With the very first exhibition of 2023 the teardrop running down your cheek is mine, SPACE SO introduces young contemporary painters who have been building the foundation of their work. The exhibition will be held from February 23rd to March 31st.
In their own way, Dajeong Kim, Kim Hyewon, Bang Soyun, and Jeong Juwon, the 4 artists slice some pieces of skin of the world close at hand and utilize them as the source of work. This creates a sense of a quasi-critical point on the canvas that is both real and surreal. There are also errors and losses that come from the gap between where their work actually stands and the pinnacle, whether intended or unintended. The exhibition addresses the moment when their 'mimetic worlds', developed within the genre of painting, are transmitted to be synchronized with the viewer's sight. It also explores the various experimentation, and fulfillment of the painterly practice of the artists that takes place before the painting.
