GROUP EXHIBITION

The upcoming exhibition Tangled to convey different stories of the world from each individual artist – how they navigate in a complex network that is tied and nuanced to their own experiences. In this exhibition, audiences can see various works by artists from Hungary, the United States, Korea, the Netherlands, and Scotland. This exhibition will be the first time that works by Pécs Workshop which developed the Neo Avant-Garde movement, Else Fischer-Hansen, and Gabriel Madan will be introduced to Korea.

Civilisation, and industrialisation has altered the connection between humans, animals, and nature which led to the emergence of different issues. Artists in the past have approached the subject with dualism of mind and body as well as our historical memories attached to our lives. Constantly floating and entangled relationships is the keyword of this exhibition. The nine participating artists have visualised their response through their unique sensitivities.

Our life is an extension of entangled relationships – a perpetual affair with the nuanced compartments within the structure of this world. We conceptualise the meaning of the world in multiple ways depending on how we engage with objects, other outside of ourselves. For this inaugural exhibition, Baik Art Seoul is presenting an opportunity to encounter the entangled relationships of this world from slightly different perspectives and approaches.

Elliot Hundley’s automatic drawing unravels relationships between the self (I) and the subconscious self. Byung Ok Min deals with the form (frame) of art in relation to the experimental mind through collage technique – to divide canvas screens, expand and recombine. Lies Kraal visualises a range of emotions from the state of being conscious and unconscious through a meditative process to understand her environment. Else Fischer-Hansen abstracts psychological images based on natural scenery and music.

From the perspective of an artist observing the public, Andreas Emenius explores the narrative of ‘being’ that cannot be fully expressed through language within the abstract strokes of the body. Peyton Freiman explore narratives about the relationship with people in his memory. In a single screen, Gabriel Madan addresses dualism through combining both printmaking and painting excavating the relationship between nature and animal.

At last, Ferenc Lantos, Károly Halász, and Sándor Pinczehelyi in the Pécs Workshop will participate. The Pécs Workshop focuses on internal relationships with a goal of attaining unity in architecture and fine art, leaving many experimental geometric abstract paintings using industrial paints such as enamel. The Pécs Workshop has led the Neo Avant-Garde movement in Hungary in the 1960s.
