titled 《An Ocean for All: Where the Line is Drawn》 (curated by Jee Young Maeng) through May 2 to celebrate its
reopening.
《An Ocean for All: Where the Line is Drawn》 spotlights five artists—Kun Kang, Eunu Lee, Hyungkoo Lee, Sungoo
Im, and Sang-ah Choi—who focus on ‘drawing’ as the key to their art and create
works that expand upon this method.

《An Ocean
for All: Where the Line is Drawn》 ©Ranee SeoulThe five artists, spanning several
generations, use drawing, the very first product of their thought process, as
the basis of their work as they fine tune the balance between their
two-dimensional and three-dimensional projects.
Their individual grammar, each stemming
from different beginnings, sometimes summon memories and undergo the process of
healing, sometimes project the artist’s emotions onto landscapes that are easy
to overlook, and sometimes raise existential questions by using the material
body as a medium or create intangible spaces.
In this way, everyone’s personal space is
in constant conversation with the individual’s surroundings, undergoing an
infinite cycle of creation and destruction influenced by their language and
outlook.

《An Ocean
for All: Where the Line is Drawn》 ©Ranee SeoulThis exhibition begins with the individual
artist but expands into a space for everyone, imagining a ‘collective ocean’
where each individual can coexist in a single world, connected to each other.
Through this exhibition, Ranee Seoul becomes a temporary place where viewers
can recognize how each artist’s space, which appears detached, is actually
connected and resonates with each other in invisible ways.
Participating Artists: Kun Kang, Eunu Lee, Hyungkoo Lee, Sungoo Im, Sang-ah Choi
