Shadow from the Empty
by Leeahn Gallery
Location: Leeahn Gallery
Artist(s): OH Yong Seok, CHA Hye Lim
Date: 3 Aug - 24 Aug 2011

Breaking the boundary between the art and daily life, and division between the existence and imagination being ambiguous have been important motives of creation of many artists for a long time. Digital culture rapidly expanding and various mixed cultural forms being shown in it have been the motive power that makes creative work of art of today have tendency mixing diverse media much. Shadow from the Empty which the two artists; Cha Hye-Lim and Oh YongSeok participate in a show mixed image, and multiple layer story and the landscape made idealized and compressed.

Frame of painting, characters and space of daily life and various layer stories made by the artists in it go through the combination of visual/linguistic image and form new interspace within the space where the work is installed. The artist, Cha Hye-Lim constitutes diverse images and objects floating on the Internet whose connection are difficult to find with the peculiar method like combining them with a play script which rarely has plot, and experimenting the possibility of re-creation of meaning and interpretation of new communication in her work. The artist who is applying cracks on the reality by reverse using of form and content, time and space intervenes among new space, time and story which are latent in between the cracks and shows visual wits and intellectual amusement. One objet or word suggested causes the displacement of thought continuously in the work and the independent meanings of the artist come to experience new interconnectivity and interactivity within the assembled narrative. The course and form of communication of the artist, Cha Hye-Lim through combination of language and image tell us the story of continuous work of links like well-trained hypertext user and the mixture accumulated one upon another.

The artist, Oh Yong-Seok is making his own only ‘drama’ of time and space delicately organized following the process where the image obtained in old movies and the scene of reality intervened in by the artist collide and mingle with each other on one picture. The artist who is making complicated mesh of continuously changing image combination by inviting various media such as collected daily life images, scenes of movie or musical elements is hiding the appearance of reality and the moment within the taxidermy time and space and is focusing on the pure gainliness of diverse images and the variations. The video of Oh Yong-Seok which is constituting new space by inserting the scenes of old movies or by combining the images which the artist collected in person and the photos or video of the space similar to the scene or which is making one landscape after dividing one space really existing into the multi-views by re-organizing is to show that the place where we live is diorama like artificial assembly structure namely one huge virtual space, virtual reality through the combination of the movies and real situations. The video of the artist which first focuses on one image based on a story creates for us combined landscape and time making way for reality on a screen.

The works of two artists which treat combination and transformation of many images of diverse origin and intervention in the reality and circulation of birth of new Hommage will meet the spectators with the method different from each other such as installation, painting and video. With the works of two artists which entirely accept the method of communication of today whose meanings are changing following the context and customary knowledge of the viewers and attempt new expression form, together with the abstract symbol and mark of reappearance, the artists are to make the themselves the creators and at the same time the spectators.
