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.

Back Shin Ki Woun’s Works Presented in New York: Solo Exhibition, Illusion of Permanence Artist Shin Ki Woun has developed a multidisciplinary practice encompassing video, installation, and performance, grounded in a background in sculpture and philosophy. His work is distinguished by its exploration of time and materiality as tools for dismantling structures of authority, symbolism, and memory, inviting viewers into a sensorial and reflective mode of thought. Based between Seoul and Daegu, Shin presents his first solo exhibition in the United States with Illusion of Permanence in New York. Gallery Chang New York opened Shin Ki Woun’s solo exhibition Illusion of Permanence on August 7. The exhibition brings together, for the first time in New York, a range of works—from Shin’s representative projects examining the erosion of time, matter, and power, to his latest works documenting the demolished interior of a former Chase Bank branch in Middletown, USA. The exhibition title, Illusion of Permanence , exposes the fiction and instability inherent in the concept of “permanence.” Over extended durations, Shin Ki Woun wears down materials or dismantles symbolic objects to reveal how emblems of authority and institutional power—things often believed to endure indefinitely, such as coins, clocks, chess pieces, and even the remnants of a demolished bank—can in fact be easily disintegrated and erased. On view are video works capturing the slow abrasion of a coin’s surface, installation works documenting the gradual erosion of metal sculptures, and experimental video pieces that physically and visually overturn the notion of “endurance” and continuity. Shin Ki Woun describes his practice in his artist’s note: “I use time as a tool to scrape the surface of power, reducing it to dust. Permanence is not a reality, but a structure of belief. By slowly wearing down symbolic objects—portraits of those in power, currency, and chess pieces that signify hierarchy and force—I reveal how easily they can disappear. This process is not merely destruction, but a ritualistic act that asks viewers to consider both the durability and fragility of belief itself. By juxtaposing the speed at which images vanish in the digital age with the illusion of material permanence attached to authority, I contemplate new forms of memory.”— Shin Ki Woun Shin Ki Woun’s solo exhibition Illusion of Permanence runs through August 12 (local time) at Gallery Chang New York. Founded in New York in 2019, Gallery Chang is a contemporary art gallery dedicated to presenting internationally influential artists while engaging with their artistic trajectories from a long-term perspective. In 2023, the gallery established its flagship space on West 55th Street in Manhattan, strategically located near major cultural institutions such as MoMA, Carnegie Hall, and New York City Center. Since then, Gallery Chang has expanded to additional spaces in Midtown New York (C2), Englewood, New Jersey (C3), and Seoul (C4), and now operates across four cities with active curatorial programs and community-based projects. www.ikoreanspirit.com 미국 뉴욕에서 선보이는 신기운 작가 작품, 개인전 《Illusion of Permanence(영속성의 환영)》 신기운 작가는 조각과 철학을 배경으로 영상, 설치, 퍼포먼스를 아우르는 다매체 작업을 전개해 왔다. 그의 작업은 ‘시간’과 ‘물질’을 통해 권위와 상징, 기억의 구조를 해체하고, 감각적으로 사유하게 하는 것이 특징. 서울과 대구를 오가며 활동하던 신기운 작가가 이번에 눈을 외국으로 돌려 미국에서 첫 개인전을 연다.갤러리 장 뉴욕(Gallery CHANG, New York)은 신기운 작가 개인전 《Illusion of Permanence(영속성의 환영)》를 8월 7일 개막했다.작가는 이번 전시에 대표적인 작업인 시간, 물질, 권력의 < >

< Back Emotion in Transition Jul 14, 2022 Emotion in Transition Koo Na Hyun's public art project, "Echoes of Expectation: Emotions in Transition," transforms the pre-construction stage of the former CHASE building in Middletown, New York, into a canvas of emotional exploration and imaginative expression. This project delves into the rich tapestry of feelings that inhabit spaces once filled with the hum of everyday transactions and the weight of financial decisions. As the building awaits its next chapter, Koo Na Hyun’s performance drawing brings to life the myriad emotions associated with a bank—anticipation, anxiety, and the subtle tremors of human experience that have passed through its walls. The artist’s vision captures these emotions, infusing them with creative interpretation and abstract representation. The performance drawing unfolds across the building’s inner walls, creating a dynamic interplay between the space and the artist’s brush. This temporary installation draws upon the intangible sensations experienced by individuals in the bank’s former setting, expressing them through evocative imagery and expressive lines. Each stroke and mark conveys the anticipation of waiting, the concern of decision-making, and the excitement of possibilities. "Echoes of Expectation: Emotions in Transition" invites viewers to reflect on the emotional landscape of a place that has served as a crucible of human interaction and financial activity. As Koo Na Hyun’s drawings breathe new life into the building’s interior, they also offer a meditation on how spaces are imbued with the collective emotional experiences of their occupants. The exhibition not only highlights the artist’s ability to translate abstract emotions into visual art but also engages the audience in a dialogue about the spaces we inhabit and the feelings they evoke. As the former CHASE building transitions to its next purpose, this project serves as a poignant reminder of the emotional echoes left behind and the imaginative potential of reinterpreting these remnants. Join us in experiencing "Echoes of Expectation: Emotions in Transition," where the walls of an awaiting space become a canvas for exploring and celebrating the myriad emotions that once animated this significant location.

