Space K Seoul, established by KOLON Group, will present “BLISS POOL” a solo exhibition by Donna Huanca (b. 1980) from March 9 to June 8. The exhibition features more than 20 works in various media, including new works.
The exhibition is not limited to genres such as painting, sculpture, installation, and performance, and welcomes viewers with an immersive composition. The new works, which combine natural and artificial materials, stem from the artist’s interest in humans and nature. From the body and skin, the holistic production responds to the audience’s memories, senses, and emotions, leading to insights into society and nature.
In addition, Space K Seoul is curved inside and out, and the artist was inspired by the formality of architecture to organize the exhibition space. BLISS POOL, a 6.4-meter-high, 14.4-meter-long painting mounted on a large curved wall in the exhibition hall, was specially created for the wall.
Donna Huanca is a Bolivian-American female artist whose work is informed by the cultural differences between the two countries she experienced as a child and the emotions she saw and felt while experiencing local festivals in Bolivia. She is an artist who completely refutes the frailty of women traditionally represented in art history and puts forward a strong image, giving women a strong subjectivity in organizing exhibitions.
