presents a solo exhibition 《Pit Calls Wall》 by artist Seeun Kim, on view through September 6.
The
artist, who has long explored urban transformation driven by development as a
central theme in her painting, presents 《Pit Calls Wall》
as an investigation into “pits” and “tunnels” as sites that
reveal the underside of the city and the instability of perception.
Here,
the “pit” is not simply an object or image, but rather a fragment of the
city/development that is sensed through constant movement, deviation,
transformation, and layering. It also serves as a point of entry and a
threshold of transition for examining the conditions under which we perceive
space today.

Kim imagines a surface where perception operates in exceptional ways,
continuously generating and erasing forms, and expands her practice from
painting into murals, drawings, and stop-motion animation. In this exhibition,
the motifs of “pits” and “tunnels”—which traverse from the origins of painting
to contemporary visual systems—move beyond the static plane of representation.
They become surfaces of contact for the body and skins imbued with subtle
vibrations.
《Pit
Calls Wall》 translates embodied sensations from urban
space into the language of painting, exploring the surfaces of the city where
ideals and reality, order and illogic collide, and proposing new ways of seeing
and experiencing them.
