"Paradise": Ryu Ji Sun Solo Exhibition

Opening Reception: 7pm, 26th November, 2009
Exhibition Period: 27 November – 10 December, 2009

Ryu Ji Sun creates from the imagination, deconstructing the order of nature in his artworks through fragments of bold forms and colors. From 2D paintings to 3D installation pieces, apples (the cause of the original sin from paradise), grapes and peaches grow from the same tree or organic matter in the artist’s creations. Ryu explores the mysterious ways in which fruits, plants, nature and human activity intertwine, encapsulating the audience into the artworks’ surreal but vivid paradise.

Graduated with a M.F.A. from the Department of Fine Arts at Seoul National University, and has exhibited extensively in Seoul, Beijing and Shanghai. “Paradise” will be the artist’s debut solo exhibition in Hong Kong.

This exhibition encourages the audience to act as detective in recreating an identity from the indististinct images witness the emerging Korean contemporary art scene.
