Yoon.Artist Hyangro Yoon is holding her solo
exhibition “Mirae” at Mirae Building until December 29.
The solo exhibition “Mirae” explores
experiences of failure, slipping, and falling short, likening them to the
non-linear flow of time through expansive, site-specific painting
installations. The artist erases situations through traces and then reveals them
again, creating paintings that portray tangled timelines and an unrealized
future.

Yoon.These works, painted with an airbrush, are installed in harmony with the architectural characteristics of the exhibition space, a repurposed building originally constructed in the 1960s. Visitors can freely observe the large-scale painting Mirae: Map for Sky and Roots (2024), which resembles a night sky and covers the low, slanted ceiling of the building, from any position using beanbag chairs provided in the gallery.
