Captivating Artistry: Bin Woo-hyuk’s Solo Exhibition Unveils Stunning Masterpieces

Bin Woo-hyuk Presents Stunning Artwork in Solo Exhibition “Die Everjagd”

Renowned artist Bin Woo-hyuk is captivating art enthusiasts with his latest solo exhibition titled “Die Everjagd” at Gallery Barton in Seoul. The exhibition, set to commence on the 12th, showcases a series of 49 drawings that capture the intense energy and tension between humans and animals.

Inspiration from Tiergarten Park

During leisurely walks in Tiergarten Park, Bin Woo-hyuk found inspiration in the mesmerizing landscapes and sculptures. Despite facing challenges due to calcific tendinitis, the artist successfully transferred these captivating scenes onto canvas, resulting in the birth of the powerful drawing series “Die Everjagd.”

Translating Landscapes into 2D Art

One of the artist’s main challenges was how to translate the visible landscapes into a two-dimensional plane. Bin Woo-hyuk dedicated considerable effort to filter out and condense the unseen information inherent in the landscapes, ensuring a depth of expression in his artwork.

Mature and Flexible Artistic Approach

Unexpected periods of rest have led to a more mature and flexible artistic approach evident in Bin Woo-hyuk’s latest creations showcased in this exhibition. The artist’s time spent in Berlin has undeniably influenced the evolution of his art, resulting in a collection of works that captivate viewers with their depth and flexibility.

Revealing the Essence of Nature

Gallery Barton describes this exhibition as a departure from Bin Woo-hyuk’s previous works, focusing on vast landscapes. Instead, the artist now emphasizes micro-subjects such as the surface of water or moss around trees. These subjects are expressed with abstract and vibrant colors, enabling viewers to experience the essence of nature from a fresh perspective.
