ABANG, an original visual artist known for expressing a &#8220;free and sexy artistic sensibility,&#8221; and FRAGILE, who creates balloon-shaped \u201cFragile Creatures\u201d with themes of life and death, come together in this two-person exhibition. Both artists challenge social norms by reinterpreting what we often take for granted, encouraging us to see familiar places and emotions in fresh, thought-provoking ways. This exhibition, Bouncy Holiday, serves as a space to recall extraordinary moments within our daily lives, offering a place to deeply experience life, freedom, and the fleeting moments in between.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46672 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2024\/11\/11110609\/Abang-2024-105x148.5cm-Acylic-on-canvas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Abang,105&#215;148.5cm Acylic on canvas, 2024<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Abang<\/strong> explores themes of a &#8220;free and sexy artistic sensibility,&#8221; by capturing fleeting urban emotions, lights, and sounds with vibrant colors and expressive drawings. She deconstructs imperfections, reinterpreting them through collages and broken plaster works to convey messages like \u201cwholeness is not the only thing of value\u201d and \u201cnothing should be taken for granted.\u201d Spontaneous events are integral to her creative process, and in her exhibition Bouncy Holiday, she invites viewers to reimagine familiar landscapes with fresh perspectives. Most pieces were inspired by impromptu sketches from her travels, making each brushstroke a reflection of her journey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-46673 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2024\/11\/11110750\/Fragile-T-rex-2023-130-x-162-cm-Acrylic-on-canvas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Fragile T-rex, 130 x 162 cm Acrylic on canvas, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Fragile <\/strong>delves into life and death (\u6b7b\u751f\u89b3, <em>shiseikan: Focusing on death to reflect on &#8216;life\u2019<\/em>) through her balloon-shaped \u201cFragile Creatures,\u201d which symbolize life\u2019s fragility and balance. She contrasts bright, celebratory imagery with hidden anxieties to highlight the transient nature of life. Her exhibition, themed \u201cLight of Life,\u201d presents motifs of predator-prey relationships and bones, using detailed brushstrokes to mirror the nuanced surfaces of living creatures. Fragile examines life\u2019s complexities and human consumption of life through animals, pets, and ornamental lives as well as lives lost to illness, disaster, or war. Through her creations, she aims to present the issue of life that humanity repeatedly consumes today, reflecting it within both the world of her work and reality in &#8216;Bouncy Holiday.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>SH GALLERY<br \/>\n17 Apgujeong-ro 46-gil Gangnam-gu,Seoul\u00a0<br \/>\n02-6205-1610<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sh-gallery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WEB<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sh_gallery_seoul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[62,50,51],"class_list":["post-46671","insights","type-insights","status-publish","hentry","category-year","category-insight","category-stories"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["ko","en"],"languages":{"ko":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights\/46671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/insights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/insights"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
