- SWELL OF LIGHT
May 7 - Jun 16, 2026 Intro Catalog Installation Views Next [C1] New York SWELL OF LIGHT May 7 - Jun 16, 2026 Jimi Gleason / Shane Guffogg / Andy Moses INTRO Light, in this exhibition, is not a fixed form but a condition in flux—constantly emerging, dissolving, and re-forming. Like the swell of the ocean, it gathers, lingers, and disperses, moving across time and space. Swell of Light brings together three California-based artists— Shane Guffogg, Andy Moses, and Jimi Gleason—to explore how light shifts through nature, time, and perception. While each artist has developed their practice along a distinct trajectory, they are loosely connected through a shared sensibility shaped by California’s environment and the artistic lineage of the Light and Space Movement. Across the exhibition, their works begin from subtle transformations found in the ocean, the sky, and the passage of time. Yet these are not representations of landscape, but investigations into how perception itself takes form. What matters here is not what is seen, but how it changes, how it lingers, and how it disappears. Each artist approaches this inquiry through a different perceptual axis: duration, motion, and reflection. Shane Guffogg’s paintings center on the persistence of light—on time as something that accumulates and remains. Color, in his work, functions not merely as a visual element but as a trace of layered duration. Built through successive strata, his surfaces hold the residue of light, suspended between presence and disappearance. Rather than capturing a fleeting moment, his work invites contemplation of how a moment extends, deepens, and endures. His paintings evoke a non-linear sense of time in which past and present coexist, allowing memory to surface and recede within the same visual field—an approach that resonates with the temporal sensibility found in the poetry of T. S. Eliot, where time is not sequential but continuously reconfigured. Andy Moses approaches light through material and movement. Deeply informed by the dynamics of the ocean, his process involves the controlled flow and rotation of paint across the surface. As pigment moves, so too does light, shifting with the viewer’s position and dissolving any fixed image. His works embody a sense of fluid energy, translating natural motion into a visual experience in constant transformation. Jimi Gleason explores reflection and surface as a means of spatial perception. Working with metallic materials, his paintings do not simply contain light, but actively engage their surroundings, incorporating the viewer’s movement into the work itself. His visual language—marked by banded structures across the surface—draws in part from photographic framing, particularly the immediacy of Polaroid imagery. Influenced by experiences ranging from surfing to aviation, his work expands the viewer’s awareness of horizon, atmosphere, and spatial depth. Though working across different dimensions—time, material, and space—the three artists converge in their attention to a shared condition: the moment before form fully settles. It is a state in which experience gathers, perception sharpens, and meaning begins to emerge. This exhibition does not seek to capture that moment, but to remain within it—to trace the process through which it comes into being and dissolves again. It is within this shifting field that distinct rhythms and temporalities intersect. These currents ultimately converge within a single place. Each artist, at different moments, has passed through New York, carrying away impressions that remain embedded within their work. These experiences do not appear directly, but linger subtly within the surfaces and structures of the paintings. Swell of Light marks the return of these accumulated sensibilities to the city. At the intersection of California’s atmospheric conditions and New York’s lived experience, light, time, and memory are reconfigured—and felt anew. CATALOG View Catalog here INSTALLATION VIEWS
- Kim Kang Yong
South Korea, 1950 Artist Biography Works Next Kim Kang Yong South Korea, 1950 BIOGRAPHY Kim Kang Yong is one of South Korea’s most celebrated and influential contemporary artists, known for his groundbreaking exploration of Hyperrealism and its philosophical implications. Born in Jeong-Eup, Korea, in 1950, Kim earned his Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts degrees from Hongik University, a renowned institution in Seoul. Over his illustrious five-decade career, Kim has garnered both national and international recognition for his innovative approach to blending realism and conceptual thought. Kim’s signature motif, bricks, has become a defining symbol of his work and a hallmark of contemporary Korean art. His hyper-realistic paintings go far beyond simple representation, transforming ordinary bricks into profound metaphors for the complexities of modern life. Inspired by the concept of simulacre (simulacra), as explored by philosopher Jean Baudrillard, Kim’s bricks transcend their original forms to become autonomous realities. These works challenge viewers to reflect on fundamental questions: What is real? How do images construct our understanding of truth and history? This intellectual depth sets Kim apart as a visionary in the art world. Kim’s technical mastery further elevates his work. Beginning in the 1980s, he introduced