At Cheongju Art Studio, Lim Yunmook’s The Figure in the Carpet and Hwang Ail’s Fractus Fractal will be held from August 1 to August 13, as the first installment of the ‘CJAS 17th ARTIST RELAY EXHIBITION’. In the ‘CJAS 17th ARTIST RELAY EXHIBITION’, 14 artists will unveil their works during their residency at the studio from August 1 to December 24.
Lim Yunmook’s The Figure in the Carpet gives a glimpse into the artist’s struggles in the process of work. Lim has been exploring the point at which everyday materials meet or collide with the inner world in his paintings. In this exhibition, the artist connects a story about a rug he read in a column to the way of life. Just as weaver who creates the pattern of a rug weaves the rug without any purpose, life is also naturally completed by a collection of individual events with no purpose. In Fractus Fractal, Hwang Ail focuses on the relationship between order and disorder, whole and part, visible and reality. The artist makes his works resonate with the space, and in this exhibition, he especially utilizes the venue of Cheongju Art Studio. By creating an installation using glass and latexcolor as the main materials, Hwang provides new pathways for things that have been stuck in our perceptions.
The ‘CJAS 17th ARTIST RELAY EXHIBITION’, which was initiated by Lim Yunmook and Hwang Ail, takes us a step closer to artists’ themes and concerns.
