South Korea, 1973 Artist Biography Works Next Kimi Kim Wittling South Korea, 1973 BIOGRAPHY Kimi Kim has been working in various genres including textile, woodcraft, print, lacquer, graphic design and ceramics since 1994. After graduating in Ceramics Design from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London, she has been focusing more on ceramics. Her works feature delicate forms inspired by nature, such as trees, leaves, and petals made from fragile materials, such as ceramic and “paper clay”. These forms represent the nature of love and care in Kim’s personal life and how these relationships and beacons of joy are impossibly fragile, yet indescribably precious. People always live longing for what they can or can’t have dreaming of achieving something. In my first series, I wanted to talk about women’s desires and thirst through Chanel bags, but they expressed their desire to be jealous and disdain because they couldn’t have it in the closet, and they couldn’t have it in the form of a torn bag. The second desire series LEGO is looking back at my childhood when I see the LEGO blocks my kids play with, and we always have a desire to achieve something, but we are a little bit concentric and built up some form of LEGO blocks as I want. Why don’t we all become artists.

SEP 30 - OCT 22, 2025 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next C1 New York REALITY + IMAGE SEP 30 - OCT 22, 2025 Kim Kang Yong INTRO This exhibition highlights the masterworks of Kim Kang-Yong from the early to mid-2010s, a period widely regarded as the pinnacle of his artistic maturity. During these years, the artist lived in New York, immersing himself in a new environment that reshaped his practice. The unfamiliar light, sounds, and rhythms of the city, as well as the dynamic context of the international art world, became catalysts that pushed his work to new depths of intensity and reflection. Sand and brick, his signature materials, gained new resonance through his New York experience. From a distance, the canvases appear photographic, yet up close, the densely layered grains of sand reveal themselves as tangible surfaces. This interplay between image and matter intensifies the tension between reality and illusion, compelling the viewer to ask: “What does it mean to see?” During this period, Kim also engaged in dialogue with critics, collaborated with New York galleries, and participated in international exhibitions. These encounters gave his work a universal dimension while simultaneously deepening its philosophical roots in Korean materiality and tradition. This exhibition is not merely a retrospective of a past era. It is a re-encounter with the moments when Kim Kang-Yong reached the height of his artistic achievement through dialogue with the city of New York. At the same time, it stands as a testimony to how Korean contemporary art has established a distinctive voice within the global stage. For collectors, the exhibition offers rare significance. The works from Kim’s New York years are among the most complete and exceptional in his career, carrying both art historical weight and collectible value. More than aesthetic objects, these works become living presences—continuing conversations that unfold new meanings with time and resonate daily in the collector’s space. 「 REALITY + IMAGE: Revisiting the Works of the 2010s. 」 This exhibition is a meditation on how art reveals reality, and how the act of seeing itself becomes an endless dialogue.

OCT 23 - DEC 9, 2025 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next C1 New York Memories of Our Future OCT 23 - DEC 9, 2025 Shane Guffogg INTRO Internationally acclaimed American artist Shane Guffogg presents his solo exhibition, Memories of Our Future . In this new series with his recent 2025 works, Guffogg draws inspiration from the breathtaking images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, translating cosmic scenes of stars being born and fading into luminous meditations on time, perception, and existence. Reflecting on these celestial images, Guffogg recalls realizing that “time is not linear; what we perceive as the past is, in fact, the present.” His paintings embody this revelation, awakening the idea that “we are memory and future, coexisting in this radiant moment.” Through this lens, his canvases become portals through which viewers encounter the traces of yesterday, the shadows of today, and the brilliance of tomorrow—all simultaneously unfolding in a single visual field. Art critic Victoria Chapman describes his work as “not mere abstraction but portals of time. If Cubism fractured perspective, Guffogg fractures time. Standing before his paintings, we find ourselves invited into the intersecting dimensions of the present.” Born in California in 1962, Guffogg has spent over four decades exploring themes of light, time, and perception through painting. Using traditional oil techniques, he applies dozens of translucent glazes, creating surfaces that seem to accumulate light itself—where color and luminosity merge into the quiet rhythm of duration. In Memories of Our Future , Guffogg’s practice reaches a poetic culmination, merging the vastness of the cosmos with the intimacy of human consciousness. His paintings remind us that the act of seeing is also an act of remembering—that every glimmer of light carries both the memory of what has been and the promise of what is yet to come.

