The most important thing for the author is humor.

Minji Ryu recalls the emotions she experienced while observing the landscape in her daily life and investigates the manner in which gathered images are displayed in paintings. As a graduate of the Department of Fine Arts at Seoul National University of Science and Technology, she acknowledged the inevitable gap between the experience of gazing at reality and drawing it and took a moment to recognize the landscape that was shared through abstraction and conceptualization. Her paintings focus on the experience of seeing and reproduce the impression produced by substituting an object for a function consisting of light and darkness as a physical image. In this manner, the artist hopes that paintings will serve as a channel for evoking past experiences in the minds of the audience, so reviving their perspective on current life. 

Heejoon Lee creates abstract paintings from images of the natural world.

The composed instant images add the texture and time of the accumulated paint to generate a new space on the canvas. In addition to the photo collage and thick matière geometric shapes in <The Tourist> in 2020, the artist shifts his focus from minor objects to the surrounding landscape and extends the visual experience beyond abstract painting to the experience of space in which architecture and painting coexist.

Seongjoon Hong(b.1987) continuously investigates the properties of painting, particularly its mediums and materials. Through various techniques, Hong repeatedly depicts scenes layered with smooth, thin, or translucent membranes that subtly reveal the flat canvas surface and the materials composing it. His works feature delicately colored landscapes where light refracts through layered silhouettes, leaving behind only faint shadows where color and image have dissolved. In his Layers of the air series, for instance, Hong centers soap bubbles on the canvas or positions them just beyond the frame, focusing on their lightness and transparency. By zooming in on these surfaces, he distorts the landscape, allowing waves of projected light to transform his work into abstract paintings.

Hong holds both a BFA and MFA in Fine Arts from Hongik University in Seoul. He has held solo exhibitions including at SEOJUNG ART(Seoul & Busan, 2024), 68projects(Berlin, Germany, 2024), Prompt Project(Seoul, 2023), Galerie BHAK(Seoul, 2022), Pipe Gallery(Seoul, 2022) and Hakgojae Design Project Space(Seoul, 2020).

Ursula Palla was born 1961 and grew up in Chur, today she lives and works in Zürich. In her work she interlinks video and room sculptures and works with sensitive materials such as moulded sugar, coal dust or snow. The fragility of nature and wild life is the focus in many works. On a first level an enchanting aesthetic make these accessible. Yet all works are based on comprehensive research, and only its knowledge completely reveals the depth and urgency of the work. The video and room installations by Ursula Palla are poetic and at the same time show up voids that often leave behind a stale feeling and remind us of our responsibility towards nature and environment. This makes the artist’s work highly topical.
While in Ursula Pallas’ early work the accent was on the human being as a figure between appearance and disappearance, after 2000 the plant and animal world came into focus as motifs. The artificiality of nature crystallises ever more clearly as the central theme of the multimedia oeuvre.
