Kim Young-hyun presents a solo exhibition 'Seonjam' at Kimreeaa Gallery in Seoul, featuring over 20 new pieces filled with incomplete senses and sculptural experiments on thin cloth. The term 'Seonjam' refers to a shallow sleep or the state between sleep and reality where illusions and senses arise. Kim explores the blurred boundaries between reality and unreality through his art. The exhibition runs until the 16th and includes both paintings and iron sculptures arranged with unique placement. The artist, studying for a master's in Oriental Painting at Seoul National University, uses traditional materials like oyster-shell powder for his work, giving it a soft texture. This second solo exhibition reveals Kim's fascination with medieval armor and his creative arrangement of works.
