MODESTY (虛心) 


Solo Exhibition of "Soonja Kang"
                
            

    Date : February 26 - March 04, 2015
   Opening Reception: February 26, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm

          The Korean word “Huh-Shim(허심-虛 心)” is translated as modesty in English, though it is more associated with 
          an attitude of behavior, manner or appearance intended to avoid impropriety in English word. Soonja Kang’s 
          usage Huh-Shim, in which she uses as a title in all of her paintings, differs in a sense that it has more to do with 
          a state of being in emptying out your mind. Kang attempts to portray an aesthetic centered on the acceptance of
          transience and the fine balance between imperfection and perfection.  In Buddhism or Taoism tradition, emptiness
          points to an inner realization or state of mind characterized by simplicity, quietude, patience, frugality and restraint. 
          It is an emotional or psychological stance associated with the lack of worldly desire, and includes also the actions
          arising out of this state of mind. Soonja Kang has delved into the extraordinary world of her own spirituality and 
         she hopes the viewers can have glimpse of the Huh-Shim.

Harmony 


Solo Exhibition of "Choongmi Jung"
                
            

    Date : March 12 - April 01, 2015
   Opening Reception: March 12, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm

Chelsea, New York        


           Choongmi Jung utilizes an ancient and revered medium and brings to it her contemporary vision. Jung creates
           works that embrace the medium of ceramics, while at the same time transcending it.  Korean art has a long and
           special history with ceramics. During the nearly five hundred years of the Goryeo Dynasty (918–1392), Korean
           celadon (Cheong-ja) reached the apex of elegance and form. Their quiet gray-green hues and graceful lines  
           had a profound impact on the aesthetic development and the tastes of the culture.  To this day, ceramics hold a
           special place in the arts of Korea.  

          Her work reflects a deep commitment to the form, but at the same time, she is not afraid to break the rules, blazing 
          a new path, reviving the form, and keeping it relevant for a new century. Some of Jung's twisted abstractions are
          achieved after she throws a perfect pot or vase on the wheel, then lifts it, and while the clay is still wet, drops it on 
          the floor. The misshapen abstract form that results is then glazed and fired in the same way it would have been 
          if the shape of the pot remained intact.  Jung lets the new piece retain hints of its past, while expressing a new 
          idea through a novel and arresting visual form.

Marsha Solomon


From Rhythm To Form
                
            

    Date : March 12 - April 01, 2015
   Opening Reception: March 12, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm

Chelsea, New York        

      In her series, "From Rhythm to Form," Marsha Solomon creates lyrical abstractions in which she infuses 
      her canvases with color and texture, but also with a sense of harmony and repose. Solomon’s large, 
      color-field abstractions are inspired by the early abstract expressionists. Her work has been likened to 
      Helen Frankenthaler’s while also displaying echoes of the bold brushwork of Motherwell and the saturated 
      tonality of Morris Louis. Yet, Solomon, while gently referencing that era, uses her own intense colors and 
      signature brushwork to present a fresh, innovative vision and bold statements about the fundamental forms 
      of art—color and line, composition and space.
   

      Solomon's approach to painting is unique. She often treats her canvases as though they were paper and 
      her paper as though it were canvas. She applies paint to raw canvas allowing it to infuse the fibers like 
      watercolor would, and she adds boldly drawn lines on her paintings. In contrast, Solomon's watercolors 
      and acrylics on paper show the same bravura in the way she works the pigments as do her paintings. 
      Each possesses the artist's distinctive strength and flexibility. She communicates through color, and 
      all it can evoke, and line, with all the strength and subtlety it can express. Solomon's paintings capture 
      the poetry of the soul and invite meditation and reflection.

He-story


Solo Exhibition of "Yongil Park"
                
            

    Date : April 9 - April 29, 2015
   Opening Reception: April 9, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm

Chelsea, New York   

  

           Park was inspired by watching the wrapping and unwrapping of belongings and of people moving in and out. 
           Through these landscape series, Park has implied that people have lost their place regardless of their willingness 
           to move. In these series of pictures painted on the surfaces of cloth, the portrayed landscapes of life are distorted 
           depending on how the cloth is wrapped or unwrapped. Perhaps it is inevitable that a picture painted on the form 
           of the bundle looks distorted. Yet viewers’ minds are caught in the distorted picture. Is this because it testifies to 
           our own distorted lives, just as does those unrestricted sites of redevelopment? 


           Park employs the term history as He’s story, or a story told by him. Here, He indicates he and she, Park himself, 
           and us all at the same time. Perhaps all of us are descendants of nomads who traveled constantly. His painting 
           finds its suggestive power in the fact that its subject matters originated from real life and its surroundings. And at 
           the same time, Park does not indulge his ego, instead allowing it to expand into a realm of commonality in which 
           we all empathize.

