JiHyun Im explores painting through the close observation and magnification of plant surfaces. Seen at close range, the plant no longer appears as a single, unified form, but unfolds into layered strata, splitting grains, and flows of diffused color—separate yet continuous, forming a single mass. Through this, the plant is perceived not as a specific subject, but as a structure that generates sensation.

The diffusion of red hues, smooth gloss, and dry, cracking textures evoke the surface of skin or internal tissue, revealing moments where form shifts into another mode of perception. Rather than reproducing the subject, the work follows the sensations that emerge through proximity, constructing the image by leaving or removing fragments of form. What matters is not what is depicted, but what kind of sensation is produced on the surface.

The pictorial surface is treated like a kind of skin, where accumulated and abraded layers, permeating color, and traces of gloss and dryness overlap to form an organic structure. This surface does not remain fixed as an image, but persists in a state of continual change.

Ultimately, the work does not aim to represent a specific subject, but explores the threshold between the moment just before form is recognized and the point at which it begins to dissolve, drawing attention to where the familiar becomes unfamiliar.

Toshimitsu Imai was an influential 20th-century Japanese painter. Best known for his monumental abstract works, Imai composed his canvases with a combination of thick impasto marks and fluid, inky lines to build chaotic, “allover” compositions.

Soyoung Seo is an artist who converts figurative components into abstract images. She recently worked in several fields, including graphics, painting, and design, and combining illustration with NFT works. She develops her work in the form of collages, pursuing the unique atmosphere formed by the collision of unrelated places and objects, and is fascinated by humans' raw and unrefined emotions. Since she describes her work as a series of daydreams and investigations, she allows the audience to join the beautiful and unstable realm of dreams and unconsciousness that we lose as we grow older, providing a vibrant world of inner sensations.

Inhyeon Lee(b. 1958) majored in painting at Seoul National University and obtained a master's and doctoral degree from the Graduate School of Tokyo University of the Arts. He served as a professor at the Department of Painting at Hansung University for over 30 years and trained younger students. Since the early 1990s, he has continued the ‘L'épistémè of Painting’ series, which raises philosophical questions about the historical structure of art. To this day, he has achieved outstanding pictorial achievements through endless challenges. Inhyeon Lee held 21 solo exhibitions across Korea and Japan. He also participated in numerous group exhibitions at home and abroad, including the INDEPENDENTS exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art in 1979 and 1980, the Gwangju Biennale in 2000, Grand Palais Paris, Seibu Museum of Art in Japan, Artcore Gallery in LA, Institute of Contemporary Art in Singapore, and Seoul Museum of Art. Participated in numerous group exhibitions at home and abroad, including at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He won the Award of Excellence at the 1st SPACE International Prints Biennale and the Grand Prix at the 10th Seoul International Print Biennale. His works are collected in the National Museum of Modern Art, the British Museum, and the Seoul Museum of Art.

Wada Chizu liked to draw from an early age, but learned to draw by self-taught against her parents' 
opposition. She started serializing her paintings on the Internet in 2009, and made her debut as a cartoon artist in 2014. Since then, she has been actively working in various art scenes such as publications, exhibitions, and art fairs, expanding the scope of her creation through painting. 
The paintings contain a wide range of themes: humans and animals, me and the outside world, and 
relationships. In recent years, the artist has been focusing on acrylic canvas paintings, but before that, she used to draw manga and illustrations. In the new works presented in this exhibition, she again used the pen, which was the main medium of her work. To her, new works simultaneously mean a return to the roots of her work and an exploration of new styles. In the painting, ‘I’ wear animal clothes. Costumes are a way to protect herself in relationships and an act of allowing her true inner self. That place, different from reality, is another form of self-expression.

Ros Kamolros is a British-Thai artist, her work examines urban subjects and forms, repositioning their sub-cultural, cross-societal and historical essences.

Sung Min Woo is a contemporary artist who explores ecological order and the dignity of existence through marginal life forms, particularly grass. By capturing the tenacious vitality of grass-often overlooked-the artist extends its quiet resilience into narratives of organic interconnectedness that shape our shared lives.
The work moves beyond simple representation of nature, focusing instead on the values and relationships between beings. Using a distinctive technique of gold leaf and traditional pigments on silk, Sung elevates plants grown in harsh environments into sacred presences. The delicate stems and leaves spreading across the luminous golden surface visualize the unseen flow of life, inviting viewers to reflect on a sense of awe toward all existence and the value of coexistence.

