The World Comes To Resemble Us
Work by Youngseok Gwon
Date : April 23 - May 6, 2014
Opening Reception: April 24, 2014 at 6:00 - 8:00pm
Chelsea, New York
The perfectly quadrilateral cement buildings outside your window are the main subject of Youngseok
Gwon's work. He sees the desolate city in ourselves. Gwon mirrors the dialectic of modern day urban
existence in his artwork. The perpetual yearning for nature while inhabiting the cold cement and steel life
in a crowded city. The mind splinters as it tries to detach from its urban creation. Gwon's startling paintings
capture the essence of a person's soul crying out for peace. A peace that is not forth coming through
man's own actions.
