On display are a total of 28 pieces, which range in size and content but are primarily large portraits. Those featured in the works include artists like Louise Bourgeois, Gwen Stefani, and Samuel Beckett–and many also include statements such as, “I’d Be God’ Feb 19 Around The Paintings February 12, 2026 "Around the Paintings" was a curated tasting event at Gallery Chang NY that celebrated Korean heritage, art, and culture. Centered on the works of artist Cho Yong Ik, his oeuvre was highlighted by thoughtful pairings with curated rice wine from Hana Makgeolli, an artisanal brewery, and a selection of small bites from MissKOREA BBQ. It is widely accepted that Cho Yong Ik is one of the most important figures of Korean abstraction, having represented the countr Feb 12

PRESS SBS NEWS | JAN 13, 2026 Cho Yong ik: A Journey of Self-Negation and the Evolution of Korean Abstraction We are pleased to introduce the profound artistic legacy of Cho Yong Ik, a titan of Korean modern art whose work serves as a vital bridge across the history of Korean abstraction. A recent retrospective highlights his evolution from early figurative experimentation to the serene heights of Dansaekhwa (monochrome painting). From Figurative Roots to the Informel Movement Cho Yong-ik’s journey began in the late 1950s. His early works, such as the 1957 piece depicting a boy with an accordion, display a sophisticated understanding of cubist structures reminiscent of Picasso. During this period, his "Expressionist" techniques—characterized by raw, vigorous brushwork—earned him early acclaim in the National Art Exhibition. Soon after, he became a central figure in the Korean Informel movement, utilizing thick, textured knife marks to explore the primal origins of life and materiality. The Rhythms of Deletion: Pointillism and Wave Patterns In the 1970s, Cho’s style underwent a dramatic transformation. He began a meticulous process of "erasing" through dots—a technique akin to musical staccato. This rhythmic repetition evolved into the iconic wave patterns that defined his contribution to the Dansaekhwa era. For Cho, these repetitive gestures were not merely aesthetic; they were a way to deepen his philosophical contemplation through symbols and the physical act of painting. The Philosophy of "Self-Negation" and the "Mushim" Series In his later years, Cho achieved a state of artistic transcendence known as Mushim (mindlessness). In this phase, he painted bamboo leaves with effortless, unadorned touches, reaching a meditative state of "Simui" (the depth of the mind). Cho Yong-ik famously defined the core of modern art as "Self-Negation." He believed that by constantly erasing each moment of his past life and work, he could clear the path for the creation of a new existence. This philosophy of continuous renewal remains a cornerstone of Korean contemporary art.

His latest exhibition captures the silent, majestic movements of the cosmos onto the canvas. The Interweaving of Infinite Lines Guffogg’s canvases are filled with countless thin, interwoven lines with no discernible beginning or end. As dozens of these layers accumulate, they create a sense of deep space—an abyss that resembles the orbital paths of planets. These lines represent the history of stars, born hundreds of thousands of light-years ago, whose light is only now reaching our eyes. Technique: A Devotional Process The artist’s unique technique involves binding three brushes of different sizes together, moving them in unison to translate the infinite world onto the canvas. This repetitive process of drawing slender, trajectory-like lines is akin to a spiritual practice or a seeker’s meditation. The Intersection of Past and Present Inspired by images from the James Webb Space Telescope, Guffogg focuses on the flow of time and space. His philosophy is rooted in the idea that what we perceive as the "past" (the light from distant stars) is actually our "present." His work challenges the viewer to face the traces of yesterday, the shadows of today, and the brilliance of tomorrow all at once.

