For more than 35 years, Brigite NaHoN’s work has been a constant search to find the moment of life, the point of equilibrium when the inner self reaches a new harmony with the outer world with an infinity of possibilities. My aesthetic goal is to give a sense of freedom by a unexpected balance of materials and shapes that I use with no limitation. It is a daily attempt to reach new ways of seeing, to feel the surrounding space, the spectators and ourselves.
NaHoN works have been and is presented in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide: Tel Aviv (Bruno Art Group), Seoul (Pink Gallery), Moscow (Galerie Iragui), Paris (Jérôme de Noirmont Galerie), New York City (Cristinerose Gallery and Stephan Stoyanov Gallery), Rio-de-Janeiro (CCBB Rio), London (Serpentine Gallery) and so on.
