I will be holding a solo exhibition at Whitestone Gallery Seoul from August 31st to October 13th, 2024.
I have been examining the new visual value of decoration from the perspective of decorative culture in the context of society and history.
In this exhibition, I have considered the impulse that decoration embodies, the pressure it exerts on the visual sense, and the essence hidden behind the beauty of decoration. Under the theme of "Decor is a painless domination," I will exhibit a group of works that consider the quiet and gentle violence behind the glittering of decoration.
I originally started my career in fashion and commercial design.
What I have felt in the world of commercial design and mass media is that certain images are constantly injected into the consumer consciousness through repetition and quantity.
As a result, we unconsciously form a shared stereotype image. Through this exhibition, I explore the power of decoration and how it affects our perception.
The decorations are beautiful yet eerie, and have the power to quietly but surely control our consciousness. One could even call it "control without pain."
The venue is divided into three floors, and we are also trying our hand at new series and installations.
Please come and take a look. We look forward to seeing you there.