innovative materials such as sand, loess, and kaolin to create textured surfaces that evoke both the tangible and the conceptual. His combination of meticulous detail, tactile experimentation, and traditional Korean artistic techniques has redefined Hyperrealism through a uniquely Korean lens, earning him acclaim as a leader in the global art community. His impact is highlighted by prestigious retrospectives and exhibitions, including KIM Kang Yong: Hyper Realistic Bricks at Sungkok Art Museum in 2023. This milestone exhibition, celebrating his 50-year career, showcased the evolution of his art in three distinct phases: his early explorations of alienation and place in the 1970s, his innovative use of materials in the 1980s and 1990s, and his contemporary works, which include monochrome and multi-colored bricks. Kim’s ability to continually innovate while remaining true to his philosophical inquiries underscores his enduring influence. Kim’s art has been featured in major galleries, museums, and collections worldwide, solidifying his reputation as one of Korea’s most significant contributions to the international art scene. His works have become symbols of Korea’s unique reinterpretation of global art movements, bridging cultural and philosophical divides. Currently living and working in Korea, Kim Kang Yong continues to create thought-provoking works that challenge perceptions and inspire reflection. His paintings, at once visually striking and intellectually profound, reaffirm his status as a pioneer in contemporary art and a key figure in shaping the trajectory of Korean art on the global stage.

- Structure and Texture
Jun 19 - Jul 14, 2026 Intro Catalog Installation Views Next [C1] New York Structure and Texture Jun 19 - Jul 14, 2026 Steven Seinberg / Mark Acetelli / Bret Price / Moon Insoo / Anon INTRO We do not simply look at surfaces. We respond to them. Some surfaces slow the breath, drawing the body into a state of quiet attention. Others sharpen perception, producing a subtle tension that resists stillness. These differences do not arise from material alone, but from the density and interval shaped by structure and texture. This exhibition traces those shifts—how works regulate the viewer’s movement, duration, and sensory awareness. Between holding and release, between calm and unease, each work proposes a distinct mode of encounter. Bret Price bends steel into suspended moments of force. His structures hold tension in their very form, where gravity is not resolved but continuously negotiated. The space around them tightens; the body registers their weight before the eye fully understands. Moon Insoo constructs surfaces through repetition and accumulation. Working with industrial materials such as steel and cement, he allows time, pressure, and process to settle into the work. Structure becomes surface; surface becomes the record of force. Steven Seinberg develops luminous fields where color and light unfold gradually. His paintings do not assert themselves; they invite prolonged looking. Tension here is diffused, suspended within the atmosphere, felt over time rather than at once. Mark Acetelli works through layering and erasure, reducing the image to a state of quiet intensity. His surfaces hover between presence and absence, where what is withheld becomes as active as what remains. ANON builds images from dyed and layered fabric. Cut, joined, and reassembled, the material resists illusion. Color is absorbed rather than applied, and the surface emerges as a constructed skin—at once image and object, soft yet insistent in its presence. Across these practices, structure and texture are not fixed categories but shifting conditions. Structure stabilizes, yet it also compresses. Texture activates, yet it can also dissolve. What emerges is a spectrum of tension—subtle, physical, perceptual—that alters how we stand, how we look, and how long we remain. CATALOG View Catalog here INSTALLATION VIEWS
- Illuminated Reflection
Apr 3 - May 6, 2025 Intro Catalog Installation Views Next [C1] New York Illuminated Reflection Apr 3 - May 6, 2025 Jimi Gleason INTRO In Illuminated Reflection, Jimi Gleason invites viewers into a luminous realm where light is not merely an element, but a guiding force—shaping perception, revealing form, and transforming space. Guided by Light, as the artist describes, is both a philosophy and a process; it is the invisible collaborator behind each surface, each layer, and each shift in color or sheen. Working primarily with silver nitrate and iridescent pigments on canvas, Gleason explores the interplay between light and materiality. His recent works—featured in this New York solo exhibition—extend beyond the traditional boundaries of painting, transforming static surfaces into reflective environments that evolve with the viewer’s movement and the space’s ambient light. Rather than presenting a fixed narrative, Gleason offers a meditative experience: one that encourages stillness, observation, and the subtle revelations that occur when the ordinary is illuminated. His work challenges us to slow down and see—truly see—not just what lies on the surface, but what is shaped by the unseen presence of light. As we navigate the luminous passages of Illuminated Reflection, we are reminded that light is not just what helps us perceive the world—it is also what reveals our place within it.

