Back Korean Association of New York Artists (KANA) Part 1 ‘Binary Equilibrium’ The Korean Association of New York Artists (KANA) is hosting two group exhibitions at Gallery Chang in Manhattan from July 30 to August 18. Curated by Calvin Lee and Lina Hae Lin Hwang, the exhibition is divided into two parts: Part 1, "Binary Equilibrium" (July 30 - August 7), and Part 2, "Unbound Playground" (August 9 - August 18). In Part 1, "Binary Equilibrium," artists Tae Joong Kim, Sae Jun Kim, Jean Oh, Dawn Kim, Calvin Lee, Yuna Cho, Paul Rho, and Kai Oh, all active in New York, will participate. The exhibition title "Binary Equilibrium" is inspired by philosophical texts such as Nietzsche’s "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and Sartre’s "Being and Nothingness," reflecting the artists' perspectives on the intersection of existentialism and nihilism. Referencing the Eastern concept of Yin and Yang, the exhibition explores the boundary of these two waves, seeking balance between contrasting themes. The Eight Trigrams represent specific forms of nature and life. Each trigram contains elements of the Eastern natural world, and together they symbolize a state of completeness in Buddhism. The works of the eight artists, which incorporate the harmony of existence and nothingness, resonate with the Eastern worldview of past generations encapsulated in the Korean flag. Exploring how objects are perceived by subjects, German aesthetician Nikolai Hartmann categorized beauty into four concepts, and this exhibition references Hartmann’s framework in examining how humans perceive nature. The exhibition is divided into four sections: Sublime Beauty (Sae Jun Kim, Tae Joong Kim), Humorous Beauty (Jean Oh, Kai Oh), Tragic Beauty (Calvin Lee, Dawn Kim), and Elegant Beauty (Paul Rho, Yuna Cho). Each pair of artists explores the philosophical thoughts of existentialism and nihilism, sharing diverse perspectives on the meaning of life and existence through their works. "Binary Equilibrium" focuses on the existential flow rooted in human relationships with nature, contrasting with the nihilistic principles of nature. Sae Jun Kim and Tae Joong Kim depict nature, observing existence from a perspective that is opposite to that of the audience. Jean Oh and Kai Oh investigate the ambiguity and clarity of existence, expanding the ecosystem’s perspective and capturing the dissonance between humans and nature. Calvin Lee and Dawn Kim visualize the relationship between nature and humanity, transforming a vertical structure into a horizontal one to create a sense of order on the same plane. Paul Rho and Yuna Cho share a common theme of nature’s permanence, rearranging memories of nature to elevate and expand the boundaries of Korean elegance. The opening reception will take place on July 30 from 6 PM to 8 PM, followed by an artist talk on Saturday, August 3, at 2 PM featuring artists Paul Rho, Calvin Lee, Jean Oh, and Kai Oh. 뉴욕한인예술인협회(KANA, Korean Association of New York Artists, https://www.nykana.org)가 7월 30일부터 8월 18일까지 맨해튼 갤러리 장(Gallery Chang)에서 2회의 그룹전을 연다. 이상혁(Calvin Lee)과 황혜린(Lina Hae Lin Hwang)이 기획한 이 전시는 1부 ‘Binary Equilibrium’(7/30-8/7)과 2부 ‘Unbound Playground’(8/9-8/18)로 나뉘어 진행된다. 제 1부‘Binary Equilibrium’에서는 뉴요게서 활동하는 김태중(Tae Joong Kim), 김세준(Sae Jun Kim), 오진이(Jean Oh), 김다운(Dawn Kim), 이상혁(Calvin Lee), 조윤아(Yuna Cho), 노바울(Paul Rho), 그리고 오가영(Kai Oh)작가가 참여한다. 전시 타이틀 ‘Binary Equilibrium’은 니체의 ‘차라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다’와 사르트르의 ‘존재와 무’와 같은 철학적 텍스트에서 영감을 받았으며 실존주의와 허무주의의 이중성의 맞닿아있는 부분에 대한 작가들의 견해를 담아낸다. 동양의 음양 개념을 참조하여, 전시는 음과 양의 물결의 결계선에 대한 탐구를 진행하며 두 개념의 대립을 넘어서 상반된 주제 사이에서의 균형을 찾아간다. 8괘는 자연과 인생의 구체적 형태를 나타낸다. 8괘의 각 괘는 동양의 자연계 구성물들을 담고있는데 각 괘가 모인 8괘는 불교에서 완전의 상태를 상징한다. 존재와 무의 음양의 조화를 포함하여 자연과 삶을 소재로 한 8명의 작가들의 작업들은 태극기가 담아내고 있는 선대의 한국인들의 동양적 세계관과 관점에 공명한다. 객체를 주체가 어떻게 바라보는지에 대한 탐구에서 독일 미학자 니콜라이 하르트만은 미적범주라는 개념을 정리하여 아름다움을 네개의 개념으로 분류하는데 전시는 인간이 자연을 어떻게 바라보는가를 두고 하르트만의 체계를 참고했다. 이정시는 숭고미(김세준, 김태중), 골계미(오진이, 오가영), 비장미(이상혁, 김다운), 우아미(보바울, 조윤아)의 4개의 섹션으로 나뉘어져 있다. 두작가가 짝을 이루어 실존주의와 허무주의의 두 철학적인 사유를 탐구하며, 인생과 존재의 의미에 대한 각기 다른 관점을 작품을 통해 공유한다. ‘Binary Equilibrium’은 인간과 자연을 근간으로 사람과의 관계에서 시작된 실존주의의 흐름과 이에 반한 자연의 허무주의의 원리에 집중한다. 김세준과 김태중은 자연을 형상화하며 자연의 관점에서 세상을 역으로 바라보며 관객의 관점과 반대되는 지점에서 존재를 관찰한다. 오진이와 오가영은 존재의 모호함과 명확함의 경계의 대한 탐구로 진행되며 생태계의 단면을 확장하고 인간과 자연을 동격으로 두어 서로간의 이질감을 포착해낸다. 이상혁과 김다운은 자연과 사람간의 관계릐 수직적인 구조를 수평적인 구조로 동일 선상에 뒁 생성되는 질서를 시각화한다. 노바울과 조윤아는 자연의 영속성을 공통된 주제로 담고 잇으며 자연의 대한 기억을 재배열하여 승화시켜 한국의 우아미의 경계를 확장해나간다. 오프닝 리셉션은 7월 30일 저녁 6시부터 8시까지 진행되며, 8월 3일 토요일 오후 2시 노바울(Paul Rho), 이상혁(Calvin Lee), 오진이(Jean Oh), 그리고 오가영(Kai Oh) 작가가 참여하는 아티스트 토크가 열릴 예정이다.

