Kim Ji-yoon (b. 1995) documents the landscapes she encounters through video and images, and reconstructs them into painting by focusing on the passage of time, the energy permeating the scene, and the fleeting moments of change and flow. Scenes easily captured with digital devices and smartphones are re-experienced through the screen, carrying layers of time and traces of light and temperature that were not perceived in the moment. The artist captures these sensations and builds time onto the canvas through the repeated gestures of brushstrokes and the act of rubbing the painted surface, using oil paint as her primary medium. The accumulated colors and textures on the canvas become another landscape of time—formed through the warmth at her fingertips and the resistance of the paint as she works across the surface.

"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.
