Orlanda Broom (United Kingdom), Ilhwa Kim (South Korea), Mary Ronayne (Ireland), Camille Hannah (Australia), Anne Von Freyberg (The Netherlands), Cynthia Sah (Hong Kong), Dong Li Blackwell (China), Marina Dunbar (Belarus), Sophie Victoria (Australia) and Susana Anaya (Mexico).
