Gallery Joeun in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, is hosting "Still," a two-person exhibition featuring Baek Yun-jo (b. 1980) and Tatsuhito Horikoshi (b. 1985), through Dec. 5.
The exhibition draws on the dual meaning of "still" — a frozen moment and a state that endures — to spotlight the two artists' contrasting painterly perspectives on the human figure. Baek captures the movement of everyday figures through spare forms and vivid color, while Horikoshi employs precise brushwork and subtle tonal contrasts to lend an otherworldly atmosphere to quiet, static portraits.
