PROGRAM    Exhibition Opening Party

TIME             6:00 PM – 10:00 PM

 

GALLERY Grappe presents two programs in harmony with the exhibition for Cheongdam Night.

The first, Sound Walk, is a sound installation that fills the entire exhibition space, offering an auditory interpretation of the theme where reality and imagination converge. This immersive soundscape invites visitors to experience emotional resonance alongside visual stimuli.

The second program, What Is Your Resonance Today?, is an emotional tarot card experience. Like a scene from a fairy tale, each card offers a message, leaving emotional space open for personal interpretation. As visitors journey through the exhibition, the cards gently guide them to tune into their emotional rhythm, allowing for a more introspective and fluid engagement with the artworks.

*RSVP required

 

The paintings of Lee Doowon encounter the collections of Repossi, the Italian high jewelry house, in a shared space of quiet resonance.
Known for his contemporary reinterpretations of traditional Korean minhwa, Lee’s work enters into a subtle dialogue with Repossi’s legacy of craftsmanship and refined aesthetics. Moving beyond conventional dichotomies such as “tradition and modernity” or “East and West,” the presentation reveals moments where two distinct formal languages gently intertwine.

This presentation features a wide spectrum of Repossi’s archive, including signature collections such as Berbère, Antifer, Serti Sur Vide, and the high jewelry line Blast. In response, Lee unveils new paintings inspired by the structural motifs, symbolic language, and textures found in the jewelry. The lines and curves of the pieces are reimagined on canvas, unfolding into a cross-medium visual rhythm.

ADDRESS     #2F, 14, Apgujeong-ro 71-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul

PROGRAM    Midnight Art Salon

TIME             7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

 

Planet presents “Midnight Art Viewing,”a special late-night program held in conjunction with the exhibition Sensory Projection.

For this event, the gallery will extend its opening hours until 9 PM, allowing visitors—including working professionals and students who may find it difficult to visit during the day—to enjoy the exhibition in a more relaxed setting.

“Sensory Projection” features paintings and installations by Suyoun Kim, Shinae Kim,and Hyungjin Park, exploring the nature of art as an act of projecting the world perceived through the most fundamental mode of cognition—our senses.

Each artist approaches this concept differently: from translating invisible sensory traces into material form, to capturing the shifting colors and patterns of everyday scenery through repeated observation. Together, they offer an expanded horizon of thought and perception.

“Midnight Art Viewing”aims to lower the barrier to entry into the gallery space and offer a tranquil, immersive experience with art—an evening that invites visitors into a deeper engagement with the works on view.

Lee Hooshin Solo Exhibition (2F)

The artist explores the emotional landscape of the human psyche through a state of serene isolation.
By stripping away the unnecessary, he turns inward—guided by raw, instinctive sensations that surface from the unconscious.

 

Heo Pilseok Solo Exhibition (1F)

A red car drifts through dreamlike landscapes where reality and imagination blur.
The work reflects a modern longing to escape the chaos of daily life, offering moments of peace and quiet inspiration through nature’s gentle embrace.

 

Choi Hana Solo Exhibition (B1)

For the artist, the emotions and questions that arise from lived experience—and the act of reflecting on them—form the core of her philosophical inquiry.
Through this process, she distills profound insights into existence and the world into singular, evocative moments on canvas.
