Hanna Lee explores themes of life, death, and the subtle tension between them through her Diving Series. The act of diving evokes the image of a leap, while the figure rising from the water appears to ascend toward life, capturing the boundary between falling and rising—between life and death. Through this juxtaposition, Lee invites contemplation on existence and the cyclical nature of these contrasts.

Memoir No. 11

Drawing from his distinctive background as a tattooist, TAPPEI ventures into a new realm of expression through painting, expanding his practice onto large-scale canvases for the first time. Liberated from the physical limitations of skin, his work unfolds with intuitive gestures and a candid exploration of the inner self. The recurring ‘angel’ motif is not merely decorative, but serves as a symbolic guide throughout his creative universe—prominently featured once again in this piece. His approach, rooted in choosing authenticity over outside expectations, imbues the canvas with both playful energy and quiet determination.

Liberation

One day in her dream, the artist witnessed a special being segmented into geometric forms of cylinders, cones, and spheres. This fragmented body and face, named "Bob-hair" by the artist, serves as both her alter ego and muse, performing a dance on the circus stage. The image of Bob-hair struggling not to fall in this special space of fantasy and tension—the circus—left a powerful impression on the artist.

The works born from this experience reveal wit, lightness, elegance, and mystery on the surface, but beneath lies a deep existential anguish. The dream-state clown, who paradoxically experiences solitude and anxiety amidst endless audience demands and expectations, merges with the artist's mirror-self—the graphite face—expressed through the detailed visual language of her linework.

Yoon Mi-seon's paintings are built upon the strong contrast of light and shadow created by precise pencil lines. For the artist, black is not simply a color but a complete color in itself—a fundamental backdrop containing infinite possibilities. She creates the illusion of three dimensions through subtle variations in brightness, while intentionally treating certain areas with low brightness or limited color to achieve a paradoxical harmony between depth and flatness.

If an essence is obscure, it is rather more interesting to capture this ambiguity than to actually determine its quality. The genuine fun in this act becomes a device for escape from the loneliness of the work. I utilize the spectacle of eccentricity that exists between the fissures of signs and amplify the unfamiliarity by inserting trivial stories–constantly disrupting them. I capture the moment of slippage as the meaning of a sign slips and slides without settling, and I shake it so that it does concretize completely. The entanglement in my narrative is an attempt to connect “me, things, materials, and the world” through a different reading of the subtle emotions that emerge from the collision. In the cracks that appear amidst the perfect seven rainbow bands, I fear the results of revelation but aim to discover a new balance amongst the endless cracks and unfamiliar sensations.

Drawn in Circles, Still Flat

Collecting diverse images from across popular culture, yyth deconstructs and reassembles them on canvas, capturing the spirit of the times and layering his own experiences within them. Many of his visual references reflect the era in which he lived alongside these images, often evoking the iconic aesthetics of 1980s and '90s comics and animation. While the canvases may initially appear flat, subtle variations in color and texture reveal the multilayered nature of his subjects. The exhibition layout itself is deliberately unconventional, featuring an array of both traditional rectangular frames and free-form shapes. This juxtaposition reflects Yyth’s distinct approach, challenging conventional stability and showcasing a unique individuality untethered from established norms. His use of asymmetry speaks not only to a sense of vulnerability in the face of difference but also to the autonomy that defines his practice.

The works are given the meaning of an act of resolution because they begin with an obsessive life experience.

yyth works with the aim of confronting the essential reality of the object. She treats painting as a tool for approaching the object tangibly and through it towards a series of acts such as forgetting, research, understanding, and appreciation. In her practice, she collects multifaceted images that she considers to be products of the times, and then fragments and reconstructs them in an editorial manner to fill the canvas. The images utilized in her work are often contemporaneous with the objects she tries to confront through her paintings, which is why her screens are reminiscent of manga and anime that appeared in the 8th and 90s.

Duri Baek expresses the will to live through the light that illuminates the plants and the shadows behind them. The light that shines on the plants simultaneously creates the darkness of the shadows. The light and shadows that fall on the plants show their fierce determination and efforts to survive.The works in <Transition> are colored yellow for light and green for shadow. In the past, Baek's paintings have been characterized by the light and shadow of trees, poles, roots, and plants on rocks in the "빛의 자리","마중" , and "바위 위", but this time, the land, which is the basis of recovery, occupies a large area of the painting. <Transition> shows a green shadow falling on a neglected yellow ground, and tells the story of the beginning of life.

He focuses on the boundaries of experiencing the unknown by translating images viewed through phone screens and computer monitors, and then transferring them to canvas. The work process involves capturing the reference image in its liquid crystal state, then translating the image through the camera, followed by the painting process.

Gyume is interested in the form in which invisible things such as air, wind, appearance, and extinction are visualized in the digital space and overlaps the images collected through it into the actual painting space. It freely uses the large and distinct cadence and vitality created by irregular shapes and lines, flexible brushes and paint marks as if swimming in aesthetic space.

His paintings employ layered images of vast natural elements—mountains, oceans, and the 
cosmos—built up through transparent layers
