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 Kim Kang Yong Solo Exhibition 《REALITY + IMAGE》 Opens The solo exhibition 《REALITY + IMAGE: Revisiting the Works of the 2010s》 by master of Korean contemporary art Kim Kang Yong will be held from September 30 to October 22 at Gallery Chang New York, located on 55th Street in Manhattan. This exhibition centers on major paintings created during the early to mid-2010s, when the artist was based in New York. Kim Kang Yong’s paintings explore the boundary between materiality and image through the use of distinctly Korean materials such as sand and fragments of brick. From a distance, the works resemble photographs, but as viewers approach, the density of texture and material presence becomes vividly apparent. His practice is built on a dual structure of “reality” and “illusion,” “material” and “image.” During his years in New York, Kim actively engaged with the international art scene, achieving an artistic synthesis that combined contemporary universality with his own distinctive formal language. This exhibition is especially meaningful in that it revisits the representative works from that period in New York once again in 2025. Kim Kang Yong was born in 1950 in Jeongeup, North Jeolla Province, and graduated from Hongik University College of Fine Arts. For decades, he has worked primarily in painting, presenting his work at major museums and galleries in Korea and abroad. Through his sand-based paintings in particular, he has established a unique visual language and is recognized as one of the leading figures in Korean contemporary art. Gallery Chang has for several years consistently examined Kim Kang Yong’s artistic world from a philosophical perspective. This solo exhibition continues that curatorial trajectory while also being expected to reaffirm the presence of Korean contemporary art within the New York art scene. Curator Jinnie Kang commented, “The 2010s marked the peak of Kim Kang Yong’s artistic maturity. By reintroducing the works from this period in New York, where they were first created, we hoped to once again present the depth and possibilities of Korean contemporary art on the global stage.” The exhibition is held at Gallery Chang on 55th Street in Manhattan. The opening reception took place on Friday, October 3, and was a great success, attended by many figures from the art world and collectors. Meanwhile, at Gallery Chang Seoul, located in the Oakwood Hotel at COEX in Seoul, a two-person exhibition titled Infinite Dialogue featuring Kim Kang Yong and American West Coast contemporary master Shane Guffogg is currently on view and will run through November 15. The Seoul exhibition focuses on Kim’s recent new works, offering a different perspective on his current artistic world from the 2010s masterpieces presented in the New York solo exhibition. www.art-culture.co.kr 김강용 개인전 《REALITY + IMAGE》 개최 > 전시 - 아트앤컬처- 문화예술신문 한국 현대미술의 거장 김강용 작가의 개인전 《REALITY + IMAGE: Revisiting the Works of the 2010s》이 9월 30일부터 10월 22일까지 뉴욕 맨해튼 55번가에 위치한 갤러리장 뉴욕(Gallery Chang New York)에서 개최한다.김강용, Realiy+Imag… < >

Back Cosmic Inspiration from the James Webb Space Telescope: Past, Present, and Future United on a Single Canvas The solo exhibition Memories of Our Future by American artist Shane Guffogg is on view from September 2 to October 10 at Gallery Chang Seoul (B2, No. 8, Oakwood Premier, 46 Teheran-ro 87-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul), bringing the artist’s lifelong inquiry into time and consciousness to Korean audiences. Memories of Our Future poses a deceptively simple question at the heart of its experience: How can memory become the future? From the center of Gangnam, Guffogg invites viewers to contemplate this paradox through a body of work that fuses cosmology, perception, and painterly time. As part of the fall exhibition season, Gallery Chang Seoul (CEO Jang Jun-hwan) presents this major solo show, which centers on large-scale canvases completed at the artist’s Strausmore Ranch studio in California. The exhibition distills Guffogg’s decades-long philosophical exploration of light, time, and perception. While Guffogg employs traditional materials, his process resists fixed plans. Working without preliminary sketches, he relies on the subconscious and improvisation, building up dozens of translucent glaze layers over months. As colors and forms accumulate on the canvas, past and future, consciousness and the unconscious, become intricately intertwined—forming a unique painterly “record of time.” Guffogg explains, “Time is not linear; the past we perceive is, in fact, the present.” This philosophy forms the core of the exhibition and translates into the multilayered experience of time that viewers encounter before his works. A key source of