Whistle presents a solo exhibition “Inaudible Garden” by Ram Han, on view through January 4, 2025. Ram Han, who primarily works with digital painting, presents her experiments with painterly techniques in digital media in this solo exhibition.

Initially active as an illustrator, Ram Han began making her mark on the Korean art scene in 2017. Using Photoshop and a tablet PC, she has explored the fantasies embedded in old pop/subcultures and media. Alongside this interest, her work has delved into the ambiguous boundaries between memory, dreams, reality, and the virtual world, utilizing digital painting as her medium.

In this exhibition, Ram Han focuses on plants and women, recurring themes in her work, to express her unique perspective on the vitality and essence of nature that cannot be fully realized within the digital virtual world.

Her latest works also introduce new approaches, such as zoomed-in and framed abstract forms and patterns, signaling a fresh direction in her artistic practice.

Ram Han (b. 1989) studied Animation at Korea National University of Arts and held her first solo exhibition Nightcap at YOUR MANA in 2017. Her work has been shown in group exhibitions notably at SeMA, Buk-Seoul Museum of Art, Busan Biennale, D Museum, Audio Visual Pavilion, Culture Station Seoul 284, and Whistle, while she is a frequent collaborator with a variety of fashion brands and companies including Apple, Big Hit Entertainment and SM Entertainment.
