			Pace is pleased to present an exhibition of new works by Matthew Day Jackson at its arts complex in Seoul.
Running from July 7 to August 19, the show, titled Counter-Earth and marking Jackson’s first solo exhibition in Seoul, will spotlight four otherworldly landscape paintings and one mesmeric seascape painting created by the artist this year. The paintings included in Counter-Earth—which will be installed on the gallery’s ground floor—are part of the same body of work that Jackson presented this spring in Against Nature, his debut solo exhibition with Pace in New York.

In his expansive practice spanning painting, sculpture, installation, collage, drawing, photography, video, and performance, Jackson explores a wide range of subjects, often grappling with notions of American national identity and pursuits of false utopia throughout the country’s history. In his research-based, experimental process, the artist considers conceptual and physical underpinnings equally significant, incorporating traditional, industrial, and found materials in his work across mediums. At the core of his practice is a deep interest in finding similarities within binaries and dichotomies, particularly the simultaneity of beauty and horror.
