Song Sumin: Trope at the Moment

EVENT DESCRIPTION

The Stroll Gallery in Hong Kong will host a solo exhibition titled “Trope at the Moment” by artist Song Sumin in September.

Song Sumin continuously expands the scope of her work and presents pieces with unique perspectives. The artist utilizes the internet in the process of collecting and storing images from various sources, deconstructing and manipulating them to create a new visual language. These generated images acquire new meanings and values as they are expressed through the medium of painting and captured on canvas.

In this exhibition, the artist showcases works that involve cutting and enlarging images related to gardens composed of grass and flowers, natural landscapes, volcanic eruptions, and smoke emanating from fires. The artworks fill the screen with ambiguous forms, evoking scenes of fireworks or smoke from explosions and water droplets falling from fountains, leaving viewers to ponder. Through a variety of narratives that incorporate senses and spatial characteristics, the artist unfolds multiple stories, hoping that the audience will have a special experience.
