This colorful, abstract watercolor by Hon Chew Hee depicts a cinder cone with trees circling the base. Hee was a giant among Hawaiian modernists, versatile in various art media and techniques, from murals to printmaking to watercolors.
This dreamlike painting typifies our island landscape and captivates the senses with its rich color and soft texture. Cinder Cone shows Hee’s skill in blending lifelike forms with “abstract backgrounds.”
Born in Maui and raised in China, Hon Chew Hee was trained in Europe and around the Pacific Rim, thus combining aspects of brush painting and cubist forms with naturalism.
