Ambitious Dreams: A Collaboration of Art and Literature Koo Na Hyun May 23 - Jun 31, 2019 Ambitious Dream: A Collaboration of Art and Literature "Ambitious Dream" is a groundbreaking collaboration between renowned artist Koo Na Hyun and bestselling author JunHwan Chang. This unique exhibition brings to life the intense narratives from Chang's recent book, "변호사들 - 그들의 치열한 법정에서 한국 민주주의가 시작되었다" (Lawyers - The Birth of Korean Democracy in Their Fierce Courtrooms). The book is divided into three parts, highlighting the stories of eleven human rights lawyers who played pivotal roles in shaping Korean democracy: during the Japanese colonial period, the post-liberation and Yushin dictatorship era, and the New Military Regime. Koo Na Hyun, celebrated for her distinctive series of portrait artworks, goes beyond expressive hyperrealism by embedding intricate stories within the faces she paints. In "Ambitious Dream," she transforms the powerful stories of these eleven courageous lawyers into her trademark style, offering a compelling visual homage. Her portraits not only capture the fierce determination and resilience of these figures but also weave their historical and personal narratives into the very fabric of the artwork. This approach aims to instill a deeper historical consciousness and appreciation among younger generations, bridging the past and present through reflective and evocative art. This collaborative exhibition, hosted in New York, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of freedom and democracy. "Ambitious Dream" is more than an artistic display; it is a celebration of courage, a tribute to the heroes of Korean democracy, and an invitation to viewers to engage with history through the powerful interplay of art and literature. By merging JunHwan Chang's evocative storytelling with Koo Na Hyun's narrative-infused portraits, the exhibition offers a profound and immersive experience, honoring the legacy of these extraordinary lawyers and their enduring impact on society.

Echoes of My Dear Friend: A Robot's Lament Anikoon Dec 1 - Dec 31, 2022 Echoes of My Dear Friend: A Robot's Lament Anikoon’s upcoming public art project, "Echoes of My Dear Friend: A Robot's Lament," is a poignant exploration of nostalgia and solitude through the lens of retro robotics. This exhibition, set in the former CHASE Bank building in Middletown, New York, takes a heartfelt look at the connections between past and present, and between the mechanical and the emotional. Known for his unique approach to integrating vintage toy robots into his art, Anikoon projects the modern human experience onto these nostalgic figures. With imagery inspired by classic wind-up tin robots and iconic Star Wars characters, his work blends retro aesthetics with a contemporary critique of isolation and estrangement. The playful and vibrant surface of his creations often hides deeper themes of loneliness and melancholy, as reflected in the expressive, whimsical faces of his robotic subjects. "Echoes of My Dear Friend: A Robot's Lament" employs a dynamic range of techniques, including graffiti-inspired spray paint and a playful use of comic book elements and halftone dots. These methods contribute to the pop-art vibrancy of his work while maintaining a modern, flattened aesthetic. Through the combination of restrained composition and vivid colors, Anikoon emphasizes the flatness of the canvas, drawing attention to the work’s painterly qualities while evoking a sense of visual and emotional depth. The exhibition's title, "Echoes of My Dear Friend," reflects the artist's nostalgic and somewhat melancholic journey as he searches for a lost connection. The narrative revolves around a robot—a symbol of Anikoon’s own childhood imagination—who laments the absence of a once-familiar ATM, now gone from its old place in the former bank. The robot’s quest to reconnect with this absent friend mirrors the universal human experience of longing for the past and grappling with the passage of time. Anikoon's art is not just a homage to the past but a commentary on the fleeting nature of relationships and memories. As he prepares for his upcoming participation in the Moment Art Project in New York this May, this December exhibition serves as a tender reminder of the importance of cherishing precious memories and meaningful connections, even as we navigate the fast-paced demands of modern life. Through "Echoes of My Dear Friend: A Robot's Lament," Anikoon offers viewers a reflective space to consider their own experiences of connection and loss, and to appreciate the warmth and significance of the relationships that shape our lives. This exhibition invites us to pause and remember, to celebrate the simple joys and enduring friendships that continue to echo through our lives, even as time and change transform the world around us.

