    The New Year's exhibition of Art Space Hohwa, ใ€ŠPARAXISใ€‹ sheds light on the work of four artists who construct a fantasy screen in which the reality and unreality coexist through actual objects - people and landscapes - reconstructed in their own pictorial language. Their borderline paintings do not embody things from a different world that do not exist, nor fully reproduce the objects in front of them. With their own drawing techniques, the four artists call out the hidden beings or those that have bounced out of the reality. Thus, those beings unfold on a fascinating screen, visualizing suppressed desires and memories, and revealing the other side of the world. ใ€ŠPARAXISใ€‹ exhibits the artworks of Kim Hyeree, Lee Jae-heon, Ha Ji-hoon, and Hong Seong-joon, who drew shapes on a borderline crossing the realm of reality and fantasy to examine how the fantastic images expressed by them appropriate the world.


    Kim Hyeree collects, mixes, and reconstructs commercial arts used in barbershop paintings, feng shui artworks, and gifts. These images give a sense of vicarious satisfaction. Meanwhile, they also accompany a sense of loss which comes from the gap between the ideal and reality, due to the fact that they are popularized classical art that was previously enjoyed. Kim’s well-drawn institutional and non-institutional paintings are cut out of the existing context and placed in the wrong context at the same time, creating familiarity and eccentricity, making viewers pay attention. She intends to ask ontological questions about contemporary desires by modeling backward-compatible ideal art images through imitation and reproduction in a new context.

    Lee Jae-heon goes back and forth between sharpness and blurring with brushstrokes of erasing, drawing an anonymous human who is unclear and a mysterious space in which the time series are unknown. While the human faces are expressed hazy and thin, the icons that can be read as flowers are drawn clearly with a very thick texture, causing a gap in the general perception of reality. Lee visualizes the conflicting inner desires indescribable through ambiguous figurative paintings derived from the clash of conflicting techniques and textures, and silently explores his own world of painting that cannot be replaced by language.

    Ha Ji-hoon builds layers of paint as if sculpting, reconstructing the landscape in a vague memory into the image of a mysterious, bizarre stone. He has experienced many cities due to frequent migration since his childhood. For him, the landscape has been an eternal and ever-changing theme. Ha painstakingly designates the colors and positions to build a sense of the scenery in his childhood as a whole, and then paints with his hands without a brush or tools. His surrealistic masses, which seem to glow quietly in the thick darkness, can be said to be the result of condensing various synesthetic impressions received from past landscapes into a single image.

    Hong Seong-joon explores the infinite possibilities of painting by varying the traditional methodology of painting, material properties, and representation. He divides the exclusive landscape images taken by himself into individual layers and draws them as if overlapping them with the other layers of color-field. The elaborately crafted realm of representation and the layers of the color-field that offset it collide within one screen, summoning simultaneously reality and illusion. Hong does not annotate his work, and advances without guidance, fueled by his curiosity and affection for the medium of painting.


    The title of the exhibition, “PARAXIS,” is an optical term meaning a virtual space between the lens and the target where nothing exists. In this space, numerous lights that deviate by a slight difference spread, besides the single ray of light passing through the lens. Shadows of the real appear like ghosts, but they are distinctly different from the beings. In other words, it is an ambiguous place that is closely connected to reality but different from it. Rosie Jackson, a researcher of fantastic literature, likened this borderline state of asymptotic axis, which is based on reality but separated from it, to “a place where fantasy appears.” According to her, in this place, the concealed things are exposed, and the collision with reality causes unfamiliar and heterogeneous inspiration, overturning the existing rules and opening the perspective. The artworks of this exhibition also depict the real and the unreal, as well as shapes placed in unclear positions floating between the external and internal worlds. The exhibition ใ€ŠPARAXISใ€‹ crosses and penetrates the boundary between the fantasy and reality to bring the “hidden world” here and now. Through this, it will allow viewers to escape from the old existence and freshly realize the world.
