ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL is pleased to present LIM Subeom’s (b. 1997) solo exhibition, Last Night’s Golden Dragon Mirage, from July 1 to August 15, 2026. As LIM’s inaugural solo exhibition at ARARIO GALLERY, the show features 62 paintings and ceramic works that delve into unknown realms unshaped by human language or perception, along with the unnamed entities that inhabit them. Driven by a profound curiosity about the origins of nature and matter, LIM has continuously explored liminal beings that cannot be fully defined by human cognition, imagining the consciousness of all things that might have existed before humanity. Viewing the world as a massive, organic network, he summons these undefined entities into pictorial and physical spaces, establishing a unique visual language that dismantles the hierarchy between the center and the periphery.












ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL opened its doors in Sogyeok-dong in 2006. Since then, it has established its foothold as a leading contemporary art gallery in Korea and across Asia, continuing to be at the forefront of the international art scene through its efficient representation system and bold exhibitions. In March 2014, ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL relocated near the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. In April 2018, ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL RYSE HOTEL, a second exhibition space in Seoul, opened in the Hongdae area. Running concurrently with its primary location until November 2019, the project space aimed to mirror the experimental spirit of the neighbourhood through its innovative programming. In 2022, ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL ended its Sogyeok-dong era. However, the various experimentation and ventures carried out in the gallery’s previous spaces continue to shape its future at its current location in Wonseo-dong, which reopened in February 2023. Through the preemptive discovery of young artists, steady support of represented artists, and the realisation of meaningful and original exhibitions, ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL aims to continually grow and contribute to the growth of the contemporary art scene in Korea.
