Saehyun Paik and Marco Bras: I’ll Meet You in The Wonder
New York, NY- Space 776 is pleased to present I’ll Meet You in The Wonder a two-person exhibition showcasing paintings by Saehyun Paik and stone-carved sculptures by Marco Bras.
Saehyun Paik is a painter that explores abstract expression through various color combinations, contrast, audacious brush touch stroke, and close color relationships. Paik’s artistic process originates from her solitary reflections and impressions of life. Paik explores people without representing them, creating dialogues through the material of her paintings.
Marco Bras’s hand-carved sculptures are an allegory to human beings and their spirit. Bras polishes the imperfection of the material, the rustic stone, to illuminate the beauty of a spiritual body. Through his creations, he transmits spiritual signs and symbols, dialogues of nature and the universe. Carving the stone is a mystic performance and a combination of ancient techniques and modern technology.
The artists are mediators of a dialogue between themselves as human beings and the outer world. I’ll Meet You In The Wonder is two artists “meeting” in the middle…a place that is a ground where both battles and peace can be found.
