haha is a suite of new paintings by Emma Hadzi Antich, her first standalone solo show at Northern-Southern.

Archetypes and symbols are painted as sensual things by Hadzi Antich. Grass breathes like the fine hairs of the world as a body. Rocks have the presence of ensouled creatures. Boundary frames are absurdly isometric and smoothed, the borders of disembodied minds and amputated desires. Lurking quiet in Hadzi Antich’s meaning-scapes are rare fauna: a hidden cat with glowing eyes, angling wolves, and solitary children.

Iconographic and hard, Langland’s canvases are demonic distortions of pop-underground graphics and alchemical symbolism, slowly skewed and painted crisp in meticulously toned black, red, and yellow, with shocks of occasional color. The paintings mimic what we know, like the language of the beings that may replace us. The forms feel almost familiar, but harshed, and with a meaning just out of reach.

Agnosia is a disorder that makes one unable to recognize, know, or understand things by seeing them, which to me is an evocative way to think of nonobjective painting. Each painting in this group acts as an “Agnosiator,” working to thwart or elude straightforward understanding, and to take the viewer from a safe place of certainty, to a place where the absence of immediate meaning can make possible countless new meanings, new ideas, leaving far behind the need for knowing.