Jun 20, 2024 Yuri Gorbachev Solo Exhibition ‘Museum Collection’(6/20-7/27) Gallery Chang is pleased to announce a solo exhibition featuring the work of the internationally renowned Russian-American artist, Yuri Gorbachev. Drawing inspiration from his childhood memory in Russia, the radiant jewel tones of Byzantine art, and the intricate craftsmanship of Peter Carl Faberge, a famous Russian goldsmith, Gorbachev creates vivid, richly textured paintings through the use of oil, gold, silver, and bronze. Gorbachev’s work, characterized by the application of specially formulated lacquer and glazing techniques, reflects his classical training and expertise in ceramics acquired in Russia. Gorbachev, born in the Soviet Union in 1948, established a successful career as a ceramicist specializing in sculpture in his home country. His native region of Novgorod(Но́вгород) produced one of the foremost schools of icon paintings, established by Andrei Rublyov, who was a disciple of the renowned Byzantine artist Feofan the greek. Gorbachev regards Rublyyov as a major influence on his art, alongside Picasso, Rousseau, Kandinsky, and Malevich. In 1991, upon arriving in the US, Gorbachev transitioned from ceramics to working with oil on canvas, making the beginning of the most prolific period of his career. Since then, Gorbachev has exhibited his work in nearly three hundred exhibitions worldwide. His works also have been widely collected by renowned international galleries and museums, including the Russian National Museum, the Louvre, the National Armenian Gallery, and the Clinton White House, among others. Gorbachev’s global appearances have enabled him to extensively travel, particularly in Asia. The inspiration he gained from his trips to Asia has profoundly shaped his art-making, leading him to leave the cultural influences froths journeys and childhood memories into his canvas. In 1995, Gorbachev went to Bali, and the profound impact of this previously unfamiliar culture led him to incorporate Indonesian motifs as a central element in his still-life series. For instance, flower hold significant importance in Balinese culture, being used in ceremonies for all life events, including brith, death, and everything in between. Gorbachev’s longing for his homeland also plays an important role in his art. In his landscapes series, Gorbachev channels this nostalgia into a vibrant kaleidoscope of Russian scenes. His works depict vivid visual imagery, including a racing troika and buildings reminiscent of Moscow’s iconic St. Basils’s Cathedral, against the backdrop of snowy, idyllic countryside. Sometimes Gorbachev blends a diverse array of visual tropes from still life and landscape series into one canvas, featuring wild animals, lush flora, and enigmatic figures carrying a symbol of the sun, moon, and star. His unique way of juxtaposing various cultural influences yields paintings that reinterpret both Asian and Russian myths, fairy tales, and landscapes, thereby opening up a realm of curiosity and imagination. Notably, Gorbachev’s art stands out for its ability to interweave diverse cultures and imagery, brought to life through vibrant colors, dynamic figures, and imagination.

