Project
Space SARUBIA presents a solo exhibition by Sunkyung Ji, an artist from the
SO.S (Sarubia Outreach & Support) B group, titled “A white goose crosses between the grass and
the wind, drawing fresh strawberries like a moving sun within overlapping
circles”, through November 15.
In July
2023, six artists were selected through an open call for the SO.S 2023-2026
program, divided into A, B, and C groups. This exhibition presents the outcomes
of the program so far, seeking active feedback. The SO.S B group program
focuses on closely analyzing the creative journeys and environments of artists
adapting to new surroundings, such as Korea and Seoul. It aims to encourage
active creation and exhibition activities through systematic approaches,
including in-depth critical workshops and portfolio reviews.
Ji aesthetically observes and captures images of light reflected through various mediums, adding form, color, and volume to her works. For her, light becomes an element that starkly exposes ambivalent values and concepts, illuminating the infinite spectrum between dualities such as darkness and brightness, presence and absence, materiality and immateriality, and transparency and opacity.
In this exhibition, forms and colors act as
both individual expressions and interacting visual languages. Each form
distinguishes the space between planes, granting freedom to approach abstract
essences. Additionally, her sculptural elements exist within the context of
their relationships with the surroundings and the whole, influencing and
evolving continuously. In this dynamic, the viewer’s gaze follows the
sensations that evoke movement.
