Press Release

Whitestone Gallery Seoul presents Where Winter Meets Our Glow, on view from December 13, 2025 to January 18, 2026. Featuring Oh Hyuckjin, Sunny Kim, and Kim Jak’young, the exhibition explores how memories leave emotional and sensory traces, expressed through painting, installation, and video work.

The exhibition begins with a single sentence on “memory,” written by 37 creators from various artistic fields. Rooted in personal experience, these texts carry distinct times and emotions, which the three artists reinterpret through their own mediums. As these memories shift from individual stories to shared visual experiences, they reveal how the past continues to shape the present.

Oh Hyuckjin translates brief written recollections into paintings. Using gel stone and oil pastel, he creates textured surfaces softened by muted colors, allowing emotions that cannot be spoken to emerge through color and gesture.

Sunny Kim examines how memory accumulates and transforms through the physical behavior of light. Through transmission, reflection, and afterimages, she visualizes moments when traces of time and emotion surface within space. Her layered paper installation captures suspended light and time, offering a quiet, immersive encounter with fading and returning illumination.

Kim Jak’young, known for her music video direction, presents a nonlinear approach to time. By layering video through LED screens and projection, she weaves together moments that surface unexpectedly—like a fleeting scene, a scent-triggered emotion, or a dream—revealing how memories interrupt and reshape the present.

The exhibition includes a scent collaboration with UNVANISH, guiding visitors through a multisensory experience where visual impressions and fragrances echo one another. Where Winter Meets Our Glow presents memory not as something that disappears, but as an enduring presence that remains, overlaps, and connects our lives.