Back The First Retrospective Exhibition in North America Honoring the Monochrome Master Cho Yong Ik No 102, 1966, oil on canvas, 45.6” X 58.6”. Cho Yong Ik. Cho Yong Ik (Korea, 1934-2023) Gallery Chang in Manhattan, New York, will host the retrospective exhibition 'The Hidden Masterpiece: Cho Yong Ik 1934-2023', marking the first in North America since Cho Yong Ik's passing last year. Cho Yong Ik is esteemed as a pivotal figure in the formation of contemporary Korean art, leading Korean abstract painting alongside major figures like Park Seo-bo, Chung Sang-Hwa, and Yun Hyong-keun. Born in 1934 in North Pyongan Province, he graduated from Seoul National University's Department of Painting and served as a professor at Chugye University for the Arts. Cho's participation in joint exhibitions such as those of the 'Korea Modern Art Association' and the '60s Art Association' in 1961 was pivotal for the development of Korean abstract art. Lee Min Ji, Senior Curator at Gallery Chang, explained, "From the late 1950s to the 1980s, Cho Yong Ik showed the most vigorous activity as an artist. His participation in prestigious international exhibitions such as the 2nd Paris Biennale in 1961 and the Bienal Sao Paulo in 1967 helped introduce his name globally." Though active alongside the first generation of monochrome painters from the 1960s, personal circumstances and illness in the early 2000s led Cho to step back from the art scene. However, his works have been reintroduced to acclaim, including solo exhibitions at the Sungkok Art Museum in 2016 and Olivier Malingue Gallery in London, and are currently featured in the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art's ongoing exhibition on 'Geometric Abstract Art in Korea'. He is being reassessed both domestically and internationally as a leading figure of the first generation of monochrome painters in Korea. The Senior Curator noted, "This exhibition will showcase over 20 works, offering a valuable opportunity to explore his artistic world spanning 70 years and the developmental history of Korean abstract painting." Furthermore, this exhibition anticipates significant attention from the global art community by presenting Cho Yong Ik's early Formel paintings such as <59-119> (1959) and (1966), as well as representative works of Korean geometric abstraction like <72-112> (1973) and <72-113> (1973), never before shown anywhere in Korea or abroad.

