Trioque

EVENT DESCRIPTION

THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present a new group exhibition, Trioque, with three Korean female artists, Claire Chey, Yoonjoong Cho and Debbie Kim, curated by Matt Chung. Through their diverse mediums and perspectives, these three artists delve into the intricate interplay of urban existence, spiritual enlightenment, and the societal metaphors that shape our perceptions.

Claire Chey’s metaphorical paintings reveal the subtle socioeconomic patterns that have been imprinted on our civilisation. Her visceral style, in which paint transforms into flesh, navigates the gaps between creation and discovery.

London and Seoul-based artist Yoonjoong Cho captures the pulse of the cities through her paintings. Her daily encounters with urban objects drive her practice, and her art presents a symbiotic relationship between the city and its inhabitants.

Debbie Kim’s artistic journey from Seoul has a spiritual undertone. Combining Eastern and Western philosophies, she straddles the realms of landscapes, still lives and religious imagery. Kim’s art reveals the hidden places in the ordinary, leading us to peek beyond the connotation of conventional objects.

Trioque stimulates ideas on identity, transcendence, and the core elements of the human tales that form our lives by juxtaposing these artists’ distinct viewpoints.
