This
exhibition, designed to highlight Yeesookyung’s expansive artistic world that
encompasses sculpture, painting, and digital media, includes her sculptural
installations Translated Vase created from
fragments of broken ceramics, her recent large-scale paintings Oh
Rose!, and new media works exploring the symbolic meaning of the rose
motif appearing within her paintings. The presentation offers visitors an
opportunity to immerse themselves in Yeesookyung's broad creative spectrum,
unrestricted by specific genres.
In
particular, this exhibition marks the first unveiling in Korea of Nine
Dragons in Wonderland, a monumental work that was first shown at the
2017 Venice Biennale and serves as the conceptual basis for the exhibition
title. Visitors will have the rare opportunity to experience Yeesookyung’s work
across genres and scales. Through this multi-dimensional presentation, the
audience is invited into the artist’s mystical world, which continues to expand
into new realms of artistic imagination.
