"In Between" Exhibition
Gana Art Gallery
This event has ended.
The show will be held on the second floor of the gallery and will be comprised of seven works on canvas and linen. Each work will be shown with a photo-relief sketch. This exhibition will be of particular interest as it is this young artist's very first gallery exhibition. The concept of "in between" is central to Jenny Cho's exhibition as she explores realms of the visible and the invisible. Influenced by pioneers from various art historical movements who have focused on perspective, Cho attempts to take their study of the complexity of human visual perception and perspectives one step further -- by bridging what is actually seen with our eyes and what exists in our mind. She begins this process with the modern tool of the camera, which acts as her eye in capturing, from various angles, her subject matter that exists in three dimensions. These shifts in perspective are essential to Cho's works, as she relies on her intuition to optimize the visual experience of her artistic narration. Using photo cut-outs of these settings and floating them on various planes with wire, Jenny Cho constructs sculptural photo-relief sketches which serve in guiding her as she paints them back onto a two-dimensional surface, which represents the mind.
