Gallery Henoch

555 W 25th St

SungHee Jang is a young South Korean artist and recent graduate of the MFA program at the School of Visual Arts. Her work was featured in a traveling exhibition curated by Dan Cameron last summer. SungHee’s debut solo exhibition will be in New York at Gallery Henoch from February 21st – March 15th, 2008. A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, February 21st from 6-8pm.

SungHee strives to decode the relationship between materiality and “nothingness” through the use of light and reflection. The artist depicts scenes of highly polished architectural elements in which floors and walls seemingly implode to reveal vast empty spaces. Vividly hued and bright white reflections appear amorphous and ethereal in contrast to the rigid structural elements. Paradoxically, it is within the voided spaces that we find the most substance. These washed-out planes assume an emotional presence and psychological weight that demand our attention. In giving “nothingness” a unique existence of its own, it is stripped of its inherently negative value, and given one that is adamantly positive.
