Lee Chounhwan, Hong Soun, Hong Seongjoon, Phee Jungwon
Featuring four cross-generational Korean Artists- Lee Chounhwan, Hong Soun, Hong Seongjoon, and Phee Jungwon- the show delves into the core relationship between the artists’ subject of investigation, and how its presence influences, determines, and transforms the practice of pictorial and sculptural rendering.
Historically, in Korean art, the role of gesture and method has held significant importance in artistic practice, becoming indexical of the wider motifs that inform the making of art itself, blending them in that specific moment in which the brush touches the canvas, or the hands mold or assemble the sculpture. This processual element becomes the focal point of investigation for the understanding of the four artists presented, all developing a specific style profoundly iterative in its conversation with the semantic field it expresses.
Deriving from Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic investigation of the artwork and its ability to convey at once the real, the symbolic, and the imaginary realms, this exhibition aims to portray how the gestural process, serving as a door to such fields of inquiry, has enabled the artists to manifest their complex cosmologies into various degrees of abstraction, alteration, sublimation, accumulation, and synthesis.
