ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL I SAMCHEONG introduces 《Heart of the Artist》 - a solo exhibition by AHN Chang Hong (1953-), who has been crafting out critical reflections on reality in his artwork, on show from May 2 to June 30. This solo exhibition is a place where AHN, widely known and critically acclaimed as a painter, will be showcasing new sculptures produced since 2016, including recent works. The exhibition will comprise a total of around 25 new pieces, including a massive relief, masks and paintings. AHN’s works have evolved into a variety of series since the 1970s, as seen in 〈Dangerous Game〉, 〈Spring Day Goes〉, 〈Cyborg〉, and 〈Bed Couch series〉, but they uniformly spring from his gaze toward those who have been victimized by or alienated from corrupt capitalist systems or the survivalist logic of social evolution. This solo exhibition at ARARIO GALLERY aligns with his abiding interest in these topics. AHN’s productions, which effectively capture his perspective and intent, provide the viewers with an opportunity to reflect on their own lives and surroundings.