- Kim Hongbin
South Korea, 1988 Artist Biography Works Next Kim Hongbin South Korea, 1988 BIOGRAPHY Hongbin Kim, also known by his artistic name "Vanhada," is a South Korean artist celebrated for his bold and emotionally resonant abstract works. Born in Seoul in 1988, Kim studied painting at Hongik University, where he developed a strong foundation in fine art. He later moved to New York, where he has been an active participant in the city’s dynamic art scene, showcasing his ability to blend traditional Korean aesthetics with contemporary abstract expression. Kim’s works are marked by vibrant color palettes, raw textures, and a visceral engagement with themes of rupture, healing, and nostalgia. His canvases often feature marks and openings that suggest wounds—physical, emotional, and cultural. These are not mere traces but profound scars, unresolved and alive. As Kim himself reflects, “Here lies a burst, a trace too vast to call a mark and too raw to name a scar.” His paintings delve into the process of regeneration, asking how the foundation that birthed something new might undergo a cleansing and transformative journey. Kim’s personal experiences of dislocation and adaptation deeply inform his work. Having left his homeland for New York under the guise of study, he grappled with a constant sense of chaos and unease. His longing to return to the place of rupture is palpable in his art, yet he channels the stimuli and stresses of Manhattan life into exaggerated color and dynamic forms. His work becomes a manifestation of nostalgia, a vivid homage to what has been left behind and what has been forged anew. Notable exhibitions include his participation in RESONANCE at the Korean Cultural Center Gallery in Tenafly, New Jersey, and Unbound Playground at Gallery Jang. Both shows highlighted his unique ability to explore the interplay between chaos and structure, rupture and regeneration. His works resonate with viewers through their emotional depth and dynamic visual language. Currently living and working in New York, Hongbin Kim continues to use his art to explore the complexities of identity, displacement, and renewal. His paintings invite audiences to reflect on their own experiences of transformation and healing, offering a vivid and deeply personal narrative that bridges cultural and emotional landscapes.

- Shane Guffogg
United States, 1962 Artist Biography Works Next Shane Guffogg United States, 1962 BIOGRAPHY Shane Guffogg is an internationally celebrated contemporary painter whose abstract works bridge the emotive depth of classical traditions with the innovative spirit of modern abstraction. Born in California’s San Joaquin Valley in 1962, Guffogg grew up surrounded by vast landscapes and open skies that profoundly shaped his artistic vision. He studied at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) under the mentorship of influential artists like John Baldessari, where he developed his distinctive approach to exploring light, space, and the human experience through painting. Guffogg’s style is defined by intricate layers of translucent oil paint, meticulously applied in a glazing technique that creates depth and luminosity. His paintings feature rhythmic, looping forms that seem to flow endlessly, evoking the sensation of movement and infinity. The works often oscillate between sharp clarity and soft diffusion, inviting viewers into a contemplative interplay between light, color, and form. Drawing inspiration from Renaissance masters such as Rembrandt and Caravaggio, as well as Abstract Expressionists like Mark Rothko, Guffogg’s works transcend time and tradition, resonating with universal themes of perception, spirituality, and transformation. In 2024, Guffogg presented a landmark solo exhibition titled At the Still Point of the Turning World – Strangers of Time at the Scala Contarini del Bovolo in Venice, Italy. This exhibition, aligned with the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, showcased 21 new paintings inspired by T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. Through this series, Guffogg explored the interplay of time, memory, and migration, weaving themes of transience and permanence into his work. Notably, the exhibition incorporated augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI), offering viewers a multisensory experience that deepened their connection to the paintings. Guffogg’s works have been exhibited extensively in the United States, Europe, and Asia, and are housed in major public and private collections, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Hammer Museum, and the Vatican Museum. His ability to combine technical mastery with profound emotional resonance has earned him widespread acclaim as one of the most significant abstract artists of his generation. Currently based in Los Angeles, Guffogg continues to create works that challenge and expand the boundaries of abstraction. His paintings serve as meditative spaces where viewers can reflect on the interconnectedness of light, time, and human experience, offering a profound and transformative encounter with the art of seeing.

