Ray Han

Ending｜Hippocampal Overflow “Hippocampal Overflow” will conclude this Saturday. We would like to thank all the guests who visited the exhibition. Originating from an observation of the urgent contemporary condition, the exhibition reflects on the “hippocampus” system—responsible for processing memory and emotion—where, under intense pressure, disordered fantasies overflow into reality. Through their works, the artists attempt to mend these ruptures in imagination. “Hippocampal Overflow” is both a cautionary allegory and an act of repairing memory. RIVER ART GALLERY warmly invites you to seize the final days of the exhibition. 《Hippocampal Overflow》展覽將於本週六結束，感謝所有到場觀展的貴賓。本檔展覽源自於對迫切現實處境的觀察，處理記憶與情感的「海馬迴」系統在高壓之下，失序的幻想滿溢於現實，藝術家則以作品試圖修補斷裂的想像。 海馬迴過載是一場警世的寓言，也是一場對記憶的修復行動，大河美術歡迎人們把握最後時光參觀！ - 【Hippocampal Overflow】 ▎Dates：2026.01.24 -3.14 ▎Artists： Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho @michaelho_official Penny Davenport @pennydavenport Ray Han @ray___han Shingo Yamazaki @shinnyzak Yi-Shuan Lee @yishuanlee - #HippocampalOverflow #contemporaryart #RIVERARTGALLERY #groupshow #大河美術

About the Works｜The Calling of Home In Ray Han’s latest works presented in this exhibition, he reflects the shifting roles and evolving focus of care in his life through the imagery of his paintings. The recurring presence of houses, curtains, the sun and moon, and terrazzo flooring gradually forms a landscape that is distinctly his own. Not content with depicting a fixed scene, he also incorporates the interweaving and fluidity of time and space into the compositions. In “View 5 – Room Through the Day and Night”and “View 6 – On and Off”, Ray Han deconstructs light and shadow, mirror-like reflections, and multiple perspectives, transforming the passage of time and shifting states of mind into quietly evocative visual experiences. Two windows and a door on each house form miniature faces that mirror one another while remaining homes of their own. These images carry the artist’s sense of longing, while also reflecting an idea of “home” that continues to be slowly understood and shaped amid the crossings of a larger world. 韓哲睿本次展出的最新作品，將人生角色以及關懷焦點的轉換，充份反映在畫面上，房屋、窗簾、日月和磨石子地的重複出現形塑出屬於他的風景。不滿足於表現固定的景色，他也將時間、空間的交織和流動表現其中。《View 5-Room Through the Day and Night》和《View 6-On and Off》拆解光影、鏡像和運用多重視角，將時間與心境的流逝表現為耐人尋味的畫面，房屋上兩扇窗戶和一道門，形成了一張張迷你的臉龐，在畫面中互相映照又各自為家，寄託著藝術家的思念之情，以及在大環境交錯之中，仍然慢慢體會與塑形之「家」的想像。 - View 5-Room Through the Day and Night, 2025, Mixed Media on Linen, 91 x 116.5 cm View 6-On and Off, 2025, Mixed Media on Linen, 91 x 116.5 cm - 【Hippocampal Overflow】 ▎Dates：2026.01.24 -3.14 ▎Artists： Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho @michaelho_official Penny Davenport @pennydavenport Ray Han @ray___han Shingo Yamazaki @shinnyzak Yi-Shuan Lee @yishuanlee - #HippocampalOverflow #contemporaryart #RIVERARTGALLERY #groupshow #大河美術