Ping Hatta (b. 1990), is an artist whose work explores the intersection of strength and softness within femininity. Inspired by personal narratives, nature, and everyday moments, she paints vibrant, surreal portraits that capture the nuances of womanhood—both its resilience and vulnerability.

Seok Min Park’s work explores the ideas of time and space, depicting the fundamental concepts that make up our world. Park’s works introduced by Gallery Kabinett are often categorized as abstract, but the works depict specific landscapes that exist on a borderline, allowing Park to occupy a unique position without being confined to the category of abstraction.

Based in Seoul, Lee Heami explores the diverse material qualities of clay. She creates freely formed objects unbound by function, and through the repeated process of silvering their surfaces, she speaks to the accumulation of time and the nature of connection. By hand-building, firing, and layering silver onto her forms, she expresses a condensed beauty and fluid sensibility — works that respond with quiet attunement to the temperature and humidity of a space, drawing the viewer into a sensory dialogue. Lee Heami's practice is an open-ended sculpture that transforms through relationship, always moving toward but never fixing itself at completion.

Shigeki Matsuyama is a Japanese contemporary artist. His work was shaped by his early career as an illustrator and his philosophical reflections following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. He has since pursued a more conceptual art practice, reinterpreting through his work the impact of modern society's consumerism, pop culture, media, and technology on the human experience. His works provide visual play through the use of repetitive patterns and intense colors, and he is expanding his artistic expression through various media,
including not only painting but also objects and installations.

Dong Hyuk Lee explores the spaces and objects that once reflected people’s beliefs and origins, but at some point were abandoned and have come to wither away. Lee imbues his experiences and memories onto various objects such as chairs, glasses, pianos, and crosses that have been left in ruins and paints landscapes and portraits that emerge from the stories he gathered on these objects. As such is his process, the space and objects he captures first reveal the artist’s beliefs and subjective rendering. On the other hand, Lee has experimented with and immersed himself in various compositional elements such as symbolic figures, signs, and colors in the pictorial dimension so that his work is not composed solely of the subjective. Continuing this artistic exploration, his recent works embody the act of “seeing” itself, which reflects the artist’s will to examine the multi-layered nuances of the operation of recognition and identification of the object’s significance within the methodology of painting.

Park Cheol-ho was born in Jeongeup in 1975. All of his creative stories are connected to form a worldview. Each story captures a moment in the personal history of human culture where complex emotions intersect. He determines the achievement of his work by the length of time the audience stays in front of his work. He does not unilaterally convey the artist’s story but seeks a communication method. The most important thing for the author is humor. Self-taught artist Park covers various media, including fiction, playwriting, painting, photography, video, film, sculpture, installation, and performance.

Tat or Nattee Sujithara was born in Bangkok in 1983. He received a Bachelor Degree of Fine Arts in Painting from Chiang Mai University in 2006. After graduation, he opened a solo exhibition ‘Color of Life’ at Neilson Hays Library in Bangkok in 2009. He later took on many portraiture and illustration projects, and also worked on ideas for next exhibitions. With more experiences in an art world, he decided to be a full-time professional artist and opened his second solo exhibition ‘Circle of Thought’ at The Meeting Room Art Gallery in 2019. He received the Triennale Prize in Drawing Category from the 5th Bangkok Triennale International Print and Drawing Exhibition, at Bangkok Art & Culture Centre in Bangkok. He currently works and resides with his family in Chiang Mai. 


Jaeyeon Leem explores a strange sense of novelty from unfamiliar sensations. The artist earned her undergraduate degree in painting from Ewha Womans University and is currently pursuing her master’s in the same institution. In her painting, peculiar emotions entangle with the world and result in its own fantasies. As our familiar world feels inadequate and incomplete, this uncharted mystic realm exerts a greater force upon us. The mythic motifs that appear in her work serve to amplify these sensations of strangeness, mystery, and fear that we have not encountered previously in our world. The unseen and unexperienced world feels like the underbelly of the real world, yet it is a space that makes us conscious of the depths within the human mind. 
Her art seeks to reconcile the coexistence of dualities such as reality and unreality, desire and repression, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, and within these tensions, she expresses the will and hope of life, aspirations, yearnings and fears. Her abstract gestures, intertwined with hidden forms, continually weave a narrative between the worlds she has experienced and those she has never encountered, revealing the artist's connection to an alien and mystical realm. The artist’s work is akin to myths - mysterious yet not fantasy or fiction bur rather a world that closely resembles the non-fictional, one she has sensed and felt.

