Gallery Baton will be presenting the group show of young painters, Young Il Kim, Taek Wan Oh and Byoung Jin Woo. The exhibition aims to shed light on young artists who constantly pursue own technique strictly in the free but gloomy phenomenon of global art beyond genre.

'Forgetting' series by Young Il Kim starts from subjective observation for universal lifestyle of modern city people. Main subject matter, mannequin represents 'ideal reproduction' of our appearance, unconsciously affected by media and corporate giants, and new products on display with distorted model of a man are imprinted as a symbol of desirable city people.

Taek Wan Oh focuses on controlled improvisation in abstract art. Symmetrical sides and lines, and colored structures are arranged with special rhythmical sense and a good flat hold as dividing or merging scene and image. Through new series, it will be a chance to his research to combine a learning process of automatism and abstraction.

Byoung Jin Woo concentrates on relationships with others during his life. 'Red Space' (2011) describes sprawled pigs with an abundant sense of volume and as removing pigs' eyes, a point of each value focuses on providing for people metaphorically. A red color covering a whole scene is a metaphor of slaughtered pigs at the butcher's.
