“Nesting” Installation view at ONSU GONG-GAN ©Aproject companyLim Heejae’s (b. 1993) solo exhibition Nesting will be on view at ONSU GONG-GAN from October 5 to 22.
Lim uses painting to capture images of nature that are transformed by frames and structures. The artist works with themes such as glass and stuffed animals in glass cases, creating a sense of speed and movement on a canvas.
In this exhibition, the artist presents works that actively experiment with glass and frames. The scenes of stuffed animals behind the glass are captured in the paintings, which are further transformed by the angle and amount of light reflecting off the cabinet.
The scenes in the paintings do not have clear figures, but rather a sense of dynamic movement based on bold brushstrokes. Also, the artist has also been experimenting with paintings that directly change the frame of the painting, such as installations that include paintings inside wooden cabinets.
