Candles V2 by HENRY HU
Candles V2 takes the candle as a starting point and leaves the literal behind almost immediately. What Hu retains is the quality of candlelight itself: warmth distributed unevenly, soft edges, the suggestion of flicker. The composition builds around vertical rhythms — forms that rise without quite resolving into flame — set against grounds that hold their own quiet colour. There is a meditative quality to the work, a slowing of pace that feels intentional. Hu is using familiar domestic material to find something more private and still.
On canvas, the warmth embedded in Candles V2 finds its natural medium. The woven cotton surface holds Hu's soft gradients and textural passages with a richness that paper cannot replicate. Produced in our Berlin studio — archival inks, museum-grade materials, made by hand.
