May 8 - Jun 17, 2025 Intro Catalog Installation Views Next [C1] New York Urban Spectrum: Variations May 8 - Jun 17, 2025 Miguel Ángel Iglesias INTRO Urban Spectrum: Variations invites viewers into a contemplative realm where architecture and abstraction converge. For Miguel Angel Iglesias, the canvas is not simply a surface—it is a site of exploration where structure becomes sensation, and form becomes memory. Working with layered grids, subtle asymmetries, and architectural echoes, Iglesias crafts compositions that evoke both the geometry of the built environment and the fluidity of human perception. His work resists categorization: it neither fully represents nor entirely abstracts. Instead, it meditates on the in-between—on the quiet tension between the visible and the invisible, the controlled and the intuitive. This New York solo exhibition marks a poignant resonance. In a city where verticality and velocity dominate, Iglesias offers pause. His visual language mirrors urban life not through literal representation, but through rhythmic variations, interruptions, and restrained dissonance. The result is a series of works that feel less like depictions and more like encounters—reminding us that every city has its own metaphysical logic, shaped not only by space, but by presence, emotion, and time.

Back Gallery Chang New York Presents Shin Ki Woun Solo Exhibition〈Illusion of Permanence〉 Gallery Chang New York will present 〈 Illusion of Permanence 〉, a solo exhibition by Korean artist Shin Ki Woun, from August 7 to 12, 2025. This exhibition marks the artist’s first solo show in New York and introduces, for the first time in the city, both his established works exploring the dissolution of time, materiality, and power, as well as new works documenting the demolished interior of a former Chase Bank branch in Middletown, USA. The exhibition title 〈 Illusion of Permanence 〉 reveals the fiction and uncertainty embedded in the concept of “permanence.” Through processes of gradual erosion and the dismantling or disappearance of symbolic objects, Shin Ki Woun visually exposes how the symbols of authority and institutions—once believed to be everlasting—such as coins, clocks, chess pieces, and the remains of a demolished bank, can in fact be easily deconstructed and erased. The exhibition features video works capturing the slow abrasion of a coin’s surface, installation works documenting the gradual wear of metal sculptures, and experimental video pieces that physically and visually subvert the notion of “endurance” and continuity. Shin Ki Woun is a contemporary artist based in Seoul and Daegu. With a background in sculpture and philosophy, he works across video, installation, and performance. His practice deconstructs structures of authority, symbolism, and memory through explorations of time and materiality, encouraging sensory and reflective engagement. He has presented works at major institutions including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Seoul), ZKM | Center for Art and Media (Germany), and Le Centquatre-Paris. This exhibition marks his first solo exhibition in 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 journeys from a long-term perspective. Moving beyond one-off exhibitions, the gallery aims to bridge the gap between commercial galleries and museums by offering in-depth views of artists’ careers. In 2023, Gallery Chang 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, the gallery has expanded its presence to Midtown New York (C2), Englewood, New Jersey (C3), and Seoul (C4). Today, Gallery Chang operates across four cities, actively engaging in curatorial programs and community-based projects. Beyond solo exhibitions and institutional collaborations, Gallery Chang has positioned itself as an experimental platform that expands the possibilities of contemporary art through public art and interdisciplinary projects. artlamp.org 갤러리 장 뉴욕, 신기운 개인전 개최 〈Illusion of Permanence〉 : 전시 📅 2025.8.7(목) – 8.12(화)🏛️ 갤러리 창 뉴욕 (Gallery CHANG, New York)📍105 W 55th St, New York, NY 10019❓ info@artgallerychang.com / +1 917 472 7274갤러리 장 뉴욕(Gallery CHANG, New York)은 한국 작가 신기운의 개인전

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 “Mirror-Like Paintings”: Jimi Gleason’s First Solo Exhibition in Seoul A solo exhibition by contemporary artist Jimi Gleason, Illuminated Silence , is being held at Gallery Chang Seoul, located in the Oakwood Premier COEX Center, through June 28. Centered on the theme “silence painted with light,” this exhibition marks the final chapter of Gleason’s Coast to Coast touring project, which concludes in Seoul after presentations in New York and Los Angeles. Using metallic pigments and specialized materials, Gleason creates mirror-like paintings that shift according to the viewer’s movement and the angle of light. His works metaphorically express light that emerges from stillness, and the silence revealed by that light. Gallery Chang explained, “This exhibition, presented in Seoul for the first time, brings together both signature works and new pieces, proposing new possibilities for art at the intersection of the material and immaterial, the visual and the emotional.” By Han Seung-hee / SBS News news.sbs.co.kr '거울 같은 회화' 지미 글리슨 첫 서울 개인전 현대미술 작가 지미 글리슨 의 개인전 가 갤러리 장 서울, 오크우드 프리미어 코엑스 센터에서 오는 6월 28일까지 개최됩니다. < >

