In celebration of its 10th anniversary, Gallery Mari in Seoul presents an exhibition featuring the works of artist Kim Sunhyeong titled 'GARDEN BLUE, Flower That Is Not a Flower' from May 30th to June 13th. Kim's paintings explore the boundary between reality and form, focusing on the emotions before a flower fully blooms and the essence that transcends its form. His work, inspired by the concept of 'soyou' from Zhuangzi—a Taoist text emphasizing free movement beyond formality—features spontaneous brush strokes that reflect the flow of nature. The blue color in his paintings represents not just a hue but a tangible experience of time and sensation, utilizing bold brushwork to express unspoken emotions and evoke perceptions beyond what is visibly apparent. This exhibition challenges viewers to consider their place in front of art, merging aesthetic beauty with existential exploration.