inspiration for this exhibition comes from images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, particularly scenes of stellar birth and extinction. Reflecting on these cosmic images, Guffogg notes, “Looking into the universe, I realized that the past is constantly touching the present. We must recognize the past to understand the now, and only then can we prepare for the future.” The ribbons, veils, and oscillations of color that unfold across his canvases evoke refractions of light and tremors of time, generating the sensation that human memory and cosmic movement are intimately connected. Beyond visual pleasure, Guffogg’s paintings carry a synesthetic resonance. Color can feel musical; brushstrokes ripple like waves. Viewers experience not a single point in time, but multiple temporalities and sensations simultaneously—an encounter that encourages a sense of presence extending beyond the confines of the “now.” This exhibition does not merely recall the past or predict the future. Rather, it is an invitation to inhabit the present more deeply. Memory flows into the future, and the future, Guffogg suggests, is already being formed within memory. The gallery space becomes a site of contemplation, where viewing transforms into an experience of rethinking time itself. Guffogg recently drew international attention during the Venice Biennale period with an installation combining painting and music at Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo. The Seoul exhibition is expected to mark another pivotal moment in his expanding global trajectory, further deepening his central themes of memory and time. Born in California in 1962, Shane Guffogg currently works at Strausmore Ranch, surrounded by vineyards, olive trees, and the rhythms of seasonal change. Nature’s cycles permeate his work. He explores science, music, and the inner landscapes of human memory, translating the meeting point of cosmic order and personal consciousness into a painterly language. By merging classical techniques with contemporary thought, Guffogg reveals the temporality of painting itself. His method of layering dozens of transparent glazes allows light to permeate the surface, enabling physical time and psychological time to coexist within a single frame. The resulting works are not merely images, but traces of time and consciousness. Art critic Victoria Chapman (Los Angeles) describes the exhibition as “an artistic shock that revives senses lost in contemporary society.” She emphasizes that even in an era where technology and convenience mediate human experience, art retains the power to return us to the essence of time and sensation. “We fear the future,” Chapman notes, “yet we are already living inside it.” She points to autonomous vehicles, robots, and digital systems that dominate daily life, warning that while machines learn faster than humans, our capacity to feel and reflect deeply risks growing dull. Emotional connection and shared language, she argues, are increasingly endangered. In this context, Chapman sees Guffogg’s work as offering a vital alternative: “His paintings are not technological spectacles. They suspend us in a state of weightlessness, freeing us from clocks and efficiency. By redefining time and reconnecting past and future, they restore human sensibility.” She concludes emphatically, “Who today still descends into the depths of identity, traversing darkness out of a necessity to create? Shane Guffogg is the answer.” Chang Jun-hwan, CEO of Gallery Chang, explains that Memories of Our Future marks Guffogg’s first overseas engagement following his Venice Biennale presentation. After his acclaimed exhibition Stranger of Time at Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo—widely covered by international media including the BBC—Guffogg chose Seoul as his next destination. “This decision signals Seoul’s emergence as a global center for contemporary art,” Chang notes. “The city is rapidly becoming a hub where major galleries converge and leading artists begin their international trajectories.” The exhibition features new works inspired by James Webb Space Telescope imagery, alongside paintings that condense light and time onto the canvas. Within the paradoxical title Memories of Our Future , viewers are invited to reconsider the meaning of time and existence. Chang adds, “That Seoul is the first stop after Venice demonstrates how the Korean art scene is shifting from consumption to discourse. We hope this exhibition will become a new bridge between Korean and global art communities.” www.bzeronews.com 제임스 웹 우주망원경서 얻은 우주적 영감, ‘과거·현재·미래 한 화면에 담다’ - 불교공뉴스 ‘기억은 어떻게 미래가 될 수 있을까?.’ 미국 작가 셰인 구포그(Shane Guffogg)가 서울 강남 한복판에서 이 질문을 던진다.그의 개인전 ‘Memorie < >

