“Landscapes” Installation view at WOOSON gallery ©WOOSON galleryLandscapes, an exhibition featuring artists Omyo Cho, Nosik Lim, Youngho Jeong, will run from July 13 to August 25 at WOOSON Gallery.
The exhibition aims to examine the contemporary nature of art based on their works. By taking this exhibition as a contemporary landscape depicted by art, the viewer will be able to take a closer look at the single landscape of each work, as well as the other landscapes they can create together. The exhibition considers the work of Omyo Cho, Nosik Lim, and Youngho Jeong as representative of the contemporary art and focuses on the ways in which they manipulate their mediums of sculpture, painting, and photography.
In this exhibition, Omyo Cho presents works based on imagination related to the future and memory. The sculptures, made of glass and stainless steel, are based on imagining the forms of future humans or intelligent beings. Nosik Lim observes and depicts the materials from the places he has stayed. However, these are not depictions of scenes themselves, but psychologically reconstructed landscapes based on a sense of distance between the object and the act of drawing. In this exhibition, we can also see his paintings with blurred and pale shapes or only green lines. Using photography as a tool, Youngho Jeong uses photography to question the impact of technological advancements on perception. By taking photos from websites that collect portraits created by artificial intelligence and rephotographing them, or by zooming in parts of the body and capturing them in black and white, Jeong captures the world through the process of photography.
The different contemporary scenes presented by the three artists are conveyed to the audience not only as a landscape of the times, but also as a landscape that constitutes the times.
