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 At the Still Point of the Turning World - Strangers of Time A new series of twenty-one large-scale paintings represent the ongoing dialogue between the American abstract artist Shane Guffogg and T.S. Eliot’s famous set of poems, the Four Quartets . In his works the artist develops the ideas of movement, escape and migration, highlighting the transitory aspect inherent to human nature. These are autobiographical themes for Guffog, in fact his father emigrated from Northern England to the USA in 1957 looking for the “American dream”.

On July 30, the Korean Association of New York Artists (KANA) held its opening for the exhibition Binary Equilibrium at Gallery Chang . The group exhibition was curated by Calvin Lee and Lina Hwang, featuring the works of eight multidisciplinary Korean-born and Korean-American artists. The show, part of a two-part collaboration with Gallery Chang and KANA (with the second part being Unbound Playground ), was inspired by a culmination of Western existentialism and Eastern takes on nihilism. Electric in its dynamic and dialectic curation, it adopts a playful approach to themes of life and death, sublimity and nothingness. Installation view of Binary Equilibrium , on view from July 30 to August 7 at Gallery Chang. Works: Ice Swans, Sand Slit (Dawn Kim) / Vertical Equilibrium, Binary Equilibrium (Calvin Lee). Courtesy of KANA and Gallery Chang. Binary Equilibrium , at its heart, is an exhibition about contradictions. According to the press release, “the interplay between humanity and the natural world” informs the show’s “synthesis or equilibrium between these opposing ideologies.” The space is divided into four sections: Sublime, Beauty, Tragic, and Comic. Tied to the history of philosophy, these sections are inspired by the writings of Sartre, Nietschze, and Nicolai Hartmann, as well as Eastern teachings of naturalism. Two disparate intellectual traditions conflict and potentially synthesize with each other — a “binary equilibrium,” if you will. Every section presented two artists’ works in pairs: Saejun Kim and Taejoong Kim, Calvin Lee and Dawn Kim, Paul Rho and Yuna Cho, and Jean Oh and Kai Oh. These works’ dialectical placements encouraged their viewer to stew in apparent contradictions, prompting them to reconcile the irreconcilable.

Courtesy of KANA and Gallery Chang. To do this, much of the art drew from a childlike place, harkening back to a time in life when a logical world was not necessary. The multimedia works all walk the tenuous line between Korean ideals of balance and a more Western philosophy-based postmodern pull toward hyperindividualism. From Paul Rho’s Photogami series , where each photograph was folded into origami and then unfolded, to the thickly textured oil paintings of Jean Oh that don stitches, cuts, and scratches, to the vibrant screen prints of Kai Oh, the show pulsed with enough whimsy as to not drown in the weight of its own hefty philosophical source points.

Works: Vein, The initial phase of berry growth is a result of cell division and cell expansion (Kai Oh) / Bumpy, Serial (Jean Oh). Courtesy of KANA and Gallery Chang. The collision of Eastern and Western philosophy and particularly how nihilism interacts with Eastern naturalism were important touchstones in the formulation of this show, according to curator Calvin Lee. These questions of culture manifest themselves in the show with juxtapositions of naturalism and industrial: angular plaster sculptures sit alongside soft, rounded lanterns shaped from prints of Korean oceanscapes. Muted and hushed explorations of vague traces of the human body are paired against ultra-vibrant scenes of vineyards, accented with a distinctly modern neon color scheme. Many of the artists utilized traditional Korean materials and practices, expanding them into something distinctly fresh and distinct.

The synthesis of the two ideals is stirring — perhaps there is nothing pristine and natural left in this industrial world, for even the soft, muted lushness has been touched by the brutal, the concrete, the hyper-developed. But then again, perhaps the natural can exist alongside the industrial and wrap its soft edges around hard lines, creating something distinctly of our time and beautiful in its own specific way. Binary Equilibrium was on view at Gallery Chang from July 30 to August 7, 2024. Featured artists include: Tae Joong Kim, Sae Jun Kim, Jean Oh, Dawn Kim, Calvin Lee, Yuna Cho, Paul Rho, and Kai Oh.

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. At the Still Point of the Turning World will be on view until November 24th, 2024.

