Riverside Gallery in Hackensack, New Jersey, presents a solo exhibition titled "MAZE" featuring glass artist Keunhee Park, running from June 19 to July 6, 2026. Park, a South Korean artist who earned a BFA from Namseoul University in 2006, creates glass sculptures that combine wood and various glass types to explore transparency, texture, and form. The works construct labyrinthine structures symbolizing life's complexities, with angular forms suggesting neural networks and human consciousness. An opening reception is scheduled for June 20.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the work of an emerging international glass artist whose practice bridges material experimentation and psychological depth. Park's journey—from leaving a graduate program at Hong-ik University to pursue art independently in the United States, and his participation in notable shows like "40 Under 40: Young Artist National Showcase"—reflects the resilience and evolving narratives of contemporary artists. The show also underscores Riverside Gallery's role in supporting both regional and international artists, contributing to the local art scene in New Jersey.
