Minchul Song

“…It has been Song Minchul’s consistent tendency to imply that, like an arc reminding one of the rest of the arcs, one visible thing is not everything. Moreover, his works are always in between other things and cannot be categorically defined. Using lines between dots, sides between lines, and spaces between sides, he creates a variety of shapes. His drawing of a photo does not aim for representation, ... Seeing and cognition are not just a collection of separate responses to a stimulus but enabled by the overall unity of shape and comprehension of its structure. Song constantly awakens such properties of perception and cognition in the field of visual art and makes us think twice about every phenomenon we have taken for granted. He is committed to enabling seeing the invisible.”
Excerpt from 〈Seeing the invisible - Shin Hyeyoung Art Critic〉