About the Works｜Views from the Island Taiwanese artist Ray Han’s works respond to his current life. “View 2—Outside the Train Window” and “View 3—Iron Ships and Island” present two contrasting perspectives on the contemporary environment: from the train window, the sea comes into view, where massive iron ships appear to be drifting away from an island—or slowly approaching a harbor to dock. They may be carrying fishermen eager to return home and essential supplies, or they may be loaded with destructive weapons. The black-and-white sun in the composition pays homage to Giorgio de Chirico, hinting at the tension between an imagined utopia of safety and the realities of everyday life. Within the recurring cycle of day and night, and the constant commute between home and city, this charged narrative continues to unfold and replay. 臺灣藝術家韓哲睿本次展出作品，回應其當下所處的生命階段。《View 2—Outside the Train Window》與《View 3—Iron Ships and Island》以相對的觀看視角，呈現現今環境的兩種面向：從火車窗外望向海面，巨大的鐵船彷彿正遠離小島，亦或緩緩駛向港灣停靠——它們可能載運著歸心似箭的漁夫與民生物資，也可能承載著毀滅性的武器。畫面中黑白的太陽致敬 De Chirico，並暗示理想中的安全烏托邦與現實日常之間的議題；在日夜交替、家與城市往返的循環裡，這場充滿張力與拉扯的情節不斷輪轉上演。 - View 2 - Outside the Train Window, 2025, Mixed Media on Linen, 72.5 x 91 cm View 3 - Iron Ships and Island, 2025, Mixed Media on Linen, 24 x 35 cm - 【Hippocampal Overflow】 ▎Dates：2026.01.24 -3.14 ▎Artists： Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho @michaelho_official Penny Davenport @pennydavenport Ray Han @ray___han Shingo Yamazaki @shinnyzak Yi-Shuan Lee @yishuanlee - #HippocampalOverflow #contemporaryart #RIVERARTGALLERY #大河美術 #groupshow

Curator guided tour｜ Last Saturday, the curator guided tour “Take a dip in the River” of “Hippocampal Overflow” came to a successful close. We sincerely thank everyone who joined us and spent the evening with us on the eve of Chinese New Year. Rooted in long-term observation and sustained dialogue, the artists and the gallery together present this exhibition as a contemporary allegory—one that speaks to a world in flux, offering companionship through moments of turbulence, and inviting us to retrieve fragmented, hard-to-reassemble memories in search of a place for self-grounding and repose. The exhibition will remain on view until March 14. RIVER ART GALLERY warmly invites you to visit the gallery and witness how art carries collapsing narratives of our time, reflects contemporary conditions, in doing so, nurtures within us the strength to protect what we hold dear. 《Hippocampal Overflow》上週六的「Take a dip in the River：策展人導覽活動」順利落幕，感謝各位與我們度過新年前的寶貴時光。藝術家和RIVER長期觀察後，共同向世界宣告這則「海馬迴過載」的當代寓言，期盼陪伴大家走過震盪，拾起我們難以重組、像碎片般的記憶，覓得一處自我安置之地。 展覽將持續展出至 3 月 14 日，RIVER ART GALLERY邀請各位來到現場，觀看藝術如何乘載崩塌的敘事，反映當代處境之餘，也使得你我心中擁有更多保護所愛的能量。 - 【Hippocampal Overflow】 ▎Dates：2026.01.24 -3.14 ▎Artists： Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho @michaelho_official Penny Davenport @pennydavenport Ray Han @ray___han Shingo Yamazaki @shinnyzak Yi-Shuan Lee @yishuanlee - #HippocampalOverflow #contemporaryart #RIVERARTGALLERY #groupshow #大河美術

Hippocampal Overflow｜ “Hippocampal Overflow” wil remain on view until March 14. In an era of perceptual overload, we invite you to take a moment before the Lunar New Year to step into the exhibition and experience a viewing encounter that disrupts the senses and speaks directly to the symptoms of our time. 《Hippocampal Overflow》持續展出至 3 月 14 日。在感知過載的當代，邀請您把握年前片刻，走入展場，感受一場顛覆感官、直指時代徵候的觀看經驗。 - 【Hippocampal Overflow】 ▎Dates：2026.01.24 -3.14 ▎Artists： Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho @michaelho_official Penny Davenport @pennydavenport Ray Han @ray___han Shingo Yamazaki @shinnyzak Yi-Shuan Lee @yishuanlee - #HippocampalOverflow #contemporaryart #RIVERARTGALLERY #groupshow