My Father's House


Solo Exhibition of "Soonmin Choi"
                
            

    Date : April 30 - May 20, 2015
   Opening Reception: April 30, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm

Chelsea, New York   

 

           Choi is a Korean born artist working in mixed media on canvas. She paints her father’s house repeatedly, 
           in which she considers as her ‘Museum of Memories filled with gratitude and peace.’ In her poetic transference, 
           it is possible that a picture will move far away from nature and yet find its way back to reality. The faculty of memory, 
           experience at a distance produces pictorial associations.

           Soonmin Choi graduated from Dongduk Women’s University in Seoul, Korea in the department of Painting, and
           exhibited in Sinpung Art Museum, Seoul Arts Center, and many other venues. She has participated in numerous 
           art fairs including Daegu Art Fair, Art Expo Malaysia, BAMA, and AAF Singapore.

           Jung-woo Ha is a gifted South Korean actor and film director. Influenced by his dad’s art collection early on, 
           initially Ha began his painting as a hobby. To this date however, his artworks have been featured in galleries and 
           art fairs in Seoul, Singapore, Hong Kong, LA and New York including sold out solo shows. Constantly playing
           someone else as an actor, the residue of intense emotion requires an outlet; His paintings are served as a means 
           of outlet and meditation for Ha. His painting style is mostly a hybrid of Pop art and Expressionism, similar to graffiti
           artists of the 80s, inspired by various artists.

Affectionate Things

Solo Exhibition of Dongyoon Park
                
            

   Date : June 11 - July 8, 2015
Opening Reception: June 18, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm

Chelsea, New York   


         Dongyoon Park creates paintings that cannot be described simply as pictures. They are sculptural as well. 
         They cannot be described as simply contemporary, as they are referencing and embracing ancient traditions and
         forms, as well.  They cannot be described as solely conceptual, as they embody the artist's philosophy and emotional
         response to his world as well.

         All the pieces from the same body of work share the same title – Affectionate Things. The artist describes his
         approach as his attempt to express the traditional beauty and sensibility of the Korean aesthetic. Park utilizes Korea's
         revered Hanji paper to construct bas-relief collage compositions that are once modern, and at the same time touching
         Korea's five thousand year cultural history.  His deep affection for the world around him and the world that came
         before him comes through in his choice of shapes, colors and material.

NEXUS

New Work by Jeon Nak
                
            

   Date : July 9 - September 15, 2015
Opening Reception: July 9, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm

Chelsea, New York   


         For Nexus, Jeon Nak has created a series of exciting lenticular prints that draw the eye into an astonishing three 
         dimensional space.  His images contain a symphony of line and color backed with a tremendous illusion of space.  
         In fact, space, illusion and an imaginary sense of cosmic bodies and distances are central to Jeon Nak's work.

         His 3D trompe l'oeil creations achieve their arresting presence through a meticulous, exacting technical process.  
         Layer upon layer of composition must be placed and processed to arrive at the level of detail seen in these works.  
         Geometric forms are explored and taken to new levels.  Circles and lines balance between the picture plane and 
         somewhere deep behind it.

Chance of Choice


New Paintings by Moon LEE
                
            

    Date : September 17 - September 30, 2015
   Opening Reception: September 17, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm

Chelsea, New York   


          Volumes have been written about the intersection of Choice and Chance, and how the two determine so many
         outcomes, both in logic and in life.  Here, they result in a unique voice and vision as expressed by LEE in her
          commanding, suggestive, color-saturated multi-media paintings. 

          In a collection of images of vessels, that suggest of nourishment, abundance, and even welcome, and masks, that
          hide and obscure, LEE's paintings speak of dichotomies, divergences and distances. Abstractions titled Rain Forest,
          Meditation, Diversity, Trouble, and Restrain express moods and thoughts only attainable through color and the force
          or gentility of gesture and line. LEE's resplendent colors, gaining power in their juxta-positioning, speak to a highly 
personal way of seeing and responding to the world, and leave the viewer with whispers of her imagery remaining 
in the mind's eye.

Fukushima


Paintings by Yoko Sakai
                
            

    Date : September 17 - September 30, 2015
   Opening Reception: September 17, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm

Chelsea, New York   


     Accomplished Japanese artist, Yoko Sakai has, for many years, focused on traces and aftermaths rather than 
      occurrences themselves, harvesting both memory and remains. For this group of works, she traveled to 
      Fukushima, where she had previously found and documented the effects on ocean life of the accident at 
     the Fukushima nuclear power plant precipitated by the catastrophic tsunami of 2011. Shells of animals whose 
     lives were polluted by radiation, yet which partially cleaned that radiation from the water were her subject.

     In monochromatic paintings, Sakai depicts stylized versions of a group of girls who remained in the vicinity of 
     the power plant, after a large part of the population relocated. She heard their stories and their concerns for
     their health, for their future, for their ability to bear children, for their own survival, and was moved to portray 
     these innocents. Yet, they are not completely innocent, Sakai, found. They are still girls, filled with mischievous 
spirits. And so, she paints them as tender and young, but with pointed ears to depict the hint of devilishness 
she perceived.
