When I first encountered Rori Hee’s art, I was captivated by its electric colors and whimsical forms, each line alive with energy. Yet, beneath this surface vibrancy, her work seemed to hold an unspoken stillness, a quiet voice inviting me closer. The colors weren’t just expressive—they paused, speaking to emotions that words often struggle to convey.

Curating A Parade of Quite has been a journey of exploring the delicate balance between outward vibrancy and inner stillness. Her paintings feel like harmonious contradictions: they invite us to celebrate their playful forms while also prompting reflection on subtle emotions. Each piece embodies a unique tension—an interplay of joy and melancholy, boldness and fragility.

 

​​Rori’s story is woven into every brushstroke. Her whimsical beginnings as a cartoon designer, her years of perseverance through illness, and her eventual return to artistic expression all shape her work. The young girl she paints, seemingly carefree, reveals a deeper emotional complexity—a fusion of hope, vulnerability, and resilience.

This exhibition is a parade of layered emotions. It celebrates color and imagination while also offering a profound sense of tranquility. Each painting feels like a participant in a procession, unified in step yet carrying its own quiet story.

As you walk through A Parade of Quite, I invite you to slow down. Let the colors draw you in, but listen closely to the silence they hold. In this quiet parade, even the loudest voices carry a tender weight, and every whisper longs to be heard.
