The solo exhibition ”To You, Walking in the Sun,“ by the contemporary artist who expresses emotional comfort through charcoal lines, will be held at PBG Hannam from May 3rd to 22nd. This exhibition serves as a retrospective of the artist’s work during a three-month residency in Sète, France in 2023, tracing their journey based on Vincent van Gogh‘s letters and sharing their experiences in Southern France, Paris, and Amsterdam as archived memories.
Seeking lines that comfort the heart, the artist says that imagining the coziness of being indoors, moderate splendor, and fruits rolling in the sun arouses the sensation of good feelings. Having done work based on drawings, the artist focuses on revealing through lines the immediacy of drawing as well as the visibility of various concepts that are occasionally revealed raw. Through a warm gaze, ubiquitous but not visible to everyone, the artist attempts to convey a bright and cheerful energy to modern people living busy everyday lives.
Rondi Park examines the extremely personal traces surrounding desires and expands the category to popular sympathy and social phenomena. The artist who collects fragments of desire seething in a capitalist society and develops them into various media - such as painting, textiles, performance, and ceramics - develops her own narrative using the constantly reproduced desires as a medium.