JUL 25 – AUG 5, 2025 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next C1 New York & C3 Middletown CHASE Project: Phase Shift JUL 25 – AUG 5, 2025 Shin Kiwoun / Kim Hongbin / Anon / Anikoon / Im Jibin / Koo Nahyun INTRO CHASE Project: Phase Shift Once a proud symbol of financial power, first as the Bank of New York in the 1960s and then as Chase Bank in the 1990s, this building no longer serves its original purpose. In an age shaped by a global pandemic and rapid digitalization, grand bank buildings like this have become obsolete. The meaning and function of this space have reached a turning point. Now, with only its steel skeleton and memories remaining, the building stands on the brink of transformation. Reborn as “The Bank,” it will become a hybrid cultural space where food, art, and residence converge. The exhibition CHASE Project: Phase Shift marks the beginning of that transformation. It is both a statement and a scene of change. “Phase Shift” refers not to simple change, but to a fundamental transformation in function and meaning. The six participating artists respond not only to the building’s physical structure, but also to the emotional, cultural, and existential resonances carried within this shift. Shin Kiwoun approaches the essence of existence through physical abrasion and disintegration. Using sanders and grinders, he wears down various everyday objects such as coins, figurines, cassette tapes, books, and cell phones. His process erases form while embedding time and memory into the material. This gesture was inspired by a semiotic question he encountered in graduate school: is a chair better represented through an image, a word, or its real presence? Ultimately, he began to wonder about the chair in its molecular or atomic form. What began as a material experiment evolved into a meditative practice. Objects with vivid colors and clear structures are ground down into a gray powder, revealing the boundary between presence and absence, between memory and forgetting. His work questions how a stripped object might recover meaning, and suggests that transformation can be a quiet return to essence. Kim Hong Bin visualizes the inner reality of change through layered clashes of color and texture. Paint accumulates on canvas, only to be scratched, torn, and burst. Within the boldness of primary color and apparent chaos lie fragments of feeling, memories of rupture. His compositions remind us that transformation often breaks equilibrium and calls for new structures to emerge. Anon constructs sculptural surfaces that express sensory layering, using color and texture as core visual language. Through repetition—layering, tearing, rolling, attaching—she creates bas-relief works using textiles, paper, and fiber. These forms stimulate both touch and sight, forming spaces that resonate emotionally. Her compositions, both rhythmic and organic, breathe quiet vitality into the architectural shell. In this exhibition, she lends warmth and emotional texture to a transitional space, gently illuminating the inner tremors of change. Anikoon proposes a playful and sensory response to change through whimsical form and color. His robot-like sculptures, adorned with buttons, gears, and vibrant hues, are not functional machines but agents of imagination. Beyond their visual charm, they speak to the joy and surprise we hope to find in unfamiliar moments of transition. Im Jibin reactivates abandoned spaces by combining architectural scale with poetic imagination. His large, balloon-like figures press out through windows or emerge from vacant interiors. These playful interventions bring humor and energy back into deserted structures. His work visualizes a longing for spaces where people might gather again and reconnect. Koo Nahyun captures the persistence of human intimacy within environments in flux. Drawn directly onto walls, her figures and animals share quiet moments of warmth, even in the midst of collapse. The faded tones echo the building’s incompleteness, while her compositions remind us that familiar emotions can survive inside unfamiliar spaces. Change does not always mean something new. Sometimes, it is what stays that matters most. This is no longer a vault, but a vessel for possibility. marks the beginning of that transformation. INSTALLATION VIEWS ARTWORK

Mark Acetelli의 회화는 그 찰나의 기억을 잡아두려는 시도이자, 잔광 사이에서 빛나는 마크의 기억들을 하나하나 꺼내어 화면 위에 쌓아올리는 과정이다. “작업은 늘 변화하고 흐른다. 물처럼 흘러가고, 그 흐름 안에서 진심을 계속 꺼내야 한다.” 그는 말한다. 오랫동안 방치된 플라스틱 컵 속 물감을 다시 꺼내보기도 하고, 색은 네 가지, 다섯 가지를 섞어 그날의 감정을 간신히 만든다고. 요리처럼, 본능처럼. 그렇게 탄생한 화면은 정리되지 않는다. 오히려 결과에 대한 집착을 놓아버리고, 과정을 받아들이는 법을 보여준다. 이번 전시 《빛의 잔상》은 This Too Shall Pass, Be Like Water, Hope, Currant and Flow 등 작가의 대표작들을 통해 사라진 감정의 끝자락이 마지막으로 반짝이는 순간을 기록한다. 빛이 다 스러진 후에도 남는 온기. 그 사이에서 마크의 감정은 여전히, 우리 안으로 조용히 스며든다.