former USSR, 1948 Artist Biography Works Next Yuri Gorbachev former USSR, 1948 BIOGRAPHY Yuri Gorbachev is a celebrated Russian-American artist renowned for his vibrant, richly detailed works that blend traditional Russian iconography with contemporary expression. Born in 1948 in Uglovka, Russia, Gorbachev’s early exposure to Russian folklore, Orthodox religious art, and the rich cultural heritage of his homeland deeply influenced his artistic vision. His formal training at the prestigious Vera Mukhina Academy of Applied Arts in St. Petersburg laid the foundation for his distinctive style. Gorbachev’s work is characterized by bold, luminous colors, intricate patterns, and symbolic imagery. He often incorporates elements of Russian history, mythology, and spirituality into his paintings, which are adorned with gold leaf, bronze, and other metallic accents. This combination of traditional techniques with modern abstraction creates a unique visual language that is both timeless and innovative. Over the course of his career, Gorbachev has become a globally recognized figure in the art world. His works have been exhibited in prestigious museums and galleries, including The Louvre in Paris, the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, and the United Nations headquarters in New York. His paintings are part of significant collections, including the Vatican Museum, the Kremlin Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art in Moscow. A pivotal moment in Gorbachev’s career came when he moved to the United States in 1991. This transition marked a new phase in his artistic journey, allowing him to merge Russian cultural motifs with the dynamic energy of Western modernism. His works have since been showcased in over 200 solo exhibitions worldwide, spanning countries such as the United States, France, Japan, and Brazil. Beyond painting, Gorbachev is also an accomplished ceramicist, creating works that reflect his signature style. His artistic contributions have been recognized with numerous accolades, and he has been featured in major publications and art books celebrating his vibrant and symbolic body of work. Currently living and working in New York City, Yuri Gorbachev continues to create art that bridges cultural and temporal boundaries. His work invites viewers to explore the rich tapestry of Russian heritage through a contemporary lens, offering a timeless celebration of history, spirituality, and artistic innovation.

May 1 - June 2, 2026 Intro Catalog Installation Views Next [C4] Seoul Raw Signal May 1 - June 2, 2026 Choi Woolga INTRO Choi Woolga does not follow rules. Or perhaps he knows them and chooses to ignore them. When humanity first placed a hand on a wall, there was no reason and no order. There was only the impulse of being alive. Choi Woolga’s canvas becomes that wall. Wandering through the streets of Paris and absorbing the noise of Brooklyn, he has burned away what civilization has taught him. What remains line, eye, symbol, color is rebuilt without a fixed system. Is this the scribble of a child or the mural of a shaman. A language that resists decoding yet is fully conveyed. A sensation that cannot be explained yet strikes with precision. There is a grammar in the wild. We have simply forgotten it. CATALOG View Catalog here INSTALLATION VIEWS

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.

The themes of time, reality, and light go beyond their visual representations, prompting a deeper reflection on how we experience and interpret the world. Time: Shane Guffogg Shane Guffogg asks, "How can I condense time and space into a single moment?" His works transcend the linear flow of time and space, merging them into a unified moment of infinite potential. Through layered abstraction and a complex interplay of colors and forms, Guffogg invites viewers to experience the simultaneity of eternity within a fleeting instant. His art challenges us to reconsider time not as a rigid construct but as a fluid and expansive dimension. Reality: Kim Kang Yong Kim Kang Yong poses the question, "Is what I see truly real?" Through his brick artworks, he examines the fundamental nature of perception, exploring the tension between visual illusion and physical reality. The bricks, which appear both tangible and ethereal, disrupt our assumptions about the material world. His work compels us to confront the subjectivity of our experiences, questioning the line between what we perceive and what truly exists. Light: Kim Sea Joong Kim Sea Joong inquires, "How can light be embodied on a flat surface?" This exploration extends into space and semi-relief works, where light becomes more than a visual element—it becomes a medium that defines and reshapes spatial experience. Through his innovative approach, Kim Se Joong blurs the boundaries between two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms, offering a transcendent interplay of light and shadow that invites viewers to reconsider the role of light in shaping perception. "The Essence of Perception" is perfectly aligned with the reflective and hopeful spirit of the holiday and New Year season. As the year comes to an end and a new one begins, this exhibition invites visitors to pause and reflect on timeless questions about how we perceive and interpret the world. It is an opportunity to connect with the universal themes of time, reality, and light, while embracing the transformative power of art to reimagine what we see and believe. Through this exhibition, we invite you on a philosophical journey where each work offers not answers but questions—an invitation to engage, reflect, and imagine new possibilities. "The Essence of Perception" reminds us of art’s unique ability to expand our horizons, challenge our assumptions, and illuminate the familiar in extraordinary ways.