Kim Yunsoo creates her own works by drawing invisible things with scattered things, making lumps with flowing things, building up layers of time.

Kim Yunsoo won the 22nd Woomin Art Award in 2023 and is preparing for a solo exhibition at Woomin Art Sensor in 2024.

Eunu Lee places more emphasis on the connections between objects than the conceptual meanings that have been assigned to them. Following his graduation from the Korea National University of Arts in Seoul, he has shown various works investigating the relationship between art and design and the form and function of objects. By transforming ordinary things, he explores new relationships and meanings with implications for daily life. His work breaks down the duality of ready-made products through practical ways of constantly arranging, disassembling, and assembling objects, taking the viewer to a realm of new shock in a modern society that places a premium on the mass manufacture and efficiency of objects.

Gyubin Seong’s work is based on his everyday joy, interest, and curiosity about his neighbours. She is developing his potential through various artistic endeavours while studying for a degree in fine art at the Seoul National University of Science and Technology. She finds comfort and love in the insignificant moments of daily life, reconstructing them with his mind. Instead of a formal description, she frequently transforms shapes to capture the mood and feelings of the moment. She brings warm memories to the audience through sensitive observation and expression that evokes the senses of sight, hearing, and scent.

I work primarily with oil paint, applying it with intention but disrupting it before it sets. While the paint is still wet, I smear it with a towel—blurring, lifting, softening. In these gestures, I relinquish control and make space for chance. Sometimes the towel removes an image I thought I needed. Other times, it leaves behind a trace more evocative than anything I could have deliberately created. The smearing becomes a collaboration between my hand, the material, and the moment.

Sunday B. Morning is an artistic enigma: a replicator of the 20th century’s most famous replicator. Once an authorized distributor of Andy Warhol prints, the company had its legality questioned after the artist had a change of heart, and its legitimacy as a producer of authentic prints has grown murky. The project began as a collaboration between Warhol and two anonymous friends in Belgium whom the artist contracted to make new editions of some of his most famous artworks—including his famed “Marilyn,” “Flowers,” and “Campbell’s Soup Cans” series—using negatives he gave them himself. Sunday B. Morning continued to make editions of Warhol’s iconic works after the split, in some ways continuing Warhol’s inquiries into image, iconography, reproduction, and ownership. Sunday B. Morning is now a well-known purveyor of prints including the aforementioned works as well as “Mao” and “Dollar” series.

Ahn Soo-in’s work reflects sensations long experienced as a fragile human presence standing before nature—an existence governed by an exquisitely intricate cycle. Confronted with nature as a source of wonder and longing, the raw sense of inadequacy and quiet shame, along with the persistent desire to draw closer despite them, are carefully gathered and held within the pictorial space.

Leaving behind only the visible traces of nature, the artist reconstructs colour and texture into forms reminiscent of paper folding or modelling clay, revealing a tentative yearning to collect and preserve nature itself. This act of composition is not an attempt to faithfully replicate a complete form, but rather a metaphorical reflection on the posture of beings who live perpetually in states of incompletion—an exploration of longing directed toward wholeness.

Takuya Kamioka naturally began his journey in art under the influence of his grandfather and father, who were both painters and illustrators. However, the most decisive moment in his artistic journey was his childhood exposure to hip-hop music and street graffiti. This experience ignited a significant cultural and artistic inspiration in him, and to this day, street culture remains deeply rooted in his work. He focuses on capturing the beauty of harmony and contrast created by light and reflections in everyday landscapes, rather than symbolic subjects. He combines his own photography with imaginative elements to create dreamlike atmospheres in his paintings. He has consistently collaborated with companies and brands such as REEBOK, ADIDAS, TORIBA COFFEE, and DOUTOR, as well as musicians like FUJII KAZE, AWICH, ANARCHY, KOHH, and KANDYTOWN.
