Julian Opie

Julian Opie's work is recognised around the world. With public commissions and international museum exhibitions from New York to Seoul, London to Calgary, Opie's distinctive formal language is instantly recognisable and reflects his artistic preoccupation with the concept of representation and the way images are perceived and understood. "Everything you see is a trick of light," says Opie. "Light enters your eyes, light casts shadows, creates depth, shape, and colour. When you switch off the light, everything disappears. We use sight as a means of survival, and it's essential for us to take it for granted, but awareness allows us to look at what we see and, by extension, to look at ourselves and be aware of our existence. Drawing, painting the way the process feels and works, brings awareness to the present, to the real world, to the outside world."

Always exploring a range of techniques, both cutting-edge and ancient, Opie reinterprets the vocabulary of everyday life to explore ways of seeing, and his reductive style evokes a visual and spatial experience of the world around us. Influenced by classical portraiture, Egyptian hieroglyphics, Japanese woodblock prints, public signage, information boards, and traffic signs, the artist bridges the clean visual language of contemporary life with the fundamentals of art history.

In the meantime, he puts “unclear”personal sense or experiences into the “clear” domain of sign. In Moon’s works, “specialty and universality” and “individual and society” interwind and infiltrate one another.

Yongho Kim

Photographer Kim Yong-Ho has been creating a unique and surreal story that combines images of his everyday experiences and memories, crossing the border between commercial and artistic photos. He has been releasing experimental photos while building relationship with the public.

Rather than the ideological aesthetics of photography expressed by any form or constraint, he plans a continuous and meaningful project. As a groundbreaking recorder, he pays closer attention to the moment when the border between various gazes, freedom, and unconsciousness is expressed through the contemporary era.

He has led projects that evoked the public's sympathy with ‘unique presence’ and 'originality' in each field of photography, broadcasting, culture, art, fashion, lifestyle, etc., and re-examined icons, companies, culture, brands, and cultural heritage. He is classified as an exceptional and challenging artist. He changed the cultural trend of photography and commercial through unexpected ideas, composition, and re-imagination of perspective, and has contributed greatly to spreading the global image of Korean companies since the exhibition of “Body” at Daelim Museum in 2008.

In recent years, his works tended to focus widely on the possibilities of photographic images as well as video media. Multimedia that borders across the exhibition is sometimes visual text that replaces the artist's notes or commentary, and sometimes functions as a fascinating detail that mediates the traditional virtue within the photography—Punctum and Studium. These characteristics uniquely reveal the world of Kim Yong-Ho, which cannot be defined by only one category, and bring vitality to the gap behind the still image.

Youngjae Oh

[artist's note]
My interest in the ancient practice of pictographs, or amulets, is not only because of the outward appeal of the images, but also because of the mystery of their symbolic composition. Due to the shamanistic nature of amulets, where the images themselves exert some sort of magical power, they have been downplayed as magical tricks and superstitions, and their aesthetic world has not received the attention it deserves. Out of a vague fascination and interest, I began to study amulets in a sculptural way, and discovered that they contain a whole universe within them, filled with aesthetic materials of the highest refinement and beauty.

Rooted in magical mysticism, the images of pictograms are an aesthetic manifestation of human creativity and have the power to connect the human spirit with the material world. Images of archetypes handed down from ancient times, symbols of concepts that symbolically illustrate the principles of creation of all things in the universe, abstract shapes based on human intuition of the invisible world, such as the flow of chi... Amulets made up of images of these symbols are an original art that makes the invisible world visible through the exercise of human imagination. In particular, in its creative sculptural principle, there is a creative and unconventional sculpture that is being tried in various ways in contemporary art. This means that there are infinite possibilities that can be reborn as a new sculpture outside of any fixed framework that is outdated.

My work is a creative attempt to present a new world of beauty by reinterpreting pictograms, which have travelled a long way from ancient times, in a modern visual language. Despite the abundance of visual images, modern people are constantly hungry for new forms of art. Due to the multimedia art environment that combines different elements such as images, text, and sound, contemporary art seeks new ways of looking, new ways of reading, and new ways of listening. Unlike in the past, contemporary art now actively utilises non-linear, interactive and integrated media such as video media, the internet and mobile phones, including temporality. In today's digital media environment, where a complex convergence of media is taking place, amulets have infinite possibilities to develop into a new art form through the sculptural dynamism of their symbolic representations, which move between pictures and text. As such, amulets as a symbolic sculptural language are an artistic language with vast potential to suggest new directions for contemporary art and expand its scope of expression.

Passed down through the millennia, pictograms hold a wealth of symbolic imagery. Their sculptural exploration is a new attempt to transform them into deep and delicate images that capture unique cultural sentiments. It is also a fascinating way to communicate with the invisible and mysterious energies of the universe through images. The creative challenge of exploring the fusion of various mediums and the new integration of secret pictogram images is a joyful play of discovering another world of time.