Back February 21, 2026 Coffee With The Artist Coffee with the Artist was an intimate Saturday morning event encouraging the public to engage with artist Alison Van Pelt. Taking place February 21st, 2026 from 11AM-1PM at 150 W 55th Street NYC (Gallery Chang NY), attendees enjoyed catered coffee and sweet treats from GoGoJang cafe next door. The event was designed so that visitors could speak with Van Pelt in depth, a rare opportunity of intensive and direct engagement with an artist for the general public. Those who joined us included repeat attendees from the previous Thursday evening’s Opening Reception, as well as new walk-ins from the neighborhood. Dozens of guests came through, many of whom were seeing Van Pelt’s work for the first time. During the visit, gallery owner JunHwan Chang took an iPhone video of Van Pelt in front of her portrait of Chris Cornell of her S’aints series. The portrait, in the left section to the gallery entryway, was dubbed off-camera by Van Pelt and her friends as “the hot guy corner,” with Cornell joined by portraits of David Beckham and Jesus Christ. Van Pelt has a good sense of humor–reflected again in her portraits of Rupert Murdoch and Pete Doherty, which both are accompanied by the phrasing, “I’d Be Loaded,” a play on words referencing Murdoch’s wealth and Doherty’s rockstar cocaine habit. When asked about these pieces, Van Pelt noted the connection and added that Doherty used to date supermodel Kate Moss. The reference to celebrities and the use of celebrity as a type of iconography is woven throughout the exhibition, though not a sole theme. Van Pelt’s work is clearly influenced by Hollywood, which makes sense considering the artist is based in Los Angeles, the U.S. (and world’s) celeb epicenter. As aforementioned, Van Pelt’s themes are not limited to stars. Much of her work includes more obscure references to art history, revealing a deeply intelligent mind: Van Pelt was formally trained in both California and Florence. Her website cites Agnes Martin, Robert Rauschenberg and Yayoi Kusama as key influences. Of Kusama, Van Pelt noted during the event that early in her career, Kusama had written an unsolicited letter to Georgia O’Keeffe, and that the latter artist, far more established at the time, responded. In the ensuing correspondence, one piece of advice from O’Keeffe to Kusama stands out: “show your art to everyone you can.” Gallery Chang is happy to support Alison Van Pelt in such an endeavor.

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”.

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.

United States, 1969 Artist Biography Works Next Steven Seinberg United States, 1969 BIOGRAPHY Steven Seinberg was born in Brooklyn, New York, and later attended college in Atlanta, Georgia. His palette, bold gestural strokes, and poetic line work connect the external world to a sense of continuous motion, where change is constant and loss is inevitable. Seinberg draws ongoing inspiration from biological perception, environmental conditions, and the emotional responses they evoke. His paintings communicate in a quiet yet evocative manner—subtle, instinctive, and deeply intuitive. Guided by moment-to-moment intuition throughout the creative process, the elements within his work emerge and recede almost imperceptibly, dissolving into the painted surface as the composition unfolds. Through this process, Seinberg poetically conveys the powerful, often primordial forces that govern the rhythms of the organic universe. His works translate these forces into atmospheric images that resonate beyond the visual, nurturing the mind, heart, and soul. WORKS Load More

Paris, 1973 Artist Biography Works Next Miguel Ángel Iglesias Paris, 1973 BIOGRAPHY Miguel Ángel Iglesias is a renowned Spanish painter celebrated for his evocative abstract works that blend vibrant colors, dynamic textures, and an intuitive sense of movement. Born in Catalonia in 1968, Iglesias draws deeply from the landscapes and light of his native Spain, transforming natural and emotional inspirations into dynamic compositions. His formal training at the University of Barcelona laid the foundation for his unique artistic language, merging gestural abstraction with organic forms to explore the interplay between chaos and harmony. Iglesias’ paintings are characterized by bold, sweeping gestures layered with intricate details, resulting in a meditative balance between energy and stillness. Through his masterful use of color and light, his works invite viewers to engage with themes of transformation, emotion, and the natural world. This ability to evoke the universal through the abstract has established him as one of Spain’s most compelling contemporary artists. Throughout his career, Iglesias has presented his work in significant solo exhibitions, including Dialogo entre Paisajes at N2 Gallery in Barcelona, Spain, and a major showcase at Gallery Yeh in Seoul, South Korea. These exhibitions have brought his unique vision to audiences both in Europe and Asia, earning him international acclaim. His participation in prestigious art fairs has further cemented his reputation. He has exhibited at events such as the London Art Fair (2024, 2023, 2020), PAN Amsterdam (2023, 2021), Modern Art Fair in Paris (2023, 2022), KIAF (Korea International Art Fair) in Seoul (2019), and Art Miami (2019). These fairs have connected his works with collectors and audiences across the globe. Iglesias’ paintings are part of esteemed collections, including Colección Testimonis (Fundació La Caixa), Fundación Fran Daurer, Fundación Vila Casas, and Fundación Francisco Godia, further solidifying his place among Spain’s most respected artists. In 2025, Iglesias will showcase a major solo exhibition in New York, marking a significant milestone in his career. This exhibition will feature large-scale works that continue his exploration of light, texture, and the emotional resonance of abstraction. Miguel Ángel Iglesias lives and works in Spain, where he continues to push the boundaries of abstract painting. His works remain a testament to his ability to translate the intangible into powerful visual experiences, inspiring audiences worldwide. WORKS Load More
