			KÖNIG SEOUL is pleased to present a solo exhibition of paintings by German artist Johannes Wohnseifer. More than 20 works from the last five years will be on display, providing an overview of the artist's distinct work groups – text-based, password, and aluminium paintings – on a variety of surfaces, from canvas to MDF to aluminium.

In his art, Wohnseifer engages with themes derived from popular culture as well as art and design history, analysing the particularities of everyday life through the lens of mass media. He collects found images and texts, combining historical events with contemporary phenomena, investigating the possibilities of painting through his chosen materials and imaginative use of industrial processes.

The title of the exhibition, THE ELLA IN UMBRELLA, alludes to both pop icon Rihanna's former hit song, “Umbrella”, as well as a simple linguistic repetition, one of the most significant structural principles for Wohnseifer's creative process.
