PROGRAM   Exhibition Opening, Artist Talk

TIME             7:00 PM – 11:00 PM

 

Gallery Jinsun presents the artistic world of sculptor Oh Chae-hyun at “Samcheong Night”, held on September 4th. The artist has long been captivated by granite—a material known for its solidity and permanence—and continues to create stone sculptures rooted in its unchanging essence.

Oh Chae-hyun respects the natural form of granite, revealing shapes that organically emerge from within the stone. For this exhibition, the Oh will show sculptures embodying the form of a bird.

The image of the bird holds deep personal meaning. As a child, he was fascinated by them, chasing them across the fields of Gyeongju. Later, while studying at the Carrara Academy in Italy, the memory of a bird doodled on a construction wall left a lasting impression. In particular, ‘bird’ is the animal that he creates the most after the tiger.  For him, its forward-looking nature and boundless curiosity reflect his own artistic identity.

In his hands, the bird becomes a “stone that flies”—a soaring form that retains the raw beauty of granite. By refraining from overworking the material and preserving its original textures, Oh channels his artistic ideals and enduring creative vision. This exhibition offers a rare glimpse into his decades-long journey—his quiet, determined flight toward the essence of stone.
