Art Space Hohwa hosts a group exhibition titled <Inside Out>, featuring four female artists from South Korea: An So-hyun, Yi Seula, Lee Do-dam, and Ota. The title of the exhibition, “Inside Out,” literally means “to reverse the inner and outer surfaces.” Recently, during the pandemic, there has been a frequent expression of the disruption of physical interpersonal relationships and the difficulty of communication. However, paradoxically, due to these societal changes, there has been a strong tendency on online platforms and social media to present and communicate another self-image that one desires to show to others, which is carefully crafted. In this exhibition, by paying attention to such societal trends, we aim to provide an opportunity to reflect on oneself by flipping the inner and outer aspects through various representations of “self” depicted in different ways.


The artists participating in the exhibition <Inside Out> express human emotions or raw emotions directly through characters. At the same time, they artistically reproduce the hidden reasons found at the boundary between the persona, which serves as a kind of medium representing the artist, virtual spaces, and everyday life. The “other self” presented by the artists through intuitively anthropomorphized character images, landscapes, and colors becomes a new turning point that evokes deep empathy within us. Especially, this exhibition, comprised of female artists in their 30s and 40s, goes beyond the artists themselves and their individual lives, reflecting the zeitgeist in their artistic world. It shows their own perspectives on the unprocessed selves and the intricately intertwined social landscapes within the contemporary era.


An So-hyun continues her painting work by following the path of her heart with her characteristic warm gaze, blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction. She captures everyday life, travel, or landscapes from somewhere unseen with her unique perspective. The images she depicts on the canvas are concrete yet metaphorical, conveying fleeting moments and psychological ripples with gentle, rich colors and delicate lines that are not burdensome. Especially, scenes explored through street view maps, which serve as the motifs for her work, capture unadorned moments of ordinary people and reconstruct them, presenting a new narrative.


Yi Seula confronts the lives of modern urban dwellers intertwined with the landscapes of the city, visualizing their underlying aspects through her paintings. The varied and colorful depictions of people going about their lives and the densely packed square windows of the building forest symbolically reveal the rules and frameworks of life hidden within the city. Through her unique visual language, she captures the ordinary people and the emergence of vague thoughts and intimate reasons in the realms of daily life both inside and outside the windows, unfolding her own perspective.


Lee Do-dam raises questions about the attribute of “deficiency” inherent in human beings, and continues her painting work by borrowing imaginary characters from her imagination. She gathers together the understanding and deficiencies towards oneself and others, as well as the conflicting emotions and aspects of the varied relationships, into anonymous portrait images. Characters devoid of expressions, vibrant colors, and a dreamy atmosphere collide within a single screen, projecting our own reflections and the artist’s profound contemplation on deficiency.


Ota presents painting works depicting various aspects of life through portraits of contemporary youth. With delicate brushstrokes, simple lines, and combinations of bright colors, she reconstructs the coexistence of bright and dark facets of life and emotions, creating new painterly images. The characters with indifferent expressions and a languid atmosphere encapsulate layers of self that are stacked upon each other, intertwining the past, present, and future.


The artworks traverse between the realistic and the surreal, employing the artist’s unique painterly expression to visualize their own personas within the canvas. The exhibition <Inside Out> aims to draw attention to the beginning of the narrative by showcasing familiar yet somehow unfamiliar figures, revealing our own alternate “selves” created within life through their distinctive artistic expressions.