- Shane Guffogg: Part 5, The Life of the Artist and the Creative Process: "Certainty and Truth" | GALLERY CHANG
Back Shane Guffogg: Part 5, The Life of the Artist and the Creative Process: "Certainty and Truth" SHANE GUFFOGG: PART 5, THE LIFE OF THE ARTIST AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS: "CERTAINTY AND TRUTH" A segment from the studio manager (Victoria Chapman) on Shane’s creative life in the studio, and at the ranch The beginning layers of a new Still Point for Venice 2024 The Life of the Artist and the Creative Process – Part 5 Certainty and Truth A segment from the studio manager (Victoria Chapman) on Shane’s creative life in the studio, and at the ranch In Part 5, we are sharing Shane’s daily routine and how one thought leads to the next and, yes, there is some certainty and truth here. I have heard visitors to the studio say on many occasions, “Shane, this is amazing, things just seem to line up for you.” How does this unfold? As the observer in the room, I can honestly say, it’s not as easy as it may appear. Sure, there is a certain amount of luck, but the reality is there are no shortcuts. Shane works everyday all day, and he doesn’t take holidays. It’s like water that flows from one stream to the next-- it’s automatic for him. Whether he is in his orchard or vineyard tending to the fruit trees, remodeling a building (he is currently creating the “wine room” with two childhood friends), or applying the first layer of gesso to canvas, he is merely being in the moment. Somehow along the way of Shane’s early beginnings, this ability to stay in the moment took shape. And now it’s automatic. Whatever he touches, be it breakfast, a grapevine, or the brush to which he is about to create art, there is a certain consciousness that becomes absolute with all his heart, and in return the universe responds. Sometimes the circle is complete, an exhibition is booked, or a painting is sold. With total transparency, there is honesty that goes into a task. When I come across quotes from Hegel’s Phenomenology of the Spirit , it stops me in my tracks to reflect on what is going on in Shane’s life, and studio practice. Inside the Central California studio Looking out the studio window “In grasping the thought that the single individual consciousness is in itself - Absolute Essence, consciousness has returned into itself. Phenomenology of the Spirit page 139 If you have been following this series, you know I am thumbing through Hegel’s Phenomenology of the Spirit . Hegel’s book explores the principles of self-identity and reaches into the dialectic. I will not go into that, but I will share why I keep returning to this book. For me, it has been a proverbial jumping-off place. It is a reminder of why art is made and its process. And then there is the creative flow, which I believe is another intertwined topic. A few days ago, I was reminded of a conversation I had thirty-three years ago with a fellow art student, “How can I make art when I have barely experienced the world myself?” That was a wild thought, and it got me thinking about Shane and his life experiences as it’s translated into art. There have been two films and podcast that have been published about Shane’s studio and ranch life. Some might ask, how does Shane divide his time? What are his daily rituals, shifting from one task or painting to the next. There is minimal separation – separated only by what he touches. How does the physicality of being become the impetus of art making? Creativity is an alchemic process of transforming truth into evidence. We can see it from the beginning in cave paintings, and for thousands of years, this has been observed from stone to iron and now into the information age. Shane wrote an article that touches on this subject, The Art of the Ancients Art Confidential Magazine, April 2023 Notes on the studio wall Shane’s article, The Art of the Ancients In progress .. for 2024 Venice Biennale Artists have always contemplated the landscape. Whether this means tagging the wall or making mental notes, it’s the human condition to observe and document one’s findings. Cezanne spent years painting Mount St. Victore, observing nature, living in solitude, and searching for inner freedom. This practice of recording the world around him created some of the most unique works of art, setting the stage for the 20th century, starting