MODESTY (虛心)
Solo Exhibition of "Soonja Kang" Date : February 26 - March 04, 2015 Opening Reception: February 26, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm Chelsea, New York
The Korean word “Huh-Shim(허심-虛 心)” is translated as modesty in English, though it is more associated with an attitude of behavior, manner or appearance intended to avoid impropriety in English word. Soonja Kang’s usage Huh-Shim, in which she uses as a title in all of her paintings, differs in a sense that it has more to do with a state of being in emptying out your mind. Kang attempts to portray an aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and the fine balance between imperfection and perfection. In Buddhism or Taoism tradition, emptiness points to an inner realization or state of mind characterized by simplicity, quietude, patience, frugality and restraint. It is an emotional or psychological stance associated with the lack of worldly desire, and includes also the actions arising out of this state of mind. Soonja Kang has delved into the extraordinary world of her own spirituality and she hopes the viewers can have glimpse of the Huh-Shim.

Harmony
Solo Exhibition of "Choongmi Jung" Date : March 12 - April 01, 2015 Opening Reception: March 12, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm Chelsea, New York
Choongmi Jung utilizes an ancient and revered medium and brings to it her contemporary vision. Jung creates works that embrace the medium of ceramics, while at the same time transcending it. Korean art has a long and special history with ceramics. During the nearly five hundred years of the Goryeo Dynasty (918–1392), Korean celadon (Cheong-ja) reached the apex of elegance and form. Their quiet gray-green hues and graceful lines had a profound impact on the aesthetic development and the tastes of the culture. To this day, ceramics hold a special place in the arts of Korea.
Her work reflects a deep commitment to the form, but at the same time, she is not afraid to break the rules, blazing a new path, reviving the form, and keeping it relevant for a new century. Some of Jung's twisted abstractions are achieved after she throws a perfect pot or vase on the wheel, then lifts it, and while the clay is still wet, drops it on the floor. The misshapen abstract form that results is then glazed and fired in the same way it would have been if the shape of the pot remained intact. Jung lets the new piece retain hints of its past, while expressing a new idea through a novel and arresting visual form.

Marsha Solomon
From Rhythm To Form Date : March 12 - April 01, 2015 Opening Reception: March 12, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm Chelsea, New York In her series, "From Rhythm to Form," Marsha Solomon creates lyrical abstractions in which she infuses her canvases with color and texture, but also with a sense of harmony and repose. Solomon’s large, color-field abstractions are inspired by the early abstract expressionists. Her work has been likened to Helen Frankenthaler’s while also displaying echoes of the bold brushwork of Motherwell and the saturated tonality of Morris Louis. Yet, Solomon, while gently referencing that era, uses her own intense colors and signature brushwork to present a fresh, innovative vision and bold statements about the fundamental forms of art—color and line, composition and space. Solomon's approach to painting is unique. She often treats her canvases as though they were paper and her paper as though it were canvas. She applies paint to raw canvas allowing it to infuse the fibers like watercolor would, and she adds boldly drawn lines on her paintings. In contrast, Solomon's watercolors and acrylics on paper show the same bravura in the way she works the pigments as do her paintings. Each possesses the artist's distinctive strength and flexibility. She communicates through color, and all it can evoke, and line, with all the strength and subtlety it can express. Solomon's paintings capture the poetry of the soul and invite meditation and reflection.

He-story
Solo Exhibition of "Yongil Park" Date : April 9 - April 29, 2015 Opening Reception: April 9, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm Chelsea, New York Park was inspired by watching the wrapping and unwrapping of belongings and of people moving in and out. Through these landscape series, Park has implied that people have lost their place regardless of their willingness to move. In these series of pictures painted on the surfaces of cloth, the portrayed landscapes of life are distorted depending on how the cloth is wrapped or unwrapped. Perhaps it is inevitable that a picture painted on the form of the bundle looks distorted. Yet viewers’ minds are caught in the distorted picture. Is this because it testifies to our own distorted lives, just as does those unrestricted sites of redevelopment? Park employs the term history as He’s story, or a story told by him. Here, He indicates he and she, Park himself, and us all at the same time. Perhaps all of us are descendants of nomads who traveled constantly. His painting finds its suggestive power in the fact that its subject matters originated from real life and its surroundings. And at the same time, Park does not indulge his ego, instead allowing it to expand into a realm of commonality in which we all empathize.

