Art Space Hohwa hold the year-end exhibition โŸชNaïve RealismโŸซ, featuring Eliza Gosse, Samuel Condon, Lee Jeongwoong, and Hwang Dayeon. The exhibition title, “Naïve realism,” refers to a materialist theory suggesting that humans can fully perceive external objects. The robust architectural structures and convincing arrangement of objects in their works evoke the feeling of a film set, offering a modern reinterpretation of still-life painting, which gained popularity across Europe as the Renaissance waned. While their intention was to translate ordinary day onto the canvas, paradoxically, a new narrative emerges from these uncontrived scenes.

Eliza Gosse, who originally studied architecture, is captivated by post-war styles and mid-century design, constructing her canvases with precise lines and restrained color palettes. Her works exude a sense of comfort and abundant happiness, reflecting her daily life of reading books, listening to the news, writing a journal, and painting. Scenes such as the swaying grass in a garden glimpsed through the window while eating cereal in the morning, or the sight of ripe kumquats on a tree during a languid afternoon, become the work’s titles. Using muted tones, she captures the nostalgia of bygone days, portraying moments tinged with happiness, reminiscent of vintage magazines and old family photographs.

Samuel Condon recreates imperial portraits and European museum collections that frequently appear in classical art history, focusing on the recurring imagery of imperialism. In Western art history, equestrian portraits—especially those depicting emperor like Napoleon during the era of French imperialism—symbolize heroism and imply absolute authority. Samuel divides the ground beneath the horse and the infinite space above it into two monochromatic colors. The horse in his painting, much like Edward Hopper’s figures casting long shadows, carries an air of solitude. The horses in the middle are drawn to fit the size of a small canvas, are displayed side by side like individual still lifes, expanding into a desolate realm of twelve temporal and spatial dimensions.

Lee Jeongwoong paints scenes left behind after torrential rains have swept through. Buildings reduced to pillars or rooftops, marble tiles that seem to be either floating or flying, and staircases sinking into the ground. In these spaces, there is nowhere left to hide. The sacrificed lives cannot leave the place, and they have remained in the ruined place and dance. The utopia he has never dared to dream of takes “The Blue Flower,” drifting from the left to the right of the canvas. By imbuing real objects with a surreal way of existence, he pursues the formal beauty that can be encapsulated in the flatness of painting. As the narrative of individual images fades, a natural, formal unity emerges—a unity that is the reason he creates beautiful paintings.

As suggested by the title Holiday, Hwang Dayeon’s work serves as a signpost leading to Pantopia, a personalized paradise for each. While her previous works explored the theme of renewal in nature, her latest creations shift focus to more familiar settings, such as neighborhood alleyways. The artist studies color combinations and compositions that evoke emotional stability, aiming to depict the most comforting scenes within her canvases. She juxtaposes seemingly contextless objects such as plaster busts, ducks, and beach balls, against these backgrounds. The plaster bust, one of the objects most familiar to her, acts as a wake-up call from an idyllic paradise. While the duck, as a natural element, suggests that this imagined utopia is safe.

The four artists paint by stripping historical objects of their allegorical meanings. In their works, traditional contexts become irrelevant. Instead, countless memories with people—revisited as one reflects on the year—could project onto the canvas. At the same time, a gentle warmth may emerge as viewers anticipate the unfamiliar digits of the coming year in the cold of winter. I hope you will enjoy the beautiful scenes through this exhibition and have warmth as the year ends and a new one begins
