Soluna Fine Art is proud to present the first solo exhibition of Korean contemporary artist Oh Se-Yeol with the gallery. Known as a ‘master painter’ in Korea, Oh has embarked on a creative journey for over five decades. The exhibition will showcase Oh’s latest works completed between 2022 and 2024, along with selected oeuvres from the past. Inheriting the essence of Korean monochrome movement, Oh challenges the conventional notions of paintings by incorporating scribbles, objects and collages into his works. Covering the monochromatic background with repetitive numbers, sometimes interrupted by the presence of everyday objects, Oh’s works resemble a childhood diary or chalkboard doodles. He uses simple pictorial language, in which each symbol is open to interpretation, inviting the audiences to reconnect with their own memory and reclaim the lost innocence of their inner child.
Opening reception on 14 March (Thurs) at 6 – 8 pm.
Gallery address: G/F, 52 Sai Street, Sheung Wan