Apr 20 - May 24, 2025 Intro Catalog Installation Views Next [C4] Seoul Where Past and Future are Gathered Apr 20 - May 24, 2025 Shane Guffogg INTRO SHANE GUFFOGG: WHERE PAST AND FUTURE ARE GATHERED GALLERY CHANG, SOEUL, SOUTH KOREA Gallery Chang in Seoul, South Korea, presents Shane Guffogg: “Where Past and Future are Gathered” a solo exhibition featuring Guffogg’s Still Point paintings, a body of work deeply engaged with themes of time, transcendence, and the ephemeral nature of existence. While this marks the artist’s first exhibition in South Korea, the fundamental principles of his work—his balance of time, space, and form—are inherently aligned with the aesthetics of Korean art. Guffogg’s paintings serve as confessions of time, transforming unseen forces into tangible marks. His brushstrokes trace energies that mysteriously move into our world, capturing the presence in layers of light and movement. The viewer, as a receiver, is invited to witness these ephemeral forces through an immediate sensory (visual) experience. A key inspiration for Guffogg’s Still Point series is T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets – a meditation on time, impermanence, and spiritual awakening. Each painting draws its title from stanzas of this poem, where the passage of time is examined through the elements—air, earth, water, and fire. Guffogg’s work does not illustrate Eliot’s poetry but rather embodies a visual language akin to calligraphy, where color and movement become expressive gestures of form and emotion. Through thousands of layered brushstrokes, his compositions unfold like wordless poems. The exhibition’s largest painting, “At the Still Point of the Turning World – The Surface Glittered out of the Heart of Light”, echoes Eliot’s meditation on time as both linear and cyclical, a concept deeply rooted in Korean philosophy. Korean art embraces impermanence and the importance of the present moment. Guffogg’s paintings, with their shifting luminosity and depth, reflect this philosophical understanding, existing between presence and absence, solidity and fluidity, stillness and motion. Guffogg’s process is a meditation in itself—he paints daily, working 8 to 10 hours in solitude, surrounded by nature at his ranch. Written in charcoal on the walls of his studio are stanzas from the poem, which Guffogg internalizes over long periods of time, until colors are sensorially connected to the words. Then the title informs the painting. His paintings emerge as moments in time that are seemingly without time as they are visually moving while still, revealing traces of his meditations through color and form. Another significant piece, “At the Still Point of the Turning World – Into the Rose Garden”, is a multi-colored variation of reds, purples, and ribbons of white. The title references Eliot’s symbolic garden—a place of purity, transformation, and the passage of time. In Korean culture, gardens similarly serve as spaces of contemplation, where nature becomes both a teacher and a metaphor. Rather than depicting these themes directly, Guffogg creates an abstract experience where color, line, and movement evoke transformation. Guffogg’s technique involves no preliminary sketches, and no assistants—only the repetition of intuitive movement. Each painting is made up of thousands of brushstrokes of glazes mixed with oil paint, creating an extraordinary depth that appears to suspend time itself. This meticulous process aligns with his belief that each brushstroke is a summoning of memory, a mark that bears witness to the unseen forces of existence. His synesthesia, the ability to perceive color as sound, further deepens this interplay. His paintings become silent symphonies, their tonalities resonating internally with the viewer. Guffogg’s use of color is never jarring; instead, his complementary hues create a sense of balance, inviting introspection rather than demanding interpretation. His works do not depict existential crises—they pose questions, seeking revelations of beauty and the unknown. In Guffogg’s work, color is not merely pigment—it is a presence, vibrating beyond the visual into something sensorial, emotional, and spiritual. His mastery of light and shadow recalls the Old Masters, yet he reinterprets their techniques for the contemporary world. At a time of constant acceleration, Guffogg’s paintings offer a rare moment of pause—a space for contemplation and transcendence. His work is deeply connected to art history, influenced by Kandinsky, Monet, and Turner, yet distinctly his own. Though this marks Guffogg’s first exhibition in Korea, it is not an introduction but a reconnection. His paintings, infused with rhythm, light, and emotion, align with the artistic and philosophical traditions of Korean thought. They invite us to engage with the essence of life itself—a dance of being—a luminous stillness within the turning world. By. Victoria Chapman CATALOG View Catalog here INSTALLATION VIEWS