Installation Shots｜Hippocampal Overflow On the second floor, works by Japanese and Cantonese American artist Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho unfold through trompe-l’œil box structures that combine historical imagery from Hawaiʻi with fragments of text. Inflected with wry self-reflection, these constructions register the fractured condition of contemporary subjectivity. Crossing the atrium, British artist Penny Davenport reflects on socialization through the gaze of animals and natural forms. Her works invite shifts in perception, guiding viewers to recover moments of quiet inner calm. In the landscapes of Taiwanese artist Ray Han, nostalgia converges with lived reality. Ordinary scenes reveal how distant emotions and concerns have already permeated daily life, reminding us that awareness marks the beginning of care for what we cherish. Working independently yet in resonance, the five artists respond to the psychological condition produced by an excess of reality. Here, art no longer functions solely as representation, but emerges as a structure of containment and provisional shelter. As “hippocampal overflow” is named a defining symptom of our time, Hippocampal Overflow operates both as a collective neural response and an act of memory restoration. Entering the exhibition, viewers are invited to reassemble meaning from residual fragments and to compose a myth of their own—for one reality has already taken shape: we are living within a familiar yet perpetually collapsing narrative. 展覽二樓呈現美籍日粵裔藝術家 Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho 的作品，錯視盒狀結構結合夏威夷歷史圖像與文字片段，以幽默自嘲的視覺口吻，映照當代自我意識的碎裂狀態。穿過天井，英國藝術家 Penny Davenport 透過動物與自然的凝視，回應其長期關注的社會化經驗，引導觀者在破碎之中轉換視角，尋得片刻內在安寧。而在臺灣藝術家 Ray Han 的風景中，懷鄉情感與現實投射交錯，使人意識到那些看似遙遠的情感與議題，早已滲入日常，自覺正是珍惜所愛的起點。五位藝術家以獨立卻相互呼應的方式，回應過剩現實所帶來的心理狀態。在此，藝術不再只是表現，而成為一種暫時安放的結構。 當「海馬迴過載」被指認為時代病徵，《Hippocampal Overflow》既是一場集體的神經反應，也是一種對記憶的修復行動。觀者走入展場，從殘存片段中重組意義，為自身與當下創造一則神話——只因你我正身處於一個熟悉卻持續崩塌的敘事情境之中。 - ▎Dates：2026.01.24 -3.14 ▎Artists： Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho @michaelho_official Penny Davenport @pennydavenport Ray Han @ray___han Shingo Yamazaki @shinnyzak Yi-Shuan Lee @yishuanlee - #HippocampalOverflow #contemporaryart #RIVERARTGALLERY #groupshow #大河美術

Upcoming｜Hippocampal Overflow : Group Show ▎Dates：2026.01.24 - 3.14 ▎Opening：01.24 4PM ▎Artists： Michael Rikio Ming Hee Ho @michaelho_official Penny Davenport @pennydavenport Ray Han @ray___han Shingo Yamazaki @shinnyzak Yi-Shuan Lee @yishuanlee - RIVER ART GALLERY’s group exhibition “Hippocampal Overflow” brings together five artists from diverse cultural and generational backgrounds to articulate a contemporary diagnosis of our time. The term “hippocampal” derives from the “hippocampus”—a region of the human brain responsible for linking memory, emotion, and spatial perception. Once tasked with integrating experience and replaying daily life through dreams during sleep, allowing memory to settle, this system is now under unprecedented pressure. From tariff-driven trade wars and geopolitical instability to the acceleration of the AI economy, social media regulation, and the attack at the end of last year that profoundly shook Taiwanese society, these events collectively point to an urgent and pervasive condition. When the hippocampus becomes overloaded, the boundary between reality and imagination begins to blur, and the subconscious spills outward, forming the absurd mirror of our everyday lives. Through systems and forms drawn from ancient mythology, childhood consciousness, nature, and language, the participating artists respond to this condition of excess reality. “Hippocampal Overflow” functions both as a collective neural response and as an act of memory repair. As “Hippocampal Overflow” is repeatedly identified as a defining symptom of our era, the exhibition invites viewers to reassemble meaning from remaining fragments and to construct a new myth for themselves and for the present moment. 大河美術群展《Hippocampal Overflow》集結五位來自不同文化與世代背景的藝術家，共同提出一則當代診斷。「Hippocampal」源自人腦中連結記憶、情緒與空間感知的系統――海馬迴，本該整合經驗，並在睡眠成夢重播日常，使記憶沉澱轉化的存在，如今正承受前所未有的壓力。過去一年，關稅貿易戰與地緣政治動盪，到AI經濟加速、社群媒體管制，以及去年末深刻撼動臺灣社會的攻擊事件，皆指向一迫切而普遍的現實狀態：當海馬迴過載，現實與想像的界線將逐漸模糊，潛意識外溢成我們荒誕的日常鏡像。 藝術家透過歷史神話、童年意識、自然與語言等形式，回應了這種過剩現實。《Hippocampal Overflow》是集體神經反應，也是對記憶的修復行動。當「海馬迴過載」被反覆指認為時代病徵，我們邀請觀者從殘存片段中重組意義，創造新的神話。 - #HippocampalOverflow #contemporaryart #RIVERARTGALLERY #groupshow #大河美術
