February 21, 2026 Coffee with the Artist was an intimate Saturday morning event encouraging the public to engage with artist Alison Van Pelt. Taking place February 21st, 2026, from 11 AM-1 PM at 150 W 55th Street, NYC (Gallery Chang NY), attendees enjoyed catered coffee and sweet treats from GoGoJang cafe next door. The event was designed so that visitors could speak with Van Pelt in depth, a rare opportunity for intensive and direct engagement with an artist for the general public. Those who joined us included repeat attendees from the previous Thursday evening’s Opening Reception, as well as new walk-ins from the neighborhood. Dozens of guests came through, many of whom were seeing Van Pelt’s work for the first time. During the visit, gallery owner JunHwan Chang took an iPhone video of Van Pelt in front of her portrait of Chris Cornell from her S’aints series. The portrait, in the left section of the gallery entryway, was dubbed off-camera by Van Pelt and her friends as “the hot guy corner,” with Cornell joined by portraits of David Beckham and Jesus Christ. Van Pelt has a good sense of humor–reflected again in her portraits of Rupert Murdoch and Pete Doherty, which both are both accompanied by the phrasing, “I’d Be Loaded,” a play on words referencing Murdoch’s wealth and Doherty’s rockstar cocaine habit. When asked about these pieces, Van Pelt noted the connection and added that Doherty used to date supermodel Kate Moss. The reference to celebrities and the use of celebrity as a type of iconography is woven throughout the exhibition, though not a sole theme. Van Pelt’s work is clearly influenced by Hollywood, which makes sense considering the artist is based in Los Angeles, the U.S. (and world’s) celeb epicenter. As aforementioned, Van Pelt’s themes are not limited to stars. Much of her work includes more obscure references to art history, revealing a deeply intelligent mind: Van Pelt was formally trained in both California and Florence. Her website cites Agnes Martin, Robert Rauschenberg, and Yayoi Kusama as key influences. Of Kusama, Van Pelt noted during the event that early in her career, Kusama had written an unsolicited letter to Georgia O’Keeffe, and that the latter artist, far more established at the time, responded. In the ensuing correspondence, one piece of advice from O’Keeffe to Kusama stands out: “show your art to everyone you can.” Gallery Chang is happy to support Alison Van Pelt in such an endeavor. -Celestina C Billington, Program & Workshops Coordinator, Gallery Chang

February 19, 2026 The Opening Reception of Alison Van Pelt’s 40 Years of Painting Portraits at Gallery Chang was a resounding success, as a large crowd gathered to celebrate, with champagne flowing throughout the evening. On display are a total of 28 pieces, which range in size and content but are primarily large portraits. Those featured in the works include artists like Louise Bourgeois, Gwen Stefani, and Samuel Beckett–and many also include statements such as, “I’d Be God’s Gift,” or “I’d Have My Way With Words.” Van Pelt does indeed have a way with words; her California-raised calm and charm were much appreciated by gallery visitors who had the opportunity to ask her questions about her pieces directly. She was happy to discuss her process, background, and other details at length over GoGoJang Dubai chocolate cookies. Gallery goers gained more insight about how her paintings can take up to two to three days with minimal breaks and no sleep, particularly the larger 5’ x 4’ works. People were surprised to learn that every detail of her artworks is hand-painted, many believing that she had utilized photographs for the portraits due to their expert detailing. Those in attendance included Alison’s close family and friends, many of whom traveled from California to see the show. Also present were New York gallery scenesters, Gallery Chang regulars, and walk-ins from the neighborhood. It was a Thursday evening from 6-8 pm, so many walk-ins were on their way to dinner or a show (or both) with traffic peaking at 7 pm. Throughout the night, the flow of people was steady, and people took care to view each of the works. The images draw the viewer in; they evoke a sense of dissolution. Of her process, Van Pelt has been quoted by culture writer Robert A Sobieszek as stating, “Every painting begins as a fact…The act of blurring deconstructs the fact and reveals an ideology–my own perception, my own uncertainty.” The event took place at our Midtown Manhattan location and marked the first solo exhibition in New York for Van Pelt. It was not the artist’s first time showing with us. Her work has also appeared at both our Seoul and Englewood locations, in last year’s exhibition The Unified Field. New works are included in this latest update to her publicly available oeuvre, including the 2026 pieces “Dylan,” “Bruce Springsteen,” and “Spotted Jack Rabbit w/ Crow Nation Turquoise.” The latter piece is of a native american warrior Chief who was photographed in 1898 by F.A. Rinehart. His image is the most repeated in the portraiture series of this exhibition, spanning back to 2005, with Van Pelt returning to tracing his face for over twenty years. The exhibition does not solely include portraits. There are also flowers, a hummingbird, a lion, and a skull, smaller works that may be more accessible to beginner collectors or someone looking for the perfect accent to a small space. These pieces, like the rest in the show, feature Van Pelt’s signature blurring style. -Celestina C Billington, Program & Workshops Coordinator, Gallery Chang

