Arario Gallery Cheonan is pleased to present The Road is Long, the 8th solo exhibition by CI KIM, on September 1st, 2015.

During the 2 years of preparing for this exhibition since his last solo exhibition in 2013, KIM delve into the exploration of elements of architectural material such as cement, concrete, earth and wood.

Works on display focus on the natural transformation of material exposed to elements of nature like water, air and sunshine.

This exhibition also sheds light not on the concept of ‘making something’ but on observing matter, and ultimately the artist himself who develops and changes throughout a long period of time.

This signifies a sense of temporality in which the different points of beginning and end connect to become one road.
