Seoul, August 7 – September 5, 2015, http://www.cornerartspace.org
One huge oil painting, pinned to the wall without a frame or stretcher, in a greyscale covered the one main wall of the shop window/space of corner gallery. Formally, it was a still life, with objects of an uncertain material arranged in a row, like in a museum display. The grey scale used to execute the painting reminded me of the default non-color used in 3D modelling software. 
It was a painting, based on ‘real’ objects, but with its colors, it seemed as if the painter would be denying the ‘real-ness’ of the objects. The objects themselves and one small painting were the only other artwork displayed, in a small niche in a side room. They were unidentifiable, wrapped in plastic foil, same as they were painted.
As a whole, Hong Soun seemed to have created a web of interlinking mutual references, that lead nowhere besides themselves: Pure forms without content referring to themselves only, referenced in a painting equally self-referential and content-less as the forms depicted.
