Hedy Yang & Cevin Parker: Dual exhibitions opening at Square One Gallery

Square One is proud to invite you to the dual opening receptions for Hedy Yang's solo exhibition "Of Moments & Memories" & Cevin Parker's solo exhibition "Behind A Dream". Opening at Square One Gallery Friday, December 12th from 6-9pm. Join us for an evening with the artists present, cocktails, and refreshments.

Hedy Yang: Of Moments & Memories

Hedy Yang is a Detroit based ceramic artist whose work transforms fleeting moments into enduring objects. As a first generation Chinese American artist, Yang approaches ceramics with a sense of care, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that reflects both cultural inheritance and personal experience. Her practice spans functional and sculptural forms, unified by a desire to elevate the small rituals of daily life. What begins as an observation of a sky, a season, or a lived experience becomes a highly considered ceramic surface defined by precision, softness, and an intuitive use of color.

Of Moments and Memories brings together Yang’s atmospheric vessels and sculptural wall works, each piece capturing the emotional register of a particular place in time. Vases painted with shifting clouds, lightning, and gradients of sunrise and dusk speak to the changing states of the natural world. They reference the sky as both a familiar presence and a metaphor for memory. Her faceted wall pieces, shaped like gemstones or raindrops, refract these same skies into intimate scale, turning passing impressions into objects that feel tender, precious, and contemplative.

Cevin Parker: "Behind A Dream"

Cevin Parker is a Berlin based painter whose practice channels emotion through color. Working in abstraction, he builds his compositions from soft gradients, suspended gestures, and fluid bands of pigment that seem to hover in place. Parker’s self taught origins lend an instinctive edge to his process, one shaped by impulse & sensitivity. Each painting emerges as a reflection of his internal world, informed by his ongoing research into color psychology and the way emotion moves through memory. His influences span the expansive fields of mid-century Color Field painting to the atmospheric studies of Gerhard Richter, yet his work retains a distinctly personal voice.

Behind A Dream, Parker’s debut presentation with Square One Gallery, brings together his Dreamland series, a body of work shaped by the subtle architecture of dreams. These paintings unfold across pastel horizons and weightless spaces, where ribbons of acrylic appear to float, twist, or dissolve. The backgrounds, created through layered spray paint, hold a quiet glow that anchors the energetic movements above them. Within this tension, Parker captures the shifting emotional terrain of the subconscious. Bright pinks and blues recall moments of clarity. Deep reds surface as traces of unrest. Soft greens and yellows breathe warmth into the imagined landscapes. Each gesture records a feeling or memory as it rises, breaks, or transforms.