Fables of Solitude: The Colorful Realm of Venessa Love Venessa Love Sep 23 - Oct 5, 2019 Fables of Solitude: The Colorful Realm of Venessa Love "Fables of Solitude: The Colorful Realm of Vanessa Love" invites viewers into a vibrant world where light and shadow coexist, offering a profound exploration of inner healing and emotional connection. Vanessa Love’s artwork creates a vivid tapestry of bright colors and simplified forms that transform solitude into a fantastical narrative. Inspired by fairy tales, her work vividly portrays characters and scenes that, while sometimes dark, are designed to heal and resonate deeply with the viewer. Art critic Hyun Jung Ahn describes Vanessa Love’s work as a canvas of emotional recovery, where the figures portrayed reflect the everyday people we encounter. Love’s intention is to convey a message of healing and return to love within a space enriched by understanding and compassion. In the midst of a world characterized by modern solitude, her art serves as a beacon of fantasy, converting feelings of isolation into stories of emotional warmth and connection. This exhibition showcases how Vanessa Love uses her art to bridge the gap between visual perception and emotional comprehension. By embodying the essence of 'emotional love' through fairy tale-like imagery, she creates accessible narratives that both enchant and challenge viewers. Her use of wit and satire adds layers of depth, offering a frank and relatable interpretation of contemporary society's contradictions. "Fables of Solitude" invites you to explore a fairy-tale reality where emotions are expressed with sincerity and charm, encouraging viewers to engage with their own inner landscapes through the artist’s imaginative lens.

South Korea, 1968 Artist Biography Works Next Kim Sea Joong South Korea, 1968 BIOGRAPHY Kim Sea Joong is a South Korean artist known for his innovative exploration of space, light, and color. Born in 1968, Kim studied fine arts at the prestigious Paris 8 University in France, where he completed both his bachelor's and master's degrees in plastic arts. His artistic practice blends sculptural methodologies with painterly techniques, creating works that challenge conventional perceptions of depth and light on a canvas. Central to Kim’s philosophy is his belief that “color is another interpretation of space.” His works often focus on the interplay between darkness and light, using monochromatic surfaces to evoke a profound sense of spatial depth. This approach represents his quest for “a new understanding of spatial perception through pure color.” One of his signature materials is International Klein Blue (IKB), a vibrant blue pigment that Kim sourced directly from France. For Kim, this blue transcends its secondary associations, offering a direct engagement with the visual essence of color itself. Kim’s practice has been celebrated for its ability to twist and manipulate space visually, creating an almost tactile presence of light within his canvases. His works are a meditation on how simplicity in color and form can evoke complex emotional and spatial experiences. Since his debut solo exhibition at Galerie Elephant Blanc in Paris in 1999, Kim has held numerous solo exhibitions in prominent galleries, including Galerie Cité des Arts and Galerie Tristan Bernard in Paris, as well as Gallery EM, Gong Art Space, Gallery BK, Gallery Purple, and 2tti Space in Seoul. He has also participated in a wide array of group exhibitions, establishing himself as a significant figure in both the Korean and international art scenes. Currently living and working in Korea, Kim Sea Joong continues to push the boundaries of monochromatic abstraction, using his work to invite viewers into an immersive exploration of light, space, and the visual purity of color. His dedication to refining the relationship between materiality and perception ensures that his art resonates with both intellectual rigor and emotional depth.

July 29, 2024 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.

United States, 1926-2018 Artist Biography Works Next Ed Moses United States, 1926-2018 BIOGRAPHY Ed Moses was a trailblazer in the Los Angeles art scene, earning global recognition for his dynamic, ever-evolving approach to painting. Throughout his prolific career spanning seven decades, Moses continually challenged artistic boundaries, describing himself as a “mutator” who thrived on curiosity and discovery. For him, painting was a dialogue between structure and freedom, where control met the desire to transcend limitations. Born on April 9, 1926, in Long Beach, California, Moses began his journey in a different field. After serving as a surgical technician in World War II, he initially pursued a career in medicine but found his passion for art through a serendipitous class at Long Beach City College. This pivotal moment led him to UCLA’s MFA program, where he connected with influential figures like Craig Kauffman and Walter Hopps, founder of the Ferus Gallery. In 1958, Moses debuted at Ferus Gallery, becoming a core member of the “Cool School,” a collective of groundbreaking artists including Robert Irwin, Ed Ruscha, and Ken Price. Together, they reshaped postwar art in Los Angeles, creating a foundation for the city’s thriving contemporary art scene. Moses' work was deeply rooted in experimentation and transformation. A committed Buddhist practitioner from 1978, he embraced impermanence and chance in his creative process, focusing on presence and intuition over rigid technique. He eschewed the label “artist,” instead calling himself a “mark maker” who sought to explore the endless possibilities of the painted surface. Over the years, Moses’ contributions to contemporary art were celebrated through numerous exhibitions and retrospectives. Highlights include his 1996 retrospective at MOCA Los Angeles and landmark shows at LACMA and UCLA’s Wight Gallery. His work transitioned from early drawings to bold, abstract paintings, with his later pieces showcasing his mastery of scale, color, and texture. Even in his 90s, Moses remained a vital force in the art world, working daily in his Venice studio and inspiring generations of artists. His legacy endures as a testament to his unwavering commitment to reinvention, exploration, and the power of art to transcend time and boundaries.
