Koesy
KOESY is an artist born in Ulsan, South Korea. Without having received formal art education, KOESY has developed a distinct sculptural language through intuition and a long process of trial and accumulation over time.
In the early stages of their practice, KOESY worked primarily with 3D graphics in the digital realm. Gradually, however, a strong desire emerged to physically touch the forms that existed beyond the screen. To affirm their existence, visual perception alone was no longer sufficient; the artist came to feel the necessity of bodily sensations such as weight and texture. This natural progression led KOESY’s practice from virtual space toward the creation of physical sculptural works.
KOESY deliberately avoids assigning fixed meanings or narratives to their works. Their approach to making is akin to a walk without a predetermined destination. By focusing solely on the act of making itself and on the forms that remain as its outcome, KOESY emphasizes the process through which thoughts and sensations settle into tangible shapes.
The title of this exhibition, Red Winter, derives from a personal sense of time in which, despite the external world being in summer, the artist felt as though they were internally residing in a perpetual winter. Detached from the seasons, this lingering coldness deep within the body is an attempt to be grasped and rendered into form.
