Art Space Hohwa concludes the year 2023 and welcomes the new year with a special exhibition titled <The Small Things #>, which gathers artworks depicting various moments of small and precious life in our daily routines. Participating artists in the exhibition reinterpret different aspects of life, such as nature, people, and emotions, with their unique visual languages, maintaining a light yet sophisticated approach. The exhibition features a total of 16 contemporary artists from both domestic and international scenes, including Kim Ju-meen, Kwon Sun-young, Koo Na-hyun, Roh Gyung-hwa, Daniel Shin, Tilde Grynnerup, Miguel Ángel Fúnez, Stepper Studio, Yi Sun-geun, Oh Soon-hwan, Olaf Ulbricht, Lee Eun, Im Ji-bin, Yoo Sun-tai, Jung Ji-sook, and Jeong Sae-rom.


The title of the exhibition, <The Small Things #>, signifies a store that seems to have gathered our lives filled with small things. This exhibition aims to offer a unique perspective on our lives from an imaginary art store. It is broadly organized into five areas, capturing aspects of life. A section, composed of works depicting scenes of our lives against a poetic and exotic backdrop, features a variety of landscape paintings. Kim Ju-meen captures landscapes with a thick impasto of vibrant colors from a high vantage point, creating a sense of cutting through our lives. Oh Soon-hwan visualizes warm and gentle abstractions inspired by family and nature. Olaf Ulbricht, a German artist, beautifully expresses the peaceful daily life of a Korean countryside through acrylic painting. Stepper Studio introduces the imaginative portrayal of ordinary daily life among society members, cleverly brought to life through their unique creativity.


In the area that creatively recontextualizes everyday cartoon characters, connecting them to life, we present works by contemporary artists who have deconstructed and reconstructed globally popular cartoon characters. Spanish artist Miguel Ángel Fúnez, known for infusing new sensations by deconstructing and reconstructing widely beloved cartoon characters, brings a fresh perspective by connecting them to everyday life. Lee Eun interprets 2D animation characters and reimagines them through GIFs, portraying brief and dramatic moments in a painterly manner. Im Ji-bin continues the tradition of pop art, drawing inspiration from Bearbrick figures, and amusingly depicts facets of contemporary life. Additionally, in the area focusing on the formal elements of line and color to express the breadth of emotions felt in life, Daniel Shin showcases abstract paintings where various lines converge, creating a composition that appears casually cut out, symbolizing the meaning and emotions of life. Danish artist Tilde Grynnerup presents works expressing thoughts and emotions about equality, self-existence, and life through wood carving.


In the area where artists illuminate their own experiences on canvas using warm colors and diverse figures, we encounter the whimsical depictions of ordinary and familiar subjects from our lives by Koo Na-hyun, capturing them with a touch of humor. Roh Gyung-hwa conveys emotions of hope, longing, and warmth through her artwork, using a palette of warm colors. Yi Sun-geun expresses emotions felt in everyday life with direct and vivid colors, portraying playful figures. Jeong Sae-rom, viewing life as a long journey, expresses it through a variety of colors. Jung Ji-sook sculpts emotions, feelings, and the artist's desires with clay, creating what is known as “living lumps.” Lastly, in the area of constructing unique scenes with objects collected from daily life, Kwon Sun-young engages in collage work, creatively combining collected objects to build a different visual narrative. Yoo Sun-tai transcends time and space, creating a surreal world with everyday objects in his artworks.


The psychological term “Proust Effect” refers to the phenomenon where memories and emotions associated with a particular sensory stimulus, such as a smell or color, are revived. Similar to the protagonist in the novel by the French writer Marcel Proust, who recalls forgotten childhood memories through the taste of a madeleine and tea, the memories of life that have been overlooked come alive through the works created by artists, offering new visual stimuli that allow the audience to encounter joy, nostalgia, or the pain of memories in a fresh and visual manner. Through the exhibition <The Small Things #>, it is hoped that the audience will take a special moment to revisit small and shining memories overlooked in their brief lives, thereby rediscovering the precious values that fill life.