February 12, 2026 "Around the Paintings" was a curated tasting event at Gallery Chang NY that celebrated Korean heritage, art, and culture. Centered on the works of artist Cho Yong Ik, his oeuvre was highlighted by thoughtful pairings with curated rice wine from Hana Makgeolli, an artisanal brewery, and a selection of small bites from MissKOREA BBQ. It is widely accepted that Cho Yong Ik is one of the most important figures of Korean abstraction, having represented the country at various Biennales and with definitive retrospectives at key institutions, including Olivier Malingue in London, Edouard Malingue in Hong Kong, as well as Han Gallery and Sungkok Gallery in Seoul. A leading figure of the Dansaekhwa movement, a Korean artistic movement of the 1970s, the works of Ik and his contemporaries within the movement wed Eastern philosophy with Western minimalism. Attendees were delighted to learn of the breadth of Ik's work, Gallery Chang's collection spans decades from his collection --including his abstract figures, acrylic dot paintings, and wave series. The pieces vary in size, method, and emotive evocation, but they are united in their meditative quality. The essence of Cho Yong Ik's abstract language was translated first by a pairing of Hyunmi Takju, a dry and medium-bodied wine with notes of warm chestnut and earth. While sipping, viewers observed the Textural Grey Painting, noting how the subtle variations present in the wine mirrored those in the painting. This was enjoyed with Korean pancakes, buchimgae, which has a visual texture that mirrors the texture of the painting. The following pairing was Ik's Pastel Geometric Abstraction works with Omija Makgeolli, which is medium dry, effervescent with notes of pink peppercorn and citrus. These paintings are more structured than the prior, teasing images of men in period attire, though nothing feels rigid or dominant in these figures --whose faces and hands remain unpainted. As with Ik's other paintings, meaning is not overt, and the work operates through balance and restraint. Notably, these paintings make use of the traditional five Korean colors "obangsaek," which is why we paired it with the five berry flavor profile of Omija Makgeolli. To balance the wine, the light bite was hwajeon, a Korean flower pancake. The soft texture and delicate floral notes of the pancake complemented the oil painting's tonal sensitivity, reinforcing their sense of harmony. Our third pairing was Takju 16, a heavy-bodied and near-dry wine with floral and fruity notes of melon, green apple, and banana, and bulgogi salad. The contrast of the flavors of the wine and the beef salad mirrored the contrast in the painting, which was the most colorful work in the collection on display. This moment was the evening's anchor, offering substance and warmth in both flavor and form. Structural Color Field Painting is oil on canvas, created in 1966. The final pairing was Hwaju 12, a light, dry, earthy wine with bright lactic acid, paired with Gyeongdan, which are glutinous rice cakes filled with red bean paste. Our dessert was made even sweeter by the sight of Cho Yong Ik's Wave Series, which, like the food and wine pairing, benefits from their restraint. Each "wave" depicted on the surface of the varying canvas represents a repeated flick of Ik's wrist, suggesting technical exertion on the artist's part, and yet observing these works gives the opposite feeling, a sense of calm. To close the evening with these works left attendees in a state of joyful reflection, having had a thoughtful and tasty experience with us here at Gallery Chang. We look forward to the next. -Celestina C Billington, Program & Workshops Coordinator, Gallery Chang

C1 - New York C4- Seoul C2 - Middletown C3 - Englewood VAULT Archive EXHIBITIONS C1 - New York C1 | NEW YORK ON VIEW | Jul 18 - July 14, 2026 GROUP Exhibition Structure and Texture brings together five artists whose practices explore the dynamic tension between material presence and visual perception. Working across painting, sculpture, and textile-based abstraction, each artist approaches structure not as a fixed framework, but as something built, fractured, layered, and continually reimagined. From sculptural construction and compressed form to atmospheric surfaces and tactile rhythms, the works reveal how texture can shape both the physical body of an artwork and the viewer’s experience of space. The exhibition invites audiences to encounter texture not merely as a sensory quality, but as a conceptual language through which rhythm, memory, density, and meaning emerge.

