“The Phrases of Colors” Installation view at Project Space SARUBIA ©Project Space SARUBIAWongeun PARK and Seok Ho KANG’s two-person exhibition The Phrases of Colors will be on view at Project Space SARUBIA from September 20 to October 15.
The exhibition is part of SARUBIA’s program ‘Studio Project 3’. The project selects emerging artists and helps them to expand their practice by meeting with senior artists, and then presents them in a two-person exhibition. In this exhibition, emerging artist Wongeun PARK meets senior artist Seok Ho KANG.
While both artists focus on the act of seeing, they develop different compositional experiments in exploring the relationship between the world, artists, and painting. Park understands painting as a way of looking at the world and at oneself, and through his paintings he tries to connect the visible world with the world beyond, as well as the different times of the past, present, and future. Seok Ho KANG starts with what he sees, but in the process, he adds conceptual thoughts on the medium of painting. Therefore, he interrogates the act of drawing, the gaze of looking, and explores them on the canvas itself, paying attention to colors, forms, and textures on the canvas. Among the works by Kang on display, there are works selected by Wongeun PARK because he felt they were connected to his own work.
Their works are displayed in close relationship within the exhibition space, considering the space between the walls and the viewer’s movement.
