Sangheeut presents its first exhibition of 2025 with a group exhibition, titled 《Senses Already Sensed》, featuring works by Hana Kim, Nosik Lim, and Jinyong Park.

The exhibition brings together new works by Hana Kim, Nosik Lim, and Jinyong Park, who explore invisible sensations through painting. Each artist employs a distinct approach to delve into sensory interactions that go beyond visual perception, uncovering traces of a world that cannot be reached solely through seeing or being seen. Each artist takes a unique approach to investigating the sensory connections that lie beneath the surface of perception.

Hana Kim constructs her own abstract world by exploring the materiality of painting—canvas, frame, paint, color, and texture. Kim’s approach embraces vulnerability, presenting works that interact with their surroundings. Her paintings often layer surfaces—walls, frames, and thin fabrics—to create dynamic compositions that invite viewers into new sensory experiences and painterly possibilities.

Nosik Lim reimagines his observations of the world around him as painterly landscapes. His creative process begins when a specific scene captures his attention, yet his focus extends beyond the visible, exploring microscopic and intangible elements such as air and atmosphere.

Jinyong Park examines the intersection of language, the body, and sensory experiences, transforming them into her own distinctive painterly language. Park records words and thoughts from daily life, analyzing them through emotional, psychological, and physical lenses.

She uses the sound and meaning of words, alongside personal memories, to construct forms and colors, resulting in works that resemble a personal visual “hieroglyph.”

This exhibition seeks to expand our understanding of the world by showcasing works that capture subtle, fleeting (non)sensations in objects, landscapes, and language.
