Ziwon Wang, who creates a cyborg-shaped body transformed from Buddhist icon, has the solo exhibition at Keumsan Gallery. In this exhibition, 16 art works including a new one, a human body in a mobile which gives a feeling of mechanized 'movement', are on display. Reflecting a new trend, the convergence of science and arts, Ziwon Wang receives high praise internationally.

Creating new work after modeling and calculating by a computer shows future-oriented contemporary art. There is continuous discussion for a place of arts between analogue and digital era required. Tools of art have been developing along with history so that computer technology is treated as one of genre to the young artists. Because Ziwon Wang also has both analogue and digital senses, his work shows essential desire and incompleteness of human in perfectly designed machine work.

In this exhibition, the artist makes the audience think of a human body and its imperfectness through moves of the mechanized body. In a hidden side of perfect moderation, lots of imbalance and chaos exist and directly-opposed ideas, such as life and death or pleasure and pain, are balanced. Whole works displayed in the exhibition reveal such opinion. The mechanized body in balance shows performance, making a balance after it forced by motor or winds. As borrowing the imperfect human body to the perfect machine, the artist can more concentrate on finding an idea. The exhibition will provide a chance to consider an aesthetic meaning from the machine and movement and look at the body and spirit from another consciousness world.