Back BECOMING WITHOUT END: The Ever-Transforming Practice of Ed Moses Gallery Chang in Midtown Manhattan is presenting the retrospective exhibition Ed Moses: Becoming Without End from August 14 through September 27. The exhibition introduces key works from Ed Moses (1926–2018), a leading figure of the postwar Los Angeles art scene, including representative pieces from his Acota , Magma , and Grid series. In the 1950s and 60s, Ed Moses was active in the art group known as the “Cool School,” alongside artists such as Craig Kauffman, Ed Ruscha, Robert Irwin, Larry Bell, Edward Kienholz, John Altoon, Ken Price, and Billy Al Bengston. Centered around the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles, the Cool School developed an experimental and free visual language that stood apart from the New York–centered Abstract Expressionism of the time. For Moses, painting was a “laboratory,” and he continuously pursued change. Every six or seven years, he would shift his style—cutting and reconstructing canvases, or mixing materials such as resin, sand, and metal powder to create entirely new painterly surfaces. A representative work from the experimental Magma series, Ocnal (2002), shows intense energy, with lava-like red tones erupting from within black fissures. Check #2 (2003) introduces an orderly grid, yet disrupts it with irregular brushstrokes and colors, creating a surface where order and chaos coexist. In the late work Grid B (2017), Moses returns to the grid, but layered color planes seem to vibrate, giving the illusion that the painting itself is alive and breathing. Ed Moses was born in 1926 in Long Beach, California, and received his BFA and MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). From 1968, he taught at the University of California, Irvine, and in 1980 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. He participated in the Whitney Biennial in 1991, and in 1996 the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) held a major retrospective titled Ed Moses: A Retrospective of the Paintings and Drawings, 1951–1996 . His works are in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and others. His son, Andy Moses (b. 1962), is also a painter and earlier this year held a solo exhibition at Gallery Chang titled ANDY MOSES: RECENT WORKS . Curator Jinnie Kang of Gallery Chang stated that she organized this exhibition in the hope that “for New York audiences, this will not be merely a retrospective, but an opportunity to encounter Moses’s experimental spirit as it is newly reactivated each time.” https://www.nyculturebeat.com/index.php?mid=Lounge2&document_srl=4161812 < >

Back Shane Guffogg presents At the Still Point of the Turning World – Strangers of Time Shane Guffogg presents At the Still Point of the Turning World – Strangers of Time American artist Shane Guffogg is among the estimated 4% of people with synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulating one sensory pathway involuntarily triggers experiences in another. In Guffogg’s case, he ‘hears’ colors. This unique ability is one of the main elements that inspires his art, as well as his latest exhibition , At the Still Point of the Turning World – Strangers of Time, which coincides with the Venice Art Biennale and is held at the historic Scala Contarini del Bovolo. Collaborating with pianist Anthony Cardella and AI programmer Jonah Lynch, Guffogg has translated his dynamic paintings into musical compositions. Performed by Cardella, these musical pieces accompany Guffogg’s vibrant artworks, which reflect an ongoing dialogue with T.S. Eliot’s renowned poem cycle, Four Quartets, and explore the intersections of time, space, consciousness, and transcendence. ‘We think of time as linear. I don’t think it’s linear. On a quantum physics level, there is no time, at all. It’s strange, the concept of time and space,’ Shane Guffogg tells designboom . ‘How do you paint this moment of time? Is it possible? Each of those brushstrokes is a passing of time. There are thousands of lines in those paintings and each of the colors summons up very sensorial memories that don’t have a specific time or place but have a general feeling. So, I’m creating my tapestry of memories and feelings that become fused into a singular moment.’ At the Still Point of the Turning World – Strangers of Time at Scala Contarini del Bovolo A Spiraling Narrative at Scala Contarini del Bovolo With the historic architecture of the Scala Contarini del Bovolo as his backdrop, Shane Guffogg (find more here ) presents a new series of 21 large-scale paintings. The spiraling 15th-century staircase leading guests to the exhibition space mirrors the circular motifs in Guffogg’s works, creating a striking parallel between the venue’s architecture and his artistic vision. ‘It wasn’t until the paintings were done, that I saw images of the staircase. Subconsciously, that’s what I was doing. It wasn’t intentional,’ the artist shares. This series explores concepts of movement, escape, and migration, highlighting the inherent transitory nature of human existence throughout history. These themes are deeply autobiographical, as Guffogg’s father immigrated to the United States from Northern England in 1957, driven by the pursuit of the ‘American dream.’ Similarly, Guffogg moved from California’s Central Valley to Los Angeles in the late 1980s in search of artistic and cultural acceptance. Only Through Time is Time Conquered 2023, oil on canvas, 84 x 108 inches, (213.6 x 274.3 cm) integrating augmented reality and artificial intelligence The exhibition is divided into two rooms, each inspired by different passages from T.S. Eliot’s writing. It features elements that create a direct dialogue between the poet’s celebrated work and the artist’s canvases through the use of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI). By incorporating AR and AI, Guffogg expands the possibilities of art, inviting viewers to engage with the works in a meaningful and immersive way, encouraging them to look beyond the 24/7 age of information. In the first room, visitors utilize a mobile screen to observe the paintings, witnessing the lines and circles move in rhythmic patterns, while glimpses of Guffogg at work blend into the vibrant dance of color and form. ‘What I was after was that when someone walks up here and enters that room, they’re almost confronted with this movement within stillness, stopping them and bringing them into the present moment. And then, as they step into the next room, they find Neither Flesh nor Fleshless, and they find themselves in an in-between state. From me, the first room is very much about the spirit, about the unseen world. The second room is about the physicality of the world,’ the artist explains. Shane Guffogg presents a new series of 21 large-scale paintings Harmonizing Hues: The Creation of ‘Sounds of Color’ A key component of the exhibition is Sounds of Color, a visual symphony stemming from the collaboration between Guffogg, pianist Anthony Cardella, and AI software programmer Jonah Lynch. Leveraging Guffogg’s synesthesia, Guffogg and Cardella translated the hues from Guffogg’s paintings into chords. These chords were then interpreted by Lynch’s AI program, drawing inspiration from the painter’s brushstrokes and movements. The result? Musical compositions essentially composed by Guffogg’s paintings. ‘I started discussing this with Tony about a year and a half ago. I saw him play somewhere, and I said, You’re an amazing pianist. I’m going to propose an idea. What if there was a program that could read my paintings? What if it spits out some sheet music? Would you be willing to play it?’ Cardella embraced the idea, and together, they devised a method to match colors with chords and notes. Guffogg assigned specific hues to chords, and Cardella experimented with variations of these chords. ‘I’m looking at the color, and when he hits the right thing, I know,’ Guffogg says. ‘In this way, color becomes extremely important. Because it’s not only visually charged but also emotionally charged.’ Cardella performed the music live at the exhibition’s opening on April 17th, 2024. The fusion of sounds with colors and lines against the backdrop of historic architecture created a multisensory dialogue that engaged all senses.

Back ILLUMINATED REFLECTION: Jimi Gleason Gallery Chang in Midtown Manhattan presents Illuminated Reflection , a solo exhibition by Jimi Gleason, on view from April 3 through May 6. Gleason’s practice has long explored themes of light, reflection, and temporality. Jimi Gleason is a painter who reinterprets the aesthetics of the Light and Space Movement—which shaped the California art scene from the 1960s through the 1980s—through a painterly language. Moving beyond traditional abstraction, he employs silver nitrate, a material historically used in ancient mirror-making, allowing chemical reactions, oxidation processes, and the reflection of light to generate surfaces that continually change over time. Within these canvases—where minimalism intersects with Light and Space—viewers encounter a synesthetic experience in which light and time unfold simultaneously. Rather than offering a purely visual encounter, Gleason’s work invites a philosophical dialogue between being and perception, material and immaterial, chance and control. Born in Newport Beach, California, Jimi Gleason studied art at the University of California, Berkeley, and later studied printmaking at the San Francisco Art Institute. After working as a photography assistant in New York, he returned to California and worked in the studio of Ed Moses. This exhibition coincides with Gleason’s exhibition Vapor Wave at the William Turner Gallery in Santa Monica (April 5 – May 31). https://www.nyculturebeat.com/index.php?mid=Lounge2&document_srl=4147405 < >

