PBG is pleased to present “Agony the Sublime”, a solo exhibition of Lim Miryang. Pioneering the new painterly movement, Lim is a female abstract artist whose spectrum of artistic career expands internationally. The exhibition showcases her artistic vision of exposing personal experience and emotions. The title, “Agony the Sublime”, implies her profound immersion in abstract art that is sublimated into her colors and visual language as well as providing a hint for her future works.
The keyword for this exhibition is “wind”: it allows the viewers to read various directions of her memory and emotions. For Lim, wind is colorless, odorless, and formless; it leaves no traces. Unfixed, the wind flows eternally. Wind is indefinable, it perpetually flows and transforms by itself. Lim’s brushstrokes, like wind, doesn’t settle for one and endlessly seeks for changes, connecting the inside and outside of the canvas. She will continue to lead the dynamic world of wind.
Lim Miryang reveals endlessly expanding abstract images with vivid colors of shamanism and specifies her traces of vision resulting in works that exudes dynamic sense rather than stationary. Her works are characterized by highly meticulous contours and bold colors of feelings.
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.