Back Gallery Chang Hosts Five-Artist Group Exhibition Gallery Chang, which continues active exhibition programming between Korea and New York, will open the group exhibition Beautiful Rupture on the 20th at its Manhattan location in New York City. This exhibition highlights five artists who explore “the boundary between beauty and rupture” through diverse media such as painting and sculpture. Participating artists are Korean artists Moon Insoo and Kimi Kim, along with American artists Brett Price, Kelly Berg, and Mark Acetellida. Gallery Chang commented, “Moon Insoo visualizes narratives of memory, erosion, and silence through compositions of layered surfaces that recall the texture of concrete. Kimi Kim deconstructs and reconstructs the forms of luxury brand handbags using ceramic materials, presenting works that question consumption, desire, and the illusion of beauty. Both artists reveal the experimental spirit and aesthetic identity of contemporary Korean art, adding depth to this exhibition.” The gallery also introduced the American artists: “Brett Price reinterprets the materiality of sculpture by flexibly bending and wrapping large steel structures. Kelly Berg presents paintings that powerfully express the geological energy of nature. Mark Acetellida continues his abstract painting practice, capturing the emotional currents and the depth of time flowing beneath the calm surface of the sea.” Curator Jinnie Kang, who organized the exhibition, stated, “This exhibition presents the aesthetic depth and experimental spirit of the artists supported by Gallery Chang, and is a project in which the harmonious artistic exchange between Korean and American artists stands out.” www.koreadaily.com 갤러리 장, 5인 작가 그룹전 개최 | 미주중앙일보 20일부터 7월 22일까지 뉴욕 맨해튼 지점 문인수·키미 킴·브렛 프라이스 등 참여 < >

Back 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.

Back Gallery Chang 'K-Art Chronicles' Group Exhibition K-Art Chronicles. 2024 Gallery Chang in Manhattan, New York, will host the 'K-ART Chronicles' exhibition from March 29th to April 10th. This exhibition presents a unique opportunity to explore the artistic worlds of four masters in contemporary Korean art: Cho Yong-Ik, Kim Sea Joong, Moon Insoo, and Oh Kwan Jin. According to Gallery Chang, Cho Yong Ik is recognized as a pioneer of monochrome painting in Korea, alongside Park Seo-bo, Yun Hyong Keun, Yun Myeung Ro, and Ha Chong Hyun. Through geometric elements and abstract forms, Cho Yong Ik conveys a distinctive aesthetic experience, contributing significantly to the development of Korean art history. Kim Sea Joong, acclaimed in the global art scene as a 'painter of light,' explores light, space, and time in his artworks. His works delve into spatial and temporal exploration, interpreting surfaces three-dimensionally and addressing the power of light and emotions. By combining painting and sculpture, Kim Sea Joong presents new perspectives, integrating the philosophical meanings of time and spatial senses to pursue 'invisible differentiation.' Gallery Chang's 'K-ART Chronicles' promises an enlightening encounter with the artistic achievements of these renowned Korean contemporary artists. Moon Insoo is a pioneer as a sculptor in "iron and concrete," broadening the spectrum of contemporary art. He was the first artist to win the Grand Prize in the sculpture category at the National Art Exhibition in 1986. His iconic sculpture "Red Bull" features a minimalist silhouette in a modernist style, and at this exhibition, he will showcase works including the "Red Bull" sculpture, paintings, special editions, and the "Multicolored Bull" sculpture. Oh Kwan Jin led the popularization of K-Art (Korean Art) as a painter, embodying the harmony of East and West in his works, notably represented by his Moon Jar series "Emptying and Filling." His artworks have been featured in three major Korean dramas and movies, contributing significantly to promoting Korean art globally.

Back 'Brick Artist' Kim Kang Yong, Invitation to Opening 'Gallery Chang' Kim Kang Yong, Reality+Image 2301-2213, 132 x 99 cm, mixedmedia, 2023. 'Gallery Chang', established to promote Korean artists on Manhattan's 55th Street, will officially open its doors with a commemorative exhibition featuring the highly acclaimed brick painter Kim Kang Yong, on the 7th of next month. Gallery director Jun-Hwan Chang, the founder of 'Gallery Chang', stated, "Through the opening of 'Gallery Chang', we will continue to serve as a cultural hub to introduce works of artists representing Korea to the world from New York, contributing to the global growth of the cultural industry and enhancing the national image." Invited to this inaugural exhibition, Kim Kang Yong, known as the master of brick painting, has captivated audiences worldwide as a first-generation hyper-realism artist since the 1970s, gaining international recognition for his brick paintings. Chloe Park, a senior curator of 'Gallery Chang', explained, "In Kim Kang Yong's solo exhibition 'MASTERPIECE (2019-2023)', the focus is on his recent works, including the sand-made brick series symbolizing him, and 'Reality + Image' works. New pieces from 2023 are also being unveiled." She further elaborated, "From the mid-1970s to the 1980s, he mainly painted monochromatic brick walls, but since the 2000s, he has transformed into colorful brick painting, surpassing reality with simplicity and color, once again showcasing his uniqueness. Recently, he has been hailed as the next-generation leader following the monochromatic master, Park Seo-bo." Park continued, "His artistic realm, spanning from the first-generation hyperrealism to encompassing abstraction and monochrome, marks a significant milestone in Korean art history." She added, "His works have garnered significant acclaim among art collectors worldwide and are housed in institutions such as the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul Museum of Art, and the Lévy Gorvy Art Foundation in LA. They are also actively traded in global art markets such as Sotheby's and Christie's." [Source from THE KOREA DAILY press release, provided by Jongwon Park] < >

