Landscape Perceived
by Arario Seoul
Location: Arario Seoul (Cheong Dam)
Artist(s): GROUP SHOW
Date: 25 Jul - 18 Aug 2013

Arario Gallery Cheongdam presents the group exhibition of four artists, who bring landscapes of the world to their works in different ways. Under the expansive scope 'landscape', the exhibition includes art works of landscape perceived by each different social relationship and view.

'Landscape', this material has been changed constantly in terms of new trend of painting. According to subjectivity, intention and intervention of the artist, its characteristic has had abstract, geometric or realistic appearance. Especially, contemporary landscape painting reflects on an artificial image of a city and the nature and people in here in terms of the times the artist lives. Such various appearances of landscape is recreated as 'landscape perceived' at the exhibition, which connects us to anther side of the world.

Hyounsoo Kyung has dissolved a map, objectified document of a city structure and recreated it in a painting or a sculpture. He shows 'Debris Division' series. which is an extension of 'Debris' series for the exhibition. As dividing a part of dissolved image and re-extending and reproducing it, the new works maximize spontaneous amusement and happiness.

Hyuk Kwon, who utilizes thread on canvas with stitch, draws a landscape painting using an emerged object from experienced time. A shaped water drawn by a sewing machine on acrylic colored canvas repeats gathering and scattering as a matrix creating the energy of all the things. Invisible and freewill flow of energy makes abundant texture as combining with contingency of stitch. A mix of stitched dots are a group of water drip and the landscape as the energy of water.

Myungjin Song has showed opaque green landscape filling with curious and ambiguous shapes to emphasize the planar characteristics. However, in her recent work, green color disappeared and she now uses unidentifiable colors. Also, basic figures, pit, cylinder and pillar, repeatedly come on her work. These composition and shape are a result of her effort to avoid illusory attribute the painting can have and an experimental attempt to reveal the flatness.

Jung Bae Lee has created photos of scenery in black based on mountaintop or the foot of a mountain. A glance at his work gives a feeling of ink-and-wash painting but the landscape is actually an appearance of mountain in an awkward composition on purpose. Artificial gestures, like hewn peak, name-carved rock and the foot of the mountain wrapped by the mesh, can be found. It shows a desire of a person who treats the nature as the controllable material. The artist described it in the indirect way through the landscape.
