Redbase Art is excited to announce Chasing Dreams featuring the reminiscent works of Cheolyu Kim. This collection of works on paper draws upon the agglomeration of childhood mythology from the artist's small rural village, nestled between the mountains that divide South and North Korea.
Growing up, the artist spent countless hours chasing these ephemeral visions, including balloons drifting in the sky from the North, often containing propaganda leaflets. This quest for flight—both literal and metaphorical—became a profound exploration of realities, memories and dreams. Despite these dreams, the artist grapples with the frustration of being unable to soar, a sentiment echoed throughout the works on display. In Chasing Dreams the artist invites viewers into a neo-surrealistic world with each piece reflecting the narratives that shaped the artist’s youth, where the sky was a canvas for imagination and longing.
Chasing Dreams is an exhibition depicting the artist’s emotional journey through imagination rooted in the myths of childhood and the complexities of reality. Join us for the opening reception to experience this captivating exploration of artistry and nostalgia.
