The exhibition [Day dreaming] by Rhee hyunan is now on view at Azulejo Gallery.
Every present moment instantly transitions into the past, and human life is filled with an overwhelming accumulation of past experiences compared to the present or future. These past moments, which cannot be deleted or replayed, sometimes reappear unexpectedly in dreams—refracted and transformed through encounters with today’s events and desires. The paintings of Rhee Hyun-an seem to exist somewhere in between the past and the present, between dreams and reality. A peculiar familiarity in the unfamiliar—this is the result of the artist editing and reconstructing yesterday’s memories as they intersect with today. He said, “Art is a midday dream in which the familiar is experienced in an unfamiliar way.”
Images, derived from visual and experiences, undergo a long process of maturation and fermentation, becoming the raw materials for dreams. These images either hybridize with one another or evolve independently, stripping away color, stopping time and space, and even erasing sound. Within this monochromatic canvas, they emerge as protagonists, supporting characters, or backgrounds.
Storytelling is the most crucial and enjoyable element for the him, which is why the paintings feel both realistic and subtly dramatized. These narratives are not excessively exaggerated departures from daily life, nor do they rely on unconventional materials to stimulate superficial visual sensations. They neither intimidate the viewer with grandiose theories nor leave them bewildered.
Instead, he invites us to see the familiar in a new way, continuously discovering fresh subjects and weaving them into poetic narratives with literary imagination. By refining and distilling these elements, He encourages viewers to engage in their own process of contemplation and imaginative enjoyment. Through painting, which transcends mere form and composition, he seeks to remind us—like a fleeting midday dream—of the extraordinary, beautiful, and mysterious nature of life itself.
