Back April 9, 2026 A Bold Attention Opening Night A Bold Attention Opening Night Suh YongSun On the corner of 7th Avenue and West 55th – in other words, around the block from veteran arts institutions that include MOMA, Gershwin Theatre, and Carnegie Hall – stands the vibrant contemporary arts space Gallery Chang . The New York City venue was founded just three years ago, and since then, it has begun to truly make its mark in the heart of Manhattan's cultural district. A unique position of the space is its framing of East-West dialogue as the curatorial theme – which was truly capitalized on for the Opening Reception of artist Suh YongSun’s A Bold Attention . The event took place at the cusp of Spring, with the season welcoming both bright flowers and Yongsun’s colorful paintings. For those unfamiliar with the artist’s practice, take note: Yongsun is one of those rare artists who has pursued continuity of praxis over trendsetting. The result is a cohesive visual language, one constructed over decades and across continents, with Yongsun having exhibited around the world at notable venues including London’s Gallery 12 and the Wooguanjoon Museum annexed Gallery in Singapore. Of course, his predominant social milieu is within South Korea, where his work is well known and celebrated. In 2009, he was awarded “Artist of the Year,” and in 2024, he received the National Academy of Arts of the Republic of Korea Award. However, as is the case with the vast majority of international artists, the reality of cultivating an audience who are largely new to one’s work is one which Yongsun was well prepared for. Although multiple longtime fans of his work were present at the April 9th reception, many of the guests were viewing his pieces for the first time. This made the Artist Talk especially useful–as it gave the audience an opportunity to engage with his work in a direct manner. During preparations for his talk, Yongsun emphasized the importance of embracing his discomfort with the English language (though he speaks very well) as it would especially enrich viewers’ understanding of his perspective in painting the City Series, which features works that depict Rockefeller Center and Metropolitan Avenue. New Yorkers in attendance at the event were especially struck by these works, expressing excitement with the familiarity. On the other hand, they had many questions about Yongsun’s historical paintings, with most Americans being unfamiliar with South Korean annals. Despite their lack of knowledge on the events depicted in these works – King Danjong’s legacy or the lasting impact of the Autumn Uprising – our Western audience was curious to hear more about the artist’s perspective on both these works and on the entirety of the exhibition itself. For the Artist Talk, 60 attendees gathered tightly within the gallery to hear him speak and to ask him questions about the work directly. The talk was hosted in both English and Korean, with Arts Coordinator Celestina Billington moderating, Gallery Manager Jinnie Kang translating, and the gallery’s owners, Ara & Junhwa Chang, hosting. Of the works on display, most are exclusively held by Gallery Chang and are very new (2026). They were made in Middletown at the HOUSE by The Bank Art Foundation, a private artist cultivation program promoting the development of new works by contemporary masters. Previous Next

Oct 24 - Dec 10, 2024 Intro Catalog Installation Views Next [C1] New York THE FUTURE IS PAST IS PRESENT Oct 24 - Dec 10, 2024 Shane Guffogg INTRO Shane Guffogg: The Future as Past is Present A Solo Exhibition Featuring Twenty-Four Oil and Canvas Paintings Opening October 24, 2024, at Gallery Chang, New York City, NY It’s always fascinating how Shane Guffogg approaches his work. His titles, like The Future, as Past is Present , draw you into his world. They aren’t just clever phrases; they represent Shane’s reflections on time, space, and the essence of existence. His fascination with time is unmistakable, a theme that has guided his artistic practice for over three decades. Much of his thinking has been shaped by T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets , an exploration of time and transformation that Eliot began writing on the cusp of World War II. Shane’s work has always carried a certain weight—a documentation of his life and his presence on this earth. His upcoming solo exhibition at Gallery Chang will showcase this perfectly. The Counting of Days series in this exhibition beautifully embodies this concept. While the pieces visually resemble flowers, they profoundly reflect Guffogg’s lived experiences. Each brushstroke marks the passage of time, much like the counting of prayer beads, capturing sensory moments from his birth to the day the painting was completed—an actual count documented at the bottom of each painting. These works are a personal narrative and a universal meditation on the passage of time. The softness and freedom conveyed in these paintings evoke the transient nature of existence—appearing and fading much like passing thoughts. Each piece is centered around a singular color palette, offering a meditative quality that invites viewers to contemplate the fleeting moments of their own lives. Guffogg's approach to painting is almost alchemical. Through each stroke, he transforms raw materials into something profound—an enduring expression of thought, memory, and emotion that transcends the limitations of time. In the series A Rose is a Rose is a Rose , inspired by Gertrude Stein’s poem Sacred Emily and Guffogg's connection to his garden, the work challenges traditional ideas of fixed identity and meaning. Rather than offering literal depictions of roses, Guffogg's paintings embody abstract experiences that explore the fluidity of identity. His characteristic use of sweeping ribbons, flashes of color, and veils of light creates an ethereal, dreamlike space where viewers are drawn into the divine and the miraculous. This series becomes a visual journey through unseen forces, reflecting the ever-changing and fluid nature of perception and self. Guffogg’s mastery of intertwining time and identity reaches its pinnacle in his At the Still Point of the Turning World series, a title drawn from T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets . These works transcend time and space, functioning as visual poetry that seeks to capture the infinite. There are energetic forces in these paintings. When asked how the artist creates this sense of movement and gravity, guiding the viewer into the painting, he said; “It’s hard to explain how I know. There isn’t a thought or thoughts, or my inner voice speaking to me. It is a feeling that goes beyond where words go and I know a painting is done when I can sense it the painting is breathing on its own and will continue to do so after it leaves the studio.” It's no wonder David Ash, a renowned quantum physicist, was captivated by Guffogg’s art at his May 2024 Paris exhibition. After experiencing the works, Ash observed, “You’re painting what I’m writing about. This is a form of quantum physics,” seamlessly connecting Guffogg’s artistic expressions with the intricate theories of space, time, and existence. The convergence of Eliot’s philosophical poetry, quantum theory, and Guffogg’s personal experiences creates a profound resonance in his art. One particularly striking example is his Late Roses in Early Snow , a painting that connects deeply with the intellectual and artistic energy of the delicate beauty of Monet and the dynamic gestures of Pollock, Guffogg’s work coexists with the rhythms of nature while also engaging with contemporary perspectives. Much like Eliot’s blending of Western and Eastern philosophies, Guffogg captures a unique synergy of influences from both traditions. The soft pastels in this painting, reminiscent of New York’s winter landscapes, evoke a harmonious dialogue between the city's constant reinvention and the timeless quality of Guffogg’s artistic vision. Through his work, Guffogg continues to push the boundaries of painting as a medium for exploring reality's deeper mysteries. His upcoming exhibition at Gallery Chang promises to be a powerful continuation of his exploration of the intricate connections between time, identity, and existence. For viewers, it’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and engage with the profound questions that define our very being. – Victoria Chapman CATALOG View Catalog here INSTALLATION VIEWS
