Perrotin Hong Kong is pleased to present A Scenery of Time, a solo exhibition of Korean artist Shim Moon-Seup, whose essential themes encompassing his oeuvre are ‘nature’ and ‘temporality’. Shim continuously strives to pursue the quest for how to perceive and express them with the infinite possibilities of arts beyond the standardized genres and media.

A Scenery of Time, the artist’s first exhibition with the gallery, features paintings in which the artist has been engaged over the recent fifteen years in examining the theme of reverence for nature and its circulation. The artist, who spent more than forty years exploring the inherent properties of the materials as a sculptor, has borrowed landscapes (借景) from his hometown Tongyeong and expanded the spirit of ‘anti-sculpture’, an expression granted to his unique practice by art critics, through paintings.

In the late 1960s of Korea when the limited knowledge of arts overseas was available, Shim, with an urge to the new art, founded the Third Formative Association with his colleagues and participated in the AG (Avant-Garde) movement in the 70s.

Gallery address: 807, K11 Atelier Victoria Dockside, 18 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
