2023 Korean Young Artists Series: Dreamy
May 25 – July 22, 2023
Korean Cultural Center, Hong Kong

Participating Artists
RYU Yaerim
PARK Gwangsoo
SONG Sumin

The Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong highlights the works of three artists, PARK Gwangsoo, SONG Sumin and RYU Yaerim, on the theme of dreams and implicit possibilities. These artists leading Korean contemporary painting establish their art world on the canvas through different methodologies. Although the techniques, methods of expression and the themes they would reveal through their works are different, there is a common keyword in the works of the artists, which is 'the possibility arising from ambiguity’

The paintings of RYU Yaerim show the boundless possibilities narrative the art can have. RYU stated the reason of painting exotic characters and backgrounds in her paintings is because “those unfamiliar characters and places enable infinite time that cannot be limited as they cannot be defined and calculated.” In addition, the artist leads an active yet unkind narrative structure through two communication methods- painting itself and its title. Both the painting and the title contain a very clear message without abstraction, However, it is full of mysterious factors for the audience to think about. The room for interpretation is open to the viewers with the different angle from the abstract paintings.
