Munhwa Ilbo: Lost in Garden

Renowned mid-career sculptor KIM Byoungho, celebrated for blending mechanical precision with aesthetic sensibility in his artistic process, makes a much-anticipated return with a solo exhibition in Korea. The newly launched Lost in Garden, held at ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL in Jongno, Seoul, has garnered attention as a rare sculpture-focused event in the domestic art scene. The exhibition space is adorned with works that masterfully balance contrasting elements: polished, sleek surfaces juxtaposed with meticulously crafted ink-black hues, achieving a striking sense of harmony. Could these pieces be a dual portrait of our materialistic society? Through this exhibition, KIM Byoungho invites viewers into a “garden” that explores the coexistence of cynicism and admiration in our lives.
