ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL presents HWANG Sueyon's (b. 1981) solo exhibition Magma from 29 February to 20 April 2024. This exhibition presents new works consisting of 3 sculptures and 10 2-dimensional sculptures. HWANG's works are a reinterpretation of the physical performances related to social media short-form content, utilising one-minute videos that captivate the public by transforming everyday subjects—like the intricate fabrication processes of consumer goods or the tranquil daily existence of wildlife—into visually engaging narratives. HWANG undertakes a meticulous process of recreating images from these videos into tangible sculptures. In the actual process of creation, images are reinterpreted through her physical prowess and the tangible constraints of the real world. The exhibition highlights HWANG's exploration of varied expressions and techniques, building on the themes of her previous works deeply ingrained with a fascination for the substance of materials and the performative nature of sculptural acts.********