Featuring Stephen Robert Johns, Kim Hongbin, Kim Mine, and Rokkan Kim, this three-day presentation brings together diverse artistic voices that reflect America as both a historical idea and a living cultural landscape—shaped by freedom, imagination, identity, migration, technology, and creative exchange. Held in New York from July 3–5, the pop-up invites visitors to experience Independence Day not only as a national celebration, but as an opportunity to reconsider what America means today through art, memory, and possibility. Read More C4- Seoul C4 | SEOUL On View | MAY 1 - JUN 2, 2026 SOLO Exhibition Choi Woolga: Raw Signal Choi Woolga transforms the canvas into a field of primal energy, drawing on primitive colors, rhythmic figures, and instinctive symbols that seem to emerge from the unconscious. Inspired by the visual language of cave paintings and expressions that precede fixed systems of language and order, his works unfold through cryptic signs, simplified forms, and a raw, playful sense of movement. Rather than depicting the visible world, Choi evokes a more elemental realm of memory, impulse, and human emotion, where painting becomes a direct record of inner sensation. Raw Signal reveals a visual language that feels at once ancient and immediate, an untamed rhythm of consciousness made visible through color, gesture, and symbolic force.

Bringing together three artists with distinct yet resonant visual languages, the exhibition explores the relationship between form, surface, and material presence. Across painterly gesture, layered composition, and textile-based abstraction, their works reveal how structure and texture shape not only the visual architecture of an artwork, but also the viewer’s sensory, spatial, and emotional experience. Together, the exhibition invites a deeper consideration of how materiality becomes a language of rhythm, depth, and perception.

PRESS SBS NEWS | JAN 13, 2026 Cho Yong ik: A Journey of Self-Negation and the Evolution of Korean Abstraction We are pleased to introduce the profound artistic legacy of Cho Yong Ik, a titan of Korean modern art whose work serves as a vital bridge across the history of Korean abstraction. A recent retrospective highlights his evolution from early figurative experimentation to the serene heights of Dansaekhwa (monochrome painting). From Figurative Roots to the Informel Movement Cho Yong-ik’s journey began in the late 1950s. His early works, such as the 1957 piece depicting a boy with an accordion, display a sophisticated understanding of cubist structures reminiscent of Picasso. During this period, his "Expressionist" techniques—characterized by raw, vigorous brushwork—earned him early acclaim in the National Art Exhibition. Soon after, he became a central figure in the Korean Informel movement, utilizing thick, textured knife marks to explore the primal origins of life and materiality. The Rhythms of Deletion: Pointillism and Wave Patterns In the 1970s, Cho’s style underwent a dramatic transformation. He began a meticulous process of "erasing" through dots—a technique akin to musical staccato. This rhythmic repetition evolved into the iconic wave patterns that defined his contribution to the Dansaekhwa era. For Cho, these repetitive gestures were not merely aesthetic; they were a way to deepen his philosophical contemplation through symbols and the physical act of painting. The Philosophy of "Self-Negation" and the "Mushim" Series In his later years, Cho achieved a state of artistic transcendence known as Mushim (mindlessness). In this phase, he painted bamboo leaves with effortless, unadorned touches, reaching a meditative state of "Simui" (the depth of the mind). Cho Yong-ik famously defined the core of modern art as "Self-Negation." He believed that by constantly erasing each moment of his past life and work, he could clear the path for the creation of a new existence. This philosophy of continuous renewal remains a cornerstone of Korean contemporary art.

His latest exhibition captures the silent, majestic movements of the cosmos onto the canvas. The Interweaving of Infinite Lines Guffogg’s canvases are filled with countless thin, interwoven lines with no discernible beginning or end. As dozens of these layers accumulate, they create a sense of deep space—an abyss that resembles the orbital paths of planets. These lines represent the history of stars, born hundreds of thousands of light-years ago, whose light is only now reaching our eyes. Technique: A Devotional Process The artist’s unique technique involves binding three brushes of different sizes together, moving them in unison to translate the infinite world onto the canvas. This repetitive process of drawing slender, trajectory-like lines is akin to a spiritual practice or a seeker’s meditation. The Intersection of Past and Present Inspired by images from the James Webb Space Telescope, Guffogg focuses on the flow of time and space. His philosophy is rooted in the idea that what we perceive as the "past" (the light from distant stars) is actually our "present." His work challenges the viewer to face the traces of yesterday, the shadows of today, and the brilliance of tomorrow all at once.
