"Infinite Now" is the second annual exhibition sponsored in honor of the late artist MOKU, whose legacy continues to inspire through this ongoing initiative. This exhibition features three prominent artists—Kim Suntae, Choi Woo, and Koo Bon—who come together to present their distinct artistic worlds under the theme of "Infinite Now."
MOKU, a visionary artist, explored the concept of time beyond the present, delving into the infinite possibilities of existence and the meaning of life. Despite growing up in difficult circumstances and lacking formal education, his extraordinary talent was internationally recognized, earning him a place as one of the seven abstract painters of note. His work embodies the spirit of the "infinite today," offering a profound reflection on how we perceive and understand our own existence and the moments that make up our lives.
The three participating artists in this exhibition have each made significant contributions to their respective fields. Kim Suntae, a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, has carved out an independent path in the realm of abstraction, constantly pushing the boundaries of color and form while raising deep philosophical questions. Choi Woo, a self-taught artist, explores human existence and the flow of time through a painterly approach, quietly capturing the essence of everyday life. Koo Bon, a graduate of Hongik University, is a hyper-realistic artist based in New York, known for his ability to magnify urban landscapes and subtle human details to explore the nuances of "today" and the inner lives we lead.
Through their works, this exhibition unpacks the idea of "infinite now" and reflects on how every moment, every day, can create a sense of infinity in our lives. The exhibition also highlights how MOKU timeless approach to space and time continues to influence contemporary art, reaffirming the enduring significance of his artistic legacy.
"Infinite Now" invites viewers to reflect not only on the passage of time but also on the deeper meaning and value of the present moment. It offers a unique opportunity to engage with the infinite potential embedded in our daily lives, as interpreted by these three influential artists.
