Two in White
Gallery HO, New York
Jeonghyung Lee, Hyungsub Shin. While it appears to be broken glasses, Shin's Unbreakable Frangment settles a person's uneasy mind that may feel depressed or tense. On the contrast, Lee's Aural Visions are immediately visible as a modulated structure of music in rhythmic order.

Gallery Ho is pleased to present Hyungsub Shin and Junghyung Lee’s group show “Two in White.” Their art
works suggest a new type of catharsis to viewers with the elimination of colors. The exhibition will be on the
view from January 31st through Fabruary 23rd, 2013
Hyungsub Shin and Junghyung Lee’s artwork shows a common feature. While it appears to be broken glasses,
Shin’s Unbreakable Frangment settles a person’s uneasy mind that may feel depressed or tense. His work firstly
seems like a destructive phenomenon, but soon these tragically demolished paper cuts are reborn as a well-
organized structure. On the contrast, Lee’s Aural Visions are immediately visible as a modulated structure of
music in rhythmic order; however it also presents the craving desire of the artist through deconstructive
sculpture. He is eager to express musical sound through complex lines and particular curves.
Paradoxically both art works contain a calm a white medium. This medium transmits the oppression of
feelings. Moreover, it will dissolve the personal ideas of audience and artists themselves. Delicate
structures and demolished configurations express their passion for the emotional freedom, which passes the
language barrier and cultural difference.
The white scene of violence and form of the dismantled piano exist between preserved serene past and ruined
future. The phenomenon of the momentary existence stimulates audiences’ imagination of the
fundamental nature of the object. Audiences’ own creativity brings the future resurrection from
deconstruction. Innocent white art works will absorb the colors of ones mind and create a new perception and
draw two different ways of catharsis.

Kunstakademie Dusseldorf, Germany and received his M.F.A. from Kunstakademie Dusseldorf with Professor
E.Reusch in 1990. Lee has engaged in many solo exhibitions in Korea, Japan, and America. He has also
participated in over 30 group exhibitions. Lee’s public art has been collected around the world including:
Dusseldorf Kunst Museum, Essen Kunst Museum, Busan Prefectural Museum of Art, and Yokohama Museum
of Art. Lee creates a unique visual experience by blending the art of music and sculpture together.
H yungsub Shin was born in Incheon, Korea. He graduated from Hong Ik University and received his M.F.A

Sculpture Park, Jamaica Center of Art and Learning, Calvin & Morris, and DEANPROJECT. Shin had his solo
exhibition at Gallery Ho in 2012 and showed the new series “Unbreakable Fragment”. Shin’s innovative style
allows him to create through the distruction of objects; the result being a beautifully reconstructed structure.
