Kim Yeon Hong constructs imagined landscapes from photographs collected online, rendering them as if they were personally experienced. Her work moves beyond direct observation, focusing instead on the sensory traces embedded in images.

In the On the Waves series, overlapping seasons and weather evoke moments where fiction and reality intersect. Through layered fragments of perception, she translates fleeting sensations into painterly form—reconstructing movement, space, and atmosphere from digital sources.

By transforming images from the screen into new visual environments, Kim explores a distinct depth within the precise yet ephemeral qualities of contemporary imagery, ultimately seeking to leave lasting sensory impressions beyond the boundaries of reality and imagination.

"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.

Through photoscollected via the web, Kim's work embodies the imagined nature and conveys it as though it had been experienced in real life. While traditionalartworks convey nature seen through sight as seen while painting, Kim captures the essence of the asynchronous image seized throughphotography. The "On the waves." series expresses the location and moment where fiction and reality collide by overlapping the seasons andweather experienced on an anonymous beach and in real life. With shards of senses colliding and combining, these pieces try to aggregateeveryday life with remnants of incidental sensations. The imagined sense of movement is artistically articulated, recreated with a thin sense ofspace, and placed on a canvas based on digital photographs. It takes in the image from the monitor and applies a tiny bit of creativity to create awhole new visual world. The moment's image is caught and the invisible components are conveyed visually through the waves that carry theseason's colors. By contemplating and creating a virtual environment, Kim continues her search to find a distinct depth amid the priceless andsuperficial details of precise pieces. By doing this, she emphasizes leaving sensory imprints and communicating beyond the confines of realityand fantasy.

Yoo Suzy work explores the connections between nature and people, between the self and others. She paints ordinary experiences and memories with a personal touch. Her paintings of landscapes and memories resemble real scenes while blending personal impressions and sensations, with the size, color, and form of subjects freely interchanging and overlapping each other fluidly. The "continuity" in her paintings encompasses all shapes of connection that are naturally assigned at birth and continue to link somewhere throughout life. Her works, written as daily records like a diary, are expressed through various materials and techniques, expanding personal stories into universal narratives that connect everyone.
