Mary Hong's Mystic River

A canvas of commanding scale, Mary Hong's Mystic River for John Richard unfolds across sixty inches of width with the quiet authority of water finding its own level. The composition holds a nickel-finished presence that bridges the painterly and the architectural, making it as much an object of structure as of expression. At thirty-six inches high, the proportions are cinematic without overwhelming — a work that asks to be placed where the room can breathe around it.