Back shane guffogg: at the still point of the turning world - strangers of time SCALA CONTARINI DEL BOVOLO MUSEUM, PHOTO CREDIT: VICTORIA CHAPMAN Shane Guffogg, “At the Still Point of the Turning World - Only Through Time is Time Conquered” 2023, oil on canvas, 84 x 108 inches, (213.6 x 274.3 cm) Shane Guffogg (photo credit Sonia Huckabay) PRESS RELEASE Celebrated American artist Shane Guffogg lands in Venice this April New exhibition opening during the Venice Biennale to showcase ongoing dialogue between the abstract artist and poet T.S. Eliot This April, at the historic Scala Contarini del Bovolo, Venice, American Artist Shane Guffogg will present a new series of 21 paintings titled At the Still Point of the Turning World – Strangers of Time , opening during the 60th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia 2024. Guffogg’s latest major exhibition promises to add a splash of joy and a touch of magic to Venice’s energetic art scene this April. This unprecedented collection of work in fact represents the ongoing dialogue between the abstract artist and poet T.S. Eliot’s renowned set of poems, Four Quartets , which has inspired Guffogg to create works that explore the intersection of time, space, consciousness and transcendence. The series of large-scale paintings explores concepts of movement, escape and migration, placing human nature as innately transitory throughout history. These themes are particularly autobiographical, as Guffogg's father immigrated to the United States in 1957 from Northern England, driven by the pursuit of the "American dream". Subsequently, Guffogg moved from the central valley of California to Los Angeles in the late 1980s, in the pursuit of artistic and cultural acceptance. The exhibition will be split in two rooms, each inspired by a different passage from T.S. Eliot’s writing and will feature selected works that can be enhanced through augmented reality (AR). Utilizing AR and artificial intelligence, Guffogg expands the possibilities of what art can be, inviting viewers to see and think beyond the 24/7 age of information, in a meaningful and immersive way. At the end of the first room, for example, will be the large canvas Only Through Time is Time Conquered (7 x 9 feet; 213.6 x 274.3 cm), which draws on the colours of the rich history of Venice and a painting by Tintoretto permanently exhibited in the rooms of Palazzo Contarini. The canvas will be AR-enabled, to allow viewers to experience the movement of the artist's hand in creating the work. The viewer will have a QR code to scan and then, once pointed at the painting, the AR will be activated showing the inversion of the application of colours and lines, until the painting is in its initial phase, which will then dissolve visually revealing the work by Tintoretto underneath.

