presents Roh Choong-Hyun’s solo exhibition, 《Scenery
along the Edge》, on view until March 8. Roh has long
captured fleeting moments of life while drifting through the city of Seoul,
consistently translating urban spaces closely intertwined with his own life
onto the canvas.
This
exhibition serves as a continuation of his 2021 solo show 《Shade》, which depicted scenes from
Hongjecheon, and features 16 new works. The paintings in this exhibition
encapsulate the atmosphere and sentiment of Seoul as perceived through a sense
of distanced observation.

the artist wanders through urban landscapes, contemplating and witnessing
change, his paintings also traverse the transitions between seasons and the
flow of life. As viewers follow the imagery of Hongjecheon, they may find
themselves arriving at a vague yet familiar moment buried within their own
memories.
