incompatible cohesion An ambitious new exhibition at Opera Gallery Seoul puts the works of two leading Korean artists โ€” ByungJin Kim and Dong-Uk Lee and invites visitors to consider the ways in which the artistsโ€™ works overlap or sit in opposition to each other. The two-artist show Incompatible Cohesion features a Korean sculptor and a painter who deal with contrasting themes of anxiety and love respectively but visually represent these two different themes through the visual language of repetition and cohesion, emphasizing the artistsโ€™ different yet overlapping modes of production. Dong-Uk Lee explores into depths of internal emotions such as anxiety and lonliness and uses his signature motif, โ€˜balloonsโ€™ to express these emotions into psychologic landscapes. The balloon landscape highlights the artistโ€™s own interest in current global issues such as terror, natural disasters, and catastrophes. On the other hand, Byung-Jin Kim selects words that best represents contemporary culture and produces sculptures by welding each character of a word continuously to confugurate it into one cohesive piece. Kim and Lee excel in reading the phrase of our times and respond sensitively to the social norms. Lee explores with current issues such as the Namdaemoon fire, plane crash, and exposes the devastating reality through images of mourning people while simultaneously sending the artistโ€™ message of hope and our social responsibility. Meanwhile, Byung-Jin Kim takes specific words and brand names as a means of contemplating the process of these words become a brand or a cultural phenominen in the society inspite of the wordsโ€™ essential, literal meaning. For example, Kimโ€™s most frequent use of the word โ€œLOVEโ€ is the artistโ€™s way of reflecting the cultural phenomenon of love becoming a cultural and commercial trend. At this exhibition, Opera Gallery Seoul delightly reveals โ€˜Balloon & Balloonโ€™, the anticipated collaborative work between the two artists that bring together two different mediums but deal with the overlapping elements and themes such as repetition, cognition, cohesion, creation, diffusion, and gushing of an image. 35 sculptural works by Kim, 29 paintings by Lee and one collaborative piece totaling up to 65 works on display will offer viewers an alternative prism of looking at the world.

Lee Dong-Uk (Korea, 1981~) Lee Dong-Uk was born in Daejeon, South Korea, in 1981 and he was graduated from Chungnam National University. His work is the expression of his own internal anxieties developed by balloons. These balloon represents an obsessive anxiety for the vague existence. Lee Dong-Ukรข€™s signature balloons elucidate a different aspect of modern life, exploring the role of the individual and the power of the masses. Balloons represent the individual psyche to Lee, and he includes them in his images in decorative form or alongside depictions of contemporary events. Each balloon is simultaneously resilient in its ability to withstand outside pressures and feeble in the way it blends into the collective.
