Love, Light, Gravity
Love, Light, Gravity is a solo exhibition featuring 19 works by artist Chaeri Kim.
Chaeri Kim (b. 1995, Busan, South Korea) is a visual artist currently residing in Seoul, South Korea. Having completed her bachelor’s in Fine Art (B.A.) at Seoul National University of Science and Technology in Seoul, South Korea, her practice explores new rhythms of relationships between spiritual and fantastical personal episodes in a progressively commercialized and objectified world. Her charcoal drawings and digital collages expand and morph into other physical forms of medium such as painting, printing, weaving, tufting and mixed media installation.
“This is my dream journal, my own records of emotions and daily log turn into the language of graphite or ink on paper and the digital collage on screen. It mainly deals with images produced in the world of consciousness and unconsciousness, and I capture the most primitive feelings found in the moment that comfort me, give me anxiety, pain, sadness and happiness.
The images I irrationally draw on paper or screen consist of a mixture of history, mystery and a gift/present. I like to visualize the data collected from reality and screens which I call ‘unreality/surreality’. Stereotypes of typical roles portrayed in society, violent news — crimes, wars, poverty, and natural disasters occurring in everyday life, are faded away and cloyed by shallow layers such as algorithmic Ad pop-up windows.”
