Installation view of 《Still Life》 © EVERYDAYMOOONDAY Gallery
《Still Life》 presents two artists, NOH SEOK
MEE and GWON O SANG each with distinct worldviews. Gwon presents twenty
sculptural works and Noh presents sixteen paintings on the topic of everyday
still lifes in unusual perspectives.
《Still Life》 refers to
inanimate objects like plants, fruits and books. As if to put this definition
to shame, still lifes in the artists’ works linger around us resting or waiting
to be called by someone. Still life is like the memories of someone’s every
moment laid upon one on top another. It depicts daily life.
《Still Life》 focuses on the two
artists’ unique approach to reinventing still lifes, away from the formalized
structure and method of the past. It hopes to create a new interpretation in
the current time and space of the exhibition space. We hope the viewers see
beyond the current perspective through the works and space of this exhibition,
rekindling individual emotion and memories relevant to the objects.
