Exhibition Information

			Soohyeok Shin has continuously explored the experiences and relationships of space and time he faces in everyday cities. The exhibition, which runs from Aug. 28 to Oct. 8 at ilwoo space, will present Shin's work that gradually empties features and expresses the essential concepts on the screen in more depth. The exhibition title "Melted Blue" is an expression referring to the blue impression and permeated with light of his work, the image of the melted landscape in our memories, and a color that represents the hollow feelings in it.

Shin experiences a sense of alienation from the urbanized society and the exotic scenery he felt while studying abroad and his childhood playground became a redevelopment site at one point. Feeling more isolated amid the growing urban landscape and the influx of population, he has continued to work on architecture and space-based on his heart-to-heart feelings and memories of inner-mind spaces. In recent works, Shin takes away the building or structure he was recreating from the screen and fills the screen with a simple line. The technique of using colors and those short lines that are piled on top of each other invite us to a place of a deep abyss as if to contain profounding meanings.

Shin explores a more essential notion and offers a keen look that runs through the place in his memory at the same time, allowing visitors to search for deep space of memory beyond that. In this exhibition, you can appreciate the subtle tremors in blue lines and gradually find that dim immersion into an endless abyss. Through Shin's work, we hope it will be a time to find a rich inner ring by slowly facing your memories and relationships of these sceneries.