My Father's House
Solo Exhibition of "Soonmin Choi" Date : April 30 - May 20, 2015 Opening Reception: April 30, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm Chelsea, New York Choi is a Korean born artist working in mixed media on canvas. She paints her father’s house repeatedly, in which she considers as her ‘Museum of Memories filled with gratitude and peace.’ In her poetic transference, it is possible that a picture will move far away from nature and yet find its way back to reality. The faculty of memory, experience at a distance produces pictorial associations. Soonmin Choi graduated from Dongduk Women’s University in Seoul, Korea in the department of Painting, and exhibited in Sinpung Art Museum, Seoul Arts Center, and many other venues. She has participated in numerous art fairs including Daegu Art Fair, Art Expo Malaysia, BAMA, and AAF Singapore.

Affectionate Things
Solo Exhibition of Dongyoon Park Date : June 11 - July 8, 2015 Opening Reception: June 18, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm Chelsea, New York
Dongyoon Park creates paintings that cannot be described simply as pictures. They are sculptural as well. They cannot be described as simply contemporary, as they are referencing and embracing ancient traditions and forms, as well. They cannot be described as solely conceptual, as they embody the artist's philosophy and emotional response to his world as well. All the pieces from the same body of work share the same title – Affectionate Things. The artist describes his approach as his attempt to express the traditional beauty and sensibility of the Korean aesthetic. Park utilizes Korea's revered Hanji paper to construct bas-relief collage compositions that are once modern, and at the same time touching Korea's five thousand year cultural history. His deep affection for the world around him and the world that came before him comes through in his choice of shapes, colors and material.

NEXUS
New Work by Jeon Nak Date : July 9 - September 15, 2015 Opening Reception: July 9, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm Chelsea, New York
For Nexus, Jeon Nak has created a series of exciting lenticular prints that draw the eye into an astonishing three dimensional space. His images contain a symphony of line and color backed with a tremendous illusion of space. In fact, space, illusion and an imaginary sense of cosmic bodies and distances are central to Jeon Nak's work. His 3D trompe l'oeil creations achieve their arresting presence through a meticulous, exacting technical process. Layer upon layer of composition must be placed and processed to arrive at the level of detail seen in these works. Geometric forms are explored and taken to new levels. Circles and lines balance between the picture plane and somewhere deep behind it.

Chance of Choice
New Paintings by Moon LEE Date : September 17 - September 30, 2015 Opening Reception: September 17, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm Chelsea, New York
Volumes have been written about the intersection of Choice and Chance, and how the two determine so many outcomes, both in logic and in life. Here, they result in a unique voice and vision as expressed by LEE in her commanding, suggestive, color-saturated multi-media paintings. In a collection of images of vessels, that suggest of nourishment, abundance, and even welcome, and masks, that hide and obscure, LEE's paintings speak of dichotomies, divergences and distances. Abstractions titled Rain Forest, Meditation, Diversity, Trouble, and Restrain express moods and thoughts only attainable through color and the force or gentility of gesture and line. LEE's resplendent colors, gaining power in their juxta-positioning, speak to a highly personal way of seeing and responding to the world, and leave the viewer with whispers of her imagery remaining in the mind's eye.

Fukushima
Paintings by Yoko Sakai Date : September 17 - September 30, 2015 Opening Reception: September 17, 2015 at 6:00 - 8:00pm Chelsea, New York
Accomplished Japanese artist, Yoko Sakai has, for many years, focused on traces and aftermaths rather than occurrences themselves, harvesting both memory and remains. For this group of works, she traveled to Fukushima, where she had previously found and documented the effects on ocean life of the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant precipitated by the catastrophic tsunami of 2011. Shells of animals whose lives were polluted by radiation, yet which partially cleaned that radiation from the water were her subject. In monochromatic paintings, Sakai depicts stylized versions of a group of girls who remained in the vicinity of the power plant, after a large part of the population relocated. She heard their stories and their concerns for their health, for their future, for their ability to bear children, for their own survival, and was moved to portray these innocents. Yet, they are not completely innocent, Sakai, found. They are still girls, filled with mischievous spirits. And so, she paints them as tender and young, but with pointed ears to depict the hint of devilishness she perceived.
