As skin works as a protective, discerning barrier for what is within, the artists have worked to open up that barrier to communicate and be vulnerable with the audience. This exhibition showcases 17 flat works, revealing the true colors of and under the skins corresponding to each painting, literally and metaphorically.

—
Since the Dansaekhwa movement, Korean paintings have had a strong historical connection with the concept of “skins.” This notion has further developed in recent years, as what was initially perceived as a resemblance has now progressed into a more complex relationship. More artists are starting to resolve various conflicts—technical, psychological, social, and emotional—through flat, skin-esque surfaces. A canvas could now become a playground where complicated emotions and mixed feelings coexist and cohabit, much like the ever-changing definition of “Chaemyeon”(체면, directly translated as “face,” is how someone is perceived in society). The interchanging faces in this exhibition are made up of very distinct and personal mediums ranging from soil collected from traditional Korean houses to tattoo ink embedded in silicone to timeless painting mediums like acrylic & oil. This medley of earthly hues, intentional textures, and purposeful strokes opens up an inquisitive space where the audience is asked to assess the manner of what the skins of contemporary Korean paintings carry.

This exhibition is curated by @phil.z.cai and is accompanied by a critical essay by @kmhown

@artsy ‘s Post-Modern and Contemporary auction is now LIVE! Cereus Art is honored to have curated the first 31 lots with 21 incredible artists— alongside works by Yayoi Kusama, Roy Lichtenstein, Amoako Boafo, Sam Gilliam and so many more ✨

Our artists benefit from a 15% commission rate, walking away from the sale with a much greater portion of profits than they would with a typical commercial gallery. For this auction, a portion of the buyer’s premium will be donated to @theorchidfdn , benefiting underserved women and girls in higher education.
