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

Aug 20 - 25, 2024 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next C1 New York FAIRYTALE Aug 20 - 25, 2024 Kim In Ok INTRO Gallery Chang is pleased to present Fairytale , the debut solo exhibition of Korean artist Kim In-Ok in New York City. Kim In Ok, a female artist from Korea, has been actively creating works using traditional oriental painting techniques, specifically the use of powdered pigments and mineral pigments. Her unique soft and soothing painting has recently led her to explore various new approaches in her work. This exhibition features many of her representative pieces, including the well-known series The Way Back to Hometown and Waiting . Additionally, it will include new works that have not been previously shown, drawing significant attention. Kim In Ok is a recognized painter who has received acclaim through numerous solo and group exhibitions. Her work is known for its lyrical quality and the delightful contrast of vivid colors. Although the materials and techniques she uses follow traditional Oriental painting methods, her work also shows notable Western influences in its formal aspects. Her paintings often incorporate elements of minimalism and surrealism, such as trees that float away like cotton candy or broccoli transforming into trees, showcasing a blend and transition of styles. The artist skillfully navigates the boundaries between figurative and abstract art, as well as realism and surrealism. Her labor-intensive process involves repeatedly applying and drying layers of powdered and mineral pigments, resulting in works that are even more beautiful and naturally colored when viewed in person. Using the metaphor of a tree standing tall amidst a storm, the artist conveys her philosophy: “Everyone hopes for happiness, not misfortune. While we cannot turn back time, we can look forward to future dreams.” Through her work, she aims to offer comfort and hope to viewers. In a reality filled with various challenges, Kim In-Ok invites us into a pure and warm world of fairy tales and imagination. INSTALLATION VIEWS ARTWORK

Jun 20 - 27, 2024 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next C1 New York MUSEUM COLLECTION Jun 20 - 27, 2024 Yuri Gorbachev INTRO Museum Collection June 20, 2024 - July 27, 2024 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 Fabergé, 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 (Новгород) 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 Rublyov 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 weave the cultural influences from his 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, such as floral patterns, as a central element in his still-life series. 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 (a type of Russian carriage) and buildings reminiscent of Moscow’s iconic St Basil’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. INSTALLATION VIEWS ARTWORK

United States, 1950 Artist Biography Works Next Stephen Robert Johns United States, 1950 BIOGRAPHY Stephen Robert Johns is an American painter renowned for his geometric abstract compositions that explore the interplay of color, form, and pattern. Born in 1950, Johns studied at the Chouinard Art Institute before earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the California Institute of the Arts in 1972. His work is deeply influenced by the Bauhaus movement, particularly the color theories of Johannes Itten and the geometric explorations of László Moholy-Nagy, as well as the balance between architecture and the natural world. Johns’ paintings are characterized by their minimalist aesthetic, featuring bold curves, planes, and angles rendered in vivid, primary colors. His compositions draw inspiration from the organic geometry of nature—leaves, flowers, and landscapes—blended with the structural precision of architectural forms. This fusion creates dynamic works that evoke a sense of harmony between structure and fluidity, inviting viewers to engage with the contrasts between natural and constructed environments. Throughout his career, Johns has exhibited his work internationally. Highlights include a solo exhibition at the Kitakyushu Municipal Museum of Art in Japan (2015) and a retrospective at the Afragola High-Speed Train Station in Naples, Italy (2022), where his paintings dialogued with the organic architecture of Zaha Hadid. These exhibitions underscored Johns’ ability to merge geometric abstraction with site-specific resonance. In addition to his painting practice, Johns has participated in artist residencies, including the Julia and David White Artists’ Colony in Costa Rica, which enriched his exploration of geometry and color. His works have been collected by major public and private institutions worldwide, earning him recognition as a master of geometric abstraction. Currently, Johns splits his time between Los Angeles and Costa Rica, continuing to create works that reflect his ongoing exploration of the intersections between geometry, color, and the natural world.

Eclipes of Bliss: The Dualities Within Ahn Chaeyeun Oct 7 - Oct 19, 2019 Eclipses of Bliss: The Dualities Within Chaeyeun Ahn's latest exhibition, "Eclipses of Bliss: The Dualities Within," is a captivating exploration of the delicate balance between light and darkness, joy and fear. Drawing from her background in Visual Communication Design, Ahn delves into the realms of imagination and self-reflection, creating a body of work that resonates with profound emotional complexity. In her practice, Ahn frequently employs the image of the rabbit as a central motif—a symbol that bridges the gap between innocence and introspection. The rabbit serves as a medium through which her inner world is expressed, embodying a spectrum of emotions that are as diverse as they are nuanced. This recurring figure navigates a landscape where brightness intertwines with shadow, where moments of bliss are not devoid of underlying trepidation. The title, "Eclipses of Bliss," aptly captures the essence of Ahn’s work. It evokes the notion that even in moments of profound happiness, there exists an inherent complexity—a potential for overshadowing fears and uncertainties. Her art invites viewers to confront these dualities, to reflect on their own experiences of joy and apprehension, and to find solace in the acceptance of these intertwined aspects of existence. Ahn's visual narratives are both introspective and accessible, inviting audiences to engage with her exploration of self and the broader human experience. Through her vibrant yet contemplative compositions, she challenges us to embrace the full spectrum of our emotions, acknowledging that even in the midst of bliss, there can be shadows that add depth and meaning to our lives. In "Eclipses of Bliss: The Dualities Within," Chaeyeun Ahn offers a unique perspective on the human condition, using her artistry to illuminate the often-unspoken tensions that shape our emotional landscape. This exhibition is a testament to her ability to transform personal introspection into universal truths, inviting us all to find beauty and understanding in the interplay of light and shadow.

Apr 11 - May 4, 2024 Intro Installation Views Artwork Next C1 New York The Hidden Masterpiece Apr 11 - May 4, 2024 Cho Yong Ik INTRO Cho Yong Ik, a prominent figure in the realm of Korean monochrome art, is renowned for his exploration of the aesthetics of ‘revealing the void.’ His artistic method involves repetitive actions that embody a spirit of negation, resulting in works characterized by a delicate balance of traces and empty space created through the process of applying and erasing pigments, reflecting the process of discovering one’s own realm in accordance with the principles of a single stroke. Alongside other key figures in Korean monochrome art such as Park Seo Bo, Chung Sanghwa, Ha Chong Hyun, Yun Hyong Keun, and Jung Chang Sub, Cho Yong Ik has played a pivotal role in shaping the discourse surrounding Korean abstract painting. This exhibition not only unveils the hidden masters of monochrome art but also provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Korean abstract painting, positioning Cho Yong Ik’s works within the broader context of the genre’s development in Korea.
