Exhibition Information

			Gana Art Nineone is pleased to announce a solo exhibition Imperfection Equals… of Seoul-based artist yoohee (b.1991-) who documents the utterly private scenes of ordinary life and paints onto her canvases with a unique twist. Since yoohee’s first solo exhibition with the opening of Gana Art Sounds in 2018, the artist has presented a series of paintings that blends her day-to-day activities with personal thoughts and emotions. Breaking away from her body of work that was centered around self-portraits, yoohee excludes herself from the screen and boldly captures imageries of the diverse wonders of the natural world by featuring stone walls, butterflies and snowy landscapes. In addition, the exhibition highlights a large number of small-scale sculptures in which yoohee works to mimic daily objects such as yogurt bottles, watches, chewing gum on the tongue and even chip crumbs and recreates in ceramics. The ceramic sculptures are involved with highly variable and unpredictable features resulted from the burning, baking and drying process inside a kiln. Thus yoohee’s creations derived from everyday plans and items present imperfect forms and shapes so that they are often encountered as unfamiliar objects placed in the gap between the daily and non-daily routine. Ultimately, by sharing her daily life, yoohee enables the viewers to discover the self-definition and natural meaning behind and to see life in abundance from a variety of perspectives.