IT SERVES AS A FOCAL POINT IN DIALOGUE WITH GUFFOGG’S “AT THE STILL POINT OF THE TURNING WORLD - STRANGERS OF PARADISE” EXHIBITION. MOVED BY THE PROFOUND INFLUENCE OF TINTORETTO’S WORK, GUFFOGG DECIDED TO CREATE SITE-SPECIFIC PIECES AT SCALA CONTARINI DEL BOVOLO. FOLLOWING THOROUGH CONTEMPLATION, HE OPTED TO HARMONIZE HIS COLOR PALETTE WITH THAT OF TINTORETTO’S MASTERPIECE, A DECISION THAT SUCCESSFULLY SUPPORTS THE COHESIVE THEME OF HIS EXHIBITION AT THE SAME VENUE.” — VICTORIA CHAPMAN, STUDIO DIRECTOR, GUFFOGG STUDIO Enamoured with Europe’s Old Masters and inspired by their techniques, Guffogg has developed his own unique style incorporating a fascination of magic, iconography and quantum physics, which perfectly matches the uniqueness of the exhibition’s setting. The iconic Scala Contarini del Bovolo, a Venetian palazzo featuring a spiralling 15th Century staircase, 28 meters high, intertwines and dialogues with the artworks seamlessly. - Midas Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #1 , 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 36 inches, (101.6 x 91.4 cm) Written by Victoria Chapman (Studio Director, Guffogg Studio) "In Four Quartets, T.S. Eliot explores themes of the present moment, the cosmic order, and coexistence, a sentiment shared by artist Shane Guffogg. Commencing in April 2023, Guffogg embarked on a creative journey, producing twenty-one paintings inspired by three stanzas from Burnt Norton, the first chapter of Eliot's work. These artworks, employing lines and colors, provide a visual examination of the exchange of thoughts across time. Guffogg's engagement with Four Quartets commenced over three decades ago and endures, as he contemplates Eliot's exploration of the abstract interplay between life experiences and the formation of memories. Eliot's poem, written in England between 1936 and 1942, is divided into four sections, each relating to one of the classical elements: air, earth, water, and fire. Eliot's verse, 'Be remembered; involved with past and future. Only through time is time conquered.' from Burnt Norton Section II, highlights the central theme of time's influence on human existence. Influenced by both Eastern and Western literature, including the Bhagavad Gita, Confessions of Saint Augustine, and The Divine Comedy, Eliot also drew inspiration from Beethoven's quartet, which may have influenced the poem's title and musical underpinnings. Guffogg, with his sound-to-color synesthesia, instinctively recognized this musicality, evident in his paintings. The works convey an inherent 'sound score' through their visual rhythm, offering an intuitive perception that guides the composition through the choice of lines and colors. The exhibition's largest piece, 'Only Through Time is Time Conquered,' exudes a dynamic quality, with blue lines at its core that pulse and summon supporting red and yellow lines, infusing contrasting tones with an oceanic sense of movement. Guffogg shared his creative process, revealing a connection between sound and color: 'As I was working on the seven by nine-foot canvas, and listening to abstract-classical-orchestrated music, I noticed the presence of dissonant chords. This parallel with my paintings, especially 'Only Through Time, Time is Conquered,' where complementary colors push against each other, creates a tension akin to the unsettling notes in the music. This experience immerses me in the present moment during the painting process, disconnecting from extraneous thoughts.” “The importance of a painting’s title varies from artist to artist. In the case of Shane Guffogg, the title serves as an informative element for the painting but does not determine or predict its creation. The titles, “Only through time is time conquered,” “Reach into the silence,” and “Neither flesh nor fleshless,” draw inspiration from T.S. Eliot’s desire to transcend time and live in the present, as explored in these stanzas.” Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #2 , 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 36 inches, (101.6 x 91.4 cm) Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #3 , 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 36 inches, (101.6 x 91.4 cm) Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #4 , 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 36 inches, (101.6 x 91.4 cm) “Guffogg’s enduring fascination with Eliot’s Four Quartets has led to the evolution of his artwork, reflecting increasing complexity. His approach to life also mirrors this deepened connection, as he embraces fleeting moments with a sense of permanence. Using glazes, he masterfully creates the illusion of multiple light sources within his compositions. In addition, his extensive research into the techniques and materials of old masters, along with his background in publishing articles on art, results in figurative subjects transformed into abstract forms.” The interplay between light and dark, represented by transparent veils of light and complementary colors, produces a dynamic tension within the paintings, leading the viewer into an infinite shadow of darkness while drawing them towards the light. Guffogg's work encapsulates a timeless quality, capturing the eternal moment, which resonates with Eliot's themes. It invites the viewer to engage consciously and subconsciously, seamlessly merging these aspects and revealing the essence felt rather than merely perceived. Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #5 , 2023, oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches, (76.2 x 60.9 cm) Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #6 , 2023, oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches, (76.2 x 60.9 cm) Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #7 , 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 36 inches Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #8 , 2023, oil on canvas, 60 x 48 inches, (152.4 x 121.9 cm) Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #9 , 2023, oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches, (76.2 x 60.9 cm) Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #10 , 2023, oil on canvas, 30 x 24 inches, (76.2 x 60.9 cm) Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #11 , 2023, oil on canvas, 60 x 48 inches, (152.4 x 121.9 cm) Neither Flesh nor Fleshless #12 , 2023, oil on canvas, 40 x 36 inches, (101.6 x 91.4 cm) Guffogg's "At the Still Point of the Turning World" series, originating from a subconscious sketch in 2009, explores his quest for inner balance and serves as an autobiographical narrative. These paintings are not self-portraits in the conventional sense but expressions of his existence, a journey through the human condition, and his relationship with time. His artistic process involves a silent, solitary exploration of his work, where thoughts become visual language. Music plays a pivotal role in his creative process, acting as a conduit to connect with the universal essence. This process, which Guffogg describes as dipping his toes into the pond of the universe on a good day, is a ritual he continues to uphold. “This narrative underscores the profound and personal dimensions of Guffogg’s artistry and the unique creative process that fuels it.” Guffogg's art, much like T.S. Eliot's poetry, encapsulates a profound yearning, inviting observers to experience the authentic, providing a space to encounter time and the present. These works serve as a testament to Guffogg's need to share