			Sejin Kwon’s latest solo exhibition title <Perpetual> alludes to both the perpetual calendars--the subject of his work--and to his long-explored idea of “recurrent hours and the mundane.” A significant portion of Kwon’s previous works were based on photographic reference, namely landscapes he photographed himself. The photoreference method was a means to capture the extraordinary from the ordinary, a glimmer of his individual remembrance and spirit. However, the artist wanted to paint something less idiosyncratic and more ecumenical in its imagery, as he felt such works would help more people connect to his ideas. And that is what he has done, minimizing and even tempering and curtailing the image to kindle the affective and mnemonic glimmer to a more evident glow.
