Between Black & White

Featuring ceramics, glassware, crafted objects and artist Sangsun Bae’s artwork, The Stroll gallery invites you to engage in a journey with your inner self through black and white.

The exhibition will feature a collection of tableware, ceramics Moon jars and tea sets. With each piece crafted with intricate details, combining minimalist design and integrating with daily life, the crafted objects create a beautiful balance of form and function, blurring the lines between craft, art and design. From Moon Jars to various tableware, each piece tells a story and reflects the beauty found in everyday life, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics. These everyday objects also provide moments of peace in our fast-paced world.

On the other hand, artist Sangsun Bae’s artwork explores the complex relationship between humans and the meaning of life, encouraging viewers to find their peace within chaos. One of the series of featured artwork, Morphing Void, the spreading paint embodies the unstoppable energy of life. The black velvet serves as metaphorical void or abyss, while the layered stains symbolize cycles of growth and infinite reproduction emerging from emptiness.

Each piece evolves through a process of layering paint on black velvet, allowing it to spread organically. The patterns are formed over multiple cycles of drying and reapplication, creating a sense of continuous transformation. This series explores the tension between chaos and creation, reflecting the dynamic, uncontrollable flow of thoughts, emotions, and existence itself. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in these ever-evolving forms and uncover the latent possibilities arising from the void.

Together, these works reflect a deep connection to the rhythms of nature and invite viewers to contemplate the contrast between simplicity and complexity. The interplay of black and white serves not only as a visual theme but also as a metaphor for the dualities of life—light and shadow, chaos and calm, creation and destruction.