with Picasso, which all began by honoring his truth. As I sit at my desk daily in Los Angeles, I contemplate why art is so important and what it does on an immediate level and for society. I take a break and walk over to another painting studio of Shane’s and gasp while looking at the vast Conscious Occupation of a Praying Mind a painting from the series, At Still Point of the Turning World. As I leave that studio and walk over to collect the mail, I am reminded of the street sounds and the thousands of cars and people trailing up and down Western Ave. daily. Returning to my desk, I glance over to the storage racks in the office, patiently holding Shane’s paintings. The office has become an art storage space as much as an office space. To my left are floor-to-ceiling bookshelves stacked with binders, catalogs, magazine boxes, and numerous books - all relative to Shane and his career on a global level. This man’s markings, documentation, and commitment to his art-making practice serve as a reminder of why art should never be forgotten or misunderstood. It’s been a hectic year thus far while finalizing plans for the 2024 Venice Biennale (Shane’s exhibition will be on display at the Bovolo Museum). There was also a new record set at a Parisian auction for At the Still Point of the Turning World – Only Through Time is Time Conquered oil on canvas, plus various exhibitions, musical concerts that intertwine music and art, and many lectures about the topic of art and how Guffogg is informed and inspired by different composers, that took place in and around Los Angeles. Two of Shane’s paintings are in the group exhibition Circle of Sam at the Bakersfield Museum of Art, where his paintings are featured alongside Ed Ruscha, Sam Francis, and more. This exhibition honors Sam's friendships with fellow artists; it closes on September 9th. Opening on October 19th, 2023, at the Forest Lawn Museum, Glendale, is Shaping Gravity: Abstract Art Beyond the Picture Plane, featuring seven artists. Shane will have six significant works that span 21 years. The Bovolo Museum, Venice, Italy where twenty new paintings will be on display from April - November 2024 Venice Biennale Guffogg’s At the Still Point of the Turning World - Only Through Time is Time Conquered oil on canvas, 84 x 108” a record was set at Paris auction ($480,000 USD) on May 4, 2023 Guffogg’s At the Still Point of a Turning World - The Conscious Occupation of a Praying Mind oil on canvas, 78 x 108” will be featured in October 2023 exhibition Shaping Gravity: Abstract Art Beyond the Picture Plane Los Angeles An intimate corner in the Central California Studio, in process paintings Neither Flesh nor Fleshness a stanza from T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets to be featured in Venice during 2024 While supporting Shane’s endeavors, I observe him traveling back and forth from Los Angeles and Central California studios with the occasional business trip to Europe. I often wonder, “Where does Shane get his inspiration, and how does he start his day?” Shane, the tornado, as he sometimes refers to himself, is busily noticing all the tiny and minute, numerous layers around him, seeing and feeling his way around the landscape. Within 12 hours on any given day, Shane not only works on his latest paintings (he usually works on 5 to 7 at a time), but also farming and tending to his Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard, olive trees (yes, he is pressing his olive oil), and 100 plus assorted fruit trees. Shane is moving through time and space. If you could trace his patterns throughout the painting studio and working the earth, one might see a similar physicality and energy that permeates from his surroundings. Cabernet Sauvignon grapevine at the ranch/studio in Central California. Shane personally planted 350 vines. During Part 5 of this series, Shane has been too busy for our usual Q and A and he suggested sharing two videos made by Eric Minh Swenson, Part 1 and Part 2 filmed at the ranch, two years apart. These videos go into detail about Shane’s life and what he was and is planning. And to refer again to Hegel -- while becoming conscious and aware of the world, Shane acknowledges his thoughts, visualizing beauty and the positive wonders of the world. All these elements are the ingredients for his daily practice of art making and life.
