Hyunwoo Li(b.1990) captures everyday scenes and presents them with a familiar yet fresh perspective and flow. He translates moments from ordinary life-whether a landscape glimpsed while driving or a scene encountered while walking-into paintings, imbuing still surfaces with a sense of movement, density, and temporality. Through layers of countless brushstrokes and a rich palette, his works, grounded in careful study of specific subjects and artistic contemplation, offer viewers and a brief pause- a moment to catch their breath-amid the ever-changing rhythms of daily life.

"Objecthood" is a concept that emerged from minimalism, often translated as "objecthood" or "materiality." It aims to strip objects of unnecessary elements, focusing on the essence of the object and the inherent properties of the material, to present works that are non-imitative and non-representational. Based in Busan, Objecthood Gallery seeks to introduce the artistic worlds of emerging domestic and international artists who understand and interpret this pure concept of objecthood. The gallery also serves as a new platform to offer moments of relaxation and leisure in our modern lives.
