'Art should be more playful' : Shara Hughes, Austin Eddy invite us to fruit stand
Married couple opens first collaborative exhibition at Galerie Eva Presenhuber showroom in Seoul. Brooklyn-based artists Shara Hughes and Austin Eddy, partners since 2012 and married for the past two years, present their first-ever collaboration in Seoul. Centered on the theme of fruit, the show offers a glimpse into the couple's inner world through playful, yet introspective imagery. While their works appear similar due to the shared theme, they vary in terms of form and colors the artists used. Their paintings on display here speak about the artists themselves, but the stories deal with subjects in different aspects. They titled the exhibition 'Roots n' Fruits,' which is being held at the Galerie Eva Presenhuber's showroom in Seoul located in Hannam-dong. The gallery space is decorated with green stripes as a reference to fruit stands in France, they said. 'It is a sort of a way of asking people to come in and enjoy, as if you were sort of coming into a fruit stand,' Hughes said Wednesday. Eddy added that they wanted art to become more playful and fun, rather than too academic and heavy. Hughes' 'Just Peachy' painting shows a trunk, branch and foliage transformed into a red-green table of lines, creating the illusion of grass and leaves. The peach tree can be seen as herself — like a self-portrait — the artist said, adding that she is from Georgia, the US state famous for its affinity for peaches. 'The tree is speaking about how you grow and how you change,' she said. 'It is almost thinking about where your roots come from. And how it (a tree) grows, gets abstracted and changes throughout your life.' Eddy's painting of fruit in 'All Great And Precious Things' features cherries, bananas, pears and apples all together, showing different stages of decay. Unlike Hughes, he emphasizes demarcation in form and color. 'You have this rotting banana and then these two cherries — one is young and the other one is quite old,' Eddy said. "In essence, it is a larger conversation about time and sort of addressing selfness." An apple is horizontally cut in half in the painting 'Vulnerable,' created with watercolors, gouache and colored pencil, as though vulnerability is revealed with inner portions of the apple exposed. 'It is like that feeling when you expose yourself, sort of like me in this interview,' Eddy said. The European gallery has operated its showroom in Seoul since last year in collaboration with P21, a homegrown gallery in Seoul, after joining Frieze Seoul beginning in 2022. Managing director Andreas Grimm said the gallery is keeping an eye on the city as another art hub in Asia. 'We have been really welcomed here and wanted to be looked as a guest here. For us, it is nice to have the small space,' he said. 'We are very open, and we are always very flexible with a lot of ideas. We will go with the flow, and we will see what the future brings, and the momentum is something important.' The exhibition runs through May 17 at the showroom located at 74 Hoenamu-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

How nature is viewed by artists
Three galleries in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, open new exhibitions Here is a selection of three exhibitions that opened this week in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, that you might consider checking out this weekend as temperatures rise back above freezing. Nature interpreted in different ways at Galerie Eva Presenhuber, P21 The exhibition 'Perpetual World' is the fourth solo exhibition -- and the first in Seoul -- by Iowa-based artist John Dilg, whose work is presented in a dedicated showroom located in Yongsan-gu. Inspired by nature, the paintings create a tranquil and comforting atmosphere. Dilg draws on his experiences in his native American Midwest, encompassing metaphors and abstractions in his paintings. The exhibition, at Galerie Eva Presenhuber pop-up showroom (74 Hoenamu-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul) runs through March 30 and is open by appointment. About 70 meters down the street is P21 gallery, which is showing the exhibition 'Land of Origins' by two emerging artists -- sculptor Lee Chung-kook and painter Jo Han-na. Both artists explore the theme of life, each expressing it through different materials and methods to reveal fundamental similarities between nature and the human interior. Jo's paintings, featuring multiple layers of points, give an impression of viewing the inside of the human body or organs. At the same time, they are reminiscent of roots grabbing onto the earth. Lee creates 3D-printed volumetric sculptures of plants, vines, spider webs and tentacle mosquitoes. 'A sculpture gives a context of the space once it is put on there. That is why I make sculptures,' the artist told reporters Wednesday during a press viewing. Alvaro Barrington at Thaddaeus Ropac Gallery The exhibition 'Soul to Seoul' at Thaddaeus Ropac Seoul introduces London-based artist Alvaro Barrington to Korea for the first time. The artist draws on his experience growing up in the Caribbean, blending his personal memories with art-historical references, according to the gallery. Frequently using burlap canvases, the artist takes motifs and techniques from cultural influences of his early life in Grenada in the Caribbean and Brooklyn, New York. The works shown at the exhibition, such as 'NHC 2024/Mangrove Sunset (L10),' reference quilt-making techniques and the Caribbean history of artistic expression through fabric and sewing. 'Art is about learning how to be, painting is about what is in front of you, it is about learning to see,' the artist once said about his art. The exhibition runs through April 12. The gallery is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