Back Gallery Chang Presents Time-Shift Exhibition in an Abandoned Building Gallery Chang is presenting a time-shift curatorial exhibition titled CHASE Project: Phase Shift , using an abandoned building as its exhibition site. Originally conceived at the multidisciplinary cultural space “The Bank” in Middletown, Upstate New York, the project has been expanded and re-presented as a new version at Gallery Chang in Manhattan. Three artists—Shin Kiwoun, Kim Hong Bin, and Anon—are participating. The exhibition first presents works by Kim Hong Bin and Anon through August 5, followed by Shin Ki Woun’s solo presentation Illusion of Permanence through August 12. Shin also participated in the restoration project of Nam June Paik’s The More the Better at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea. Video artist Shin Ki woun explores the meanings of “existence” and “non-existence” through images that inhabit a worldview of “generation” and “disappearance,” adopting and experimenting with technical methods that push beyond the boundaries of art. Gallery Chang explains that Shin revives images of memories that were once real but soon vanished—becoming ambiguous and lost—by using time-lapse filming to reconstruct them as psychological spaces within memory. Textile artist An On has developed her own visual language through flat works, reliefs, and installations using textiles as her primary medium. By tearing, layering, and stitching fabrics that she has printed herself, she creates surfaces that are both painterly and sculptural. Gallery Chang notes that An’s textile collages contain narratives of color and layers of sensation within meticulous structures. They visualize natural temporality, personal emotions, and fragments of memory through the materiality of fabric. Repeated cutting, reassembling, and sewing leave traces of contemplation, while restrained vertical and horizontal compositions maintain a steady rhythm, and colors evoke sensations of season, light, and emotion. Artist Kim Hong Bin, who works under the name “VANHADA,” expresses themes such as “the beauty one seeks” and “the challenge of something new.” According to Gallery Chang, Kim reflects the “anxiety of an unsettled life” in his works, exaggerating colors to express how he absorbs and even enjoys stimuli and stress from his environment. Working mainly with acrylic on flat surfaces, he uses paint like stickers and creates various forms by crumpling, tearing, and reconfiguring his materials. Curator Jinnie Kang commented, “This exhibition itself—the act of moving a project that began in Upstate New York into another urban space—is a ‘process of transition.’ It will be an opportunity to imagine together how space and art can meet.” Park Jong-won, Reporter www.koreadaily.com 갤러리 장, 폐건물 이용 시간차 작품전 | 미주중앙일보 ‘CHASE Project: Phase Shift’…신기운·김홍빈·안온 출품 은행으로 사용됐던 폐건물을 예술의 현장으로 옮겨 전시 < >

Back Artist Stephen Robert Johns Breaks the Boundary Between Architecture and Painting An exhibition by painter Stephen Robert Johns , who gained international attention after being invited to a special global project that engages in artistic “dialogue” with the late works of world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid, will be held throughout August at Gallery Chang in Gangnam, Seoul. Titled Stephen Robert Johns: Reading the Language of Nature Through Color and Curve , the exhibition presents Johns’s distinctive painterly practice at the intersection of architecture and painting. A leading figure in American hard-edge painting, Johns is set to participate this fall in Traveling with Zaha , an exhibition at the Afragola high-speed railway station in Naples, Italy. The exhibition is a curated project in which contemporary artists respond to Zaha Hadid’s organic curves and architectural philosophy. Johns will present works that sensorially connect to Hadid’s curved structures through what he calls “topographic painting”—abstracted aerial views of the land seen from above. For many years, Johns has traveled between California and Costa Rica, documenting patterns of mountain ranges, river systems, and farmland observed from airplanes. The organic terrains he captures bear a striking resemblance to Hadid’s architectural language of flow and curvature. This visual dialogue continues in Johns’s August solo exhibition at Gallery Chang in Gangnam. Three painting series connected to the Zaha Hadid project— Puntarenas , Mountains & Volcanos , and Piedadis Church —will be shown together, revealing a resonant interplay that moves fluidly across the boundaries of architecture and painting.
