Installation View (1)<\/em><\/p>\n Sun Gallery is pleased to present \u300aAll Kinds of Things\u300b, the solo exhibition of artist Gil-woo Lee(b.1967) in four years since \u300a108 & Stone\u300b in 2021. Prompted by the horrors of the war in Ukraine, this exhibition stems from the artist\u2019s profound reflection on human nature, desire, and the place of the individual within society. Focusing on the duality and complexity of human relationships, Lee reinterprets figures from everyday life to depict multifaceted portraits of humanity.<\/p>\n All kinds of things 025-6, 130 x 91 cm, Incense, Mixed media on hanji paper,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The titular series \u300aAll Kinds of Things\u300b presents abstract compositions that portray diverse crowds through structured, symbolic arrangements. Drawing inspiration from the traditional Korean concepts of obangsaek (the five directional colors) and jogakbo (patchwork textiles), Gil-woo Lee brings together the most Korean visual language with the most universal and paradoxical aspects of human relationships. His multilayered compositions\u2014formed by juxtaposing incense-burned surfaces with vibrant, colorful backdrops\u2014visually represent the intricate and sometimes chaotic dynamics of social interaction.<\/p>\n Installation View (2)<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n Works such as \u300aTraveler\u300b, \u300aNeighbor\u300b, and \u300aPasserby\u300b explore the psychological oppression of contemporary life, while expressing a yearning to reclaim color, individuality, and freedom. The scorched holes and images of emptiness that recur across the works collectively give form to a new visual reality\u2014one that questions the nature of human existence and social connection.<\/p>\n All kinds of things025-1, 180 x 140 cm, Incense, Mixed media on hanji paper<\/em><\/p>\n Through a sculptural and painterly language that bridges tradition and contemporaneity, this exhibition invites reflection on the essence and values of humanity today. It offers viewers a moment to reconsider the meaning of connection, coexistence, and solidarity within the complexities of our shared world.<\/p>\n SUN GALLERY WEBSITE<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0INSTAGRAM<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[50,51],"class_list":["post-53224","insights","type-insights","status-publish","hentry","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\/53224","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=53224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kiaf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2025\/07\/17125036\/Work1.-All-kinds-of-things-025-6_130x91cm-Incense-Mixed-media-on-hanji-pap.jpg\")
