CMay Gallery is pleased to present Night Windows, a solo exhibition of works by Hwang Seon Tae. Included in this exhibition are new works from Hwang’s “Lightbox” series, as well as works that predate his use of the lightbox and two recent pieces that exhibit a more sculptural approach to the artist's investigation into light, dimensionality, and representation.
Using glass as both filter and canvas, Hwang’s lightboxes depict architectural line drawings of interiors illuminated by LED light mimicking natural daylight. Hwang’s use of one-point perspective is carefully crafted to provide a framework of stillness. Light is subject, object, and spotlight upon a minimal stage.
Similarly, the artist’s most recent works play with the implicitness of line and space through the manipulation of the physical form of the acrylic plate. Dimension is contradicted and confirmed by extension and relief of the surface.
Night Windows will be on view from October 19 until November 30, 2019, with an opening reception on October 19 from 6pm - 8pm.