Back Shane Guffogg: Memories of Our Future The solo exhibition Memories of Our Future by American contemporary artist Shane Guffogg is currently on view at Gallery Chang in Manhattan, opening on October 23. Featuring new works from 2025, this exhibition marks Guffogg’s second solo show at Gallery Chang New York, following his 2024 exhibition Shane Guffogg: The Future is Past is Present . Centered on the philosophical theme Guffogg has long explored—the “intersection of time and space”—the exhibition visualizes moments where the boundaries between present, past, and future become blurred. Through transparent layers of color and flows of light, his paintings capture traces of time and movements of consciousness, inviting viewers to reflect on how multilayered the fleeting moment of “here and now” truly is. In this exhibition, Guffogg presents a new interpretation of human perception in the age of AI. At the opening reception, he remarked, “We are already living in the fourth world—the world in our hands, the reality inside our phones,” raising the question of what “memory” and “the present” mean in an era when machines preserve memory. The complex intersections of lines and trajectories of light in his work are not merely abstract forms, but visualizations of vibrating consciousness, data flows, and the points where human thought intersects with AI. Guffogg explains, “My work is about painting the space where human and machine, present and future, memory and prediction overlap.” For many years, Guffogg has explored AI as an artistic tool through his algorithmic project Sounds of Color , which translates color into sound. He sees AI not simply as technology, but as a new “language” that expands human perception, seeking through art to restore humanity in the technological age. This exhibition not only shows the evolution of his painterly language, but also invites viewers into a new visual narrative born at the crossroads of memory and prediction, human and machine, light and time. Curator Jinnie Kang of commented, “This exhibition represents the essence of Guffogg’s philosophical painting and offers a poetic response to the nature of humanity in the technological age. We focused on the artist’s attitude of expanding human experience through the new tool of AI.” Shane Guffogg was born in Los Angeles in 1962 and studied art at the California Institute of the Arts. He later worked as an assistant to pop artists Ed Ruscha and Joe Goode. He has drawn inspiration from J.M.W. Turner’s seascapes, Mark Rothko’s late works on paper, Rembrandt’s paintings, and Jasper Johns’s early “alphabet” paintings. In the 1990s, he developed a pattern-painting technique using layered translucent oil paint to create inner light within the canvas, expressing consciousness and the subconscious. From 2009 onward, inspired by T.S. Eliot’s poem Burnt Norton , he began the ongoing At the Still Point series, depicting movements of light through ribbon-like brushstrokes. Later, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s Ginevra de’ Benci (National Gallery, Washington DC), he created the Ginevra de Benci series, using oil paint mixed with resin and ribbon-like light motifs that subtly suggest the feminine form of the original portrait. His works are held in collections including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Duke University Nasher Museum of Art (Durham), Fundación/Colección Jumex in Mexico City, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. The exhibition runs through December 9. https://www.nyculturebeat.com/index.php?mid=Lounge2&document_srl=4166882 < >

Back KANA and Gallery Chang Host Korean Artists' Group Exhibitions KANA and Gallery Chang Host Korean Artists' Group Exhibitions The Korean Association of New York Artists (KANA) is collaborating with Gallery Chang in Manhattan to present two group exhibitions from July 30 to August 18. KANA and Gallery Chang stated that the exhibitions aim to highlight talented Korean artists and explore new directions for Korean art, expanding its potential. This initiative is based on the curatorial vision of Calvin Lee and Lina Hae Lin Hwang. The exhibitions are divided into two parts, each with a different theme: "Binary Equilibrium" and "Unbound Playground." Part 1 features artists Tae Joong Kim, Sae Jun Kim, Jean Oh, Dawn Kim, Calvin Lee, Yuna Cho, Paul Rho, and Kai Oh, all of whom share a cultural background rooted in Korea while working in New York. This section reflects the artists' perspectives on the intersection of existentialism and nihilism. From August 9 to August 18, Part 2 will showcase works by artists Anikoon, Sun You, Yong Sun Kwon, Taekyung Suh, Hongbin Kim, and Soo Park. This section presents a variety of visual languages and playful expressions, rooted in the artists' everyday experiences, childhood memories, and emotions.
