An Sungha

안성하, Untitled, 2022-2023, Oil on canvas, 160 x 194 cm

Gana Art is pleased to announce Unseen, a solo exhibition of An Sungha (b. 1977), who stimulates our senses through everyday objects.

This exhibition will be held two years after the solo show at Gana Art Sounds in 2021 and introduces new paintings created by An, taking a retrospective look at her previous works while completing Doctorate Course in the Department of Fine Arts at Hongik University.

Focusing on her large-scale canvas works, which could not be seen in recent exhibitions, Gana Art presents the artistic journey An has taken so far and the future direction together. An paints small daily items such as candies, cigarette butts, corks, and soap on the canvas by enlarging them dozens or even hundreds of times of the actual scales.

Her works, which are so close-up that the human eye cannot capture the entire feature at once, provide the viewers with a haptic visual experience by inducing them to contact the subject’s surface with their eyes while passing by the works. As a result, viewers could fully focus on the painting and contemplate the essentials of the objects that are usually overlooked.

An’s works, which look realistically reproduced like a photograph when viewed from a distance, become blurred as the viewer approaches the canvas, and an abstract plate made up of traces of color takes its place. The ambiguous style of figurative and abstract further imprints the two-sided attributes of the object An draws, both sweet and addictive, clean and polluted. As the title of this exhibition Unseen, what viewers finally see through An’s works is not simply the object that exists around us, but the invisible essence of the object
