ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The Alberta Society of Artists is pleased to present the solo exhibition “Receptacalum” featuring the work of Alberta artist Jeongmin Ahn.

There will be an opening reception and artist talk May 16, 2026 at 3pm-4pm.

“Most of my paintings explore the still life using Hyperrealism, attempting to push the limits of paints ability to capture the real. Hyperrealistic paintings require attention to detail, and in giving this attention to an object rendered in this style, the objects I paint are arguably beautified in a way that suggests value. Consumerism is a corruptor of value, and this is the statement I am trying to communicate with my current paintings.”