evidence of what it means to be alive, encompassing thoughts, emotions, love, suffering, and healing. His art, particularly in the "Neither Flesh nor Fleshless" series, is deeply autobiographical, portraying moments of existence. The "Neither Flesh nor Fleshless" series invokes an enigmatic quality, exploring the interplay of flesh and the absence of it. Guffogg's approach involves allowing his hands to move across the canvas, making the brushes an extension of his physicality. Thin veils reminiscent of Renaissance art, particularly the translucent black veil seen in the Mona Lisa, represent the delicacy and fragility of life and the moment of transition. These paintings aim to present an unsolvable question, provoking contemplation. Emotional and primarily red in color, with various shades of dark, earthy-red, charcoal, and smoky hues, the series delves into the convergence of spiritual and physical worlds. These works provoke contemplation of time and composition, offering a reflection on the past, present, and even the future. They express a belief system rooted in human existence, sharing intimate thoughts, sensations, and a blend of the mental and spiritual. They evoke words like "annunciation," "rapture," and "communion," prompting self-awareness and introspection. Collectively, the series emanates an ethereal quality, while individually, each painting conveys a unique message. Gestural marks transform into ribbons or veils of light, revealing saturation and fluidity, evoking celestial elements. The series prompts a sense of longing and contemplation, exploring the boundary between order and chaos. Guffogg's work serves as a testament to truth, representing both a historical narrative and a visual and emotional experience. Reach into the Silence #1 , 2023 oil on canvas, 72 x 60 inches (182.8 x 152.4 cm) “The “Reach into the Silence” series, comprised of eight paintings, visualizes a Gregorian chant, embodying the concept that words and music can reach stillness only through form and pattern. Guffogg’s ability to follow a command and create in response to a voice reflects the depth of his creative process.” In contrast to Monet's works at Giverny, Guffogg doesn't depict his garden but paints abstract moments informed by the landscape. His connection to the land and his understanding of light enables him to create a sense of depth and movement, similar to Monet's approach. Guffogg's keen perception of the environment, weather patterns, and his intimate connection with his chosen workspace contribute to the unique quality of his artwork. Reach into the Silence #2 , 2023 oil on canvas, 72 x 60 inches (182.8 x 152.4 cm) Reach into the Silence #3 , 2023 oil on canvas, 72 x 60 inches (182.8 x 152.4 cm) Reach into the Silence #4 , 2023 oil on canvas, 72 x 60 inches (182.8 x 152.4 cm) Reach into the Silence #5 , 2023 oil on canvas, 72 x 60 inches (182.8 x 152.4 cm) This narrative delves into the intricate and profound dimensions of Guffogg's artistic process, inviting viewers to explore the intricate layers of his work and its connection to the world around him. “In Guffogg’s own words, his artistic process serves as a form of meditation, a means of documenting his journey through life. Each line, each brushstroke on the canvas represents a unique moment in time. What viewers witness in his paintings is the accumulation of these moments, all distilled into a singular, profound instant.” His artworks are not only visual expressions but also personal narratives, sharing his own story while reflecting on the profound themes found in T.S. Eliot's text. In each brushstroke, viewers can explore the interplay of line, color, and elements of space, delving into the essence of his experiences and the emotions woven into his work. Reach into the Silence #6 , 2023 oil on canvas, 72 x 60 inches (182.8 x 152.4 cm) Reach into the Silence #7 , 2023 oil on canvas, 72 x 60 inches (182.8 x 152.4 cm) Reach into the Silence #8 2023 oil on canvas, 72 x 60 inches (182.8 x 152.4 cm) Only Through Time is Time Conquered, 2023, oil on canvas, 84 x 108 inches, (213.6 x 274.3 cm) “Be remembered; involved with past and future.only through time is time conquered.” — Burnt Norton Section II, T.S. Eliot Since Guffogg’s first encounter with the Four Quartets , his fascination has not wavered. If anything, it has grown deeper, which is evident in the developing complexities of his paintings and can also be seen in how he lives life, taking each moment in each day as something that is fleeting but permanent. Guffogg uses glazes to paint the illusion of various light sources within the composition. He has also written and published numerous articles analyzing paintings of the old masters and reads books on artists’ materials from the past. The results are figurative subjects painted as abstract forms. There is a balanced struggle between the light and dark, yin and yang, represented through painted transparent veils of light and complementary colors, that push the illusionary picture plane further back into an infinite shadow of darkness as light pushes toward the viewer. The paintings embody a certain timelessness; capturing the eternal moment, which is the key and link to Eliot. The viewer is an integral part of the work because these paintings require an exploration that engages the conscious and subconscious, which the artist seamlessly fuses together, bridging the essence of what is felt rather than merely perceived. In 2009, while listening to a public speaker and without thinking, Guffogg felt a need to sketch his subconscious. This was the beginning of the At the Still Point of the Turning World series – lines that would loop out toward the edge and back around to the center of the page as if there was a hidden gravitational force controlling his hand. It was the artist’s way of finding his own still point and inner balance. These paintings are autobiographical. They aren’t mirror images of what he looks like; eyes, face, hair, etc. Rather, they are the evidence of his existence, the exploration of the human condition, and his relationship to time. Not only are they paintings, they are a confirmation of truth. When Guffogg enters his studio, it is a silent act. The artist walks around, looking to see what his paintings are telling him. He works alone, there are no assistants. Watching him lay down the first traces of lines is quite mystical. He has said that thoughts become words, but what do our thoughts look like before they become language? Then the music is turned on and he becomes a conduit. As Guffogg likes to say, when he is having a good day in the studio, he gets to dip his toes into the pond of the universe. Like Eliot’s poetry, Guffogg has instilled a certain yearning into these works. These paintings also bring a moment for the observer to experience a place to witness time and the present. I think this may be Guffogg’s need to share evidence of what it means to be alive; think, feel, love, suffer, heal. I am returning to the fact that it is autobiographical. Guffogg has said he paints moments of existence. “The experience of these paintings transports us to places of refuge that are completely unknown. They are summoning moments of his existence, steeped within the consciousness of which they are manifested.” [Source from VC Projects press release] www.vcprojects.art Shane Guffogg/Scala Contarini del Bovolo Museum, Italy — VC PROJECTS < >

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.
