Photosynthesis
Yoorim Ko
Oct 19 to Oct 30
The Next Narrative 2026 Open Call Exhibition series
Photosynthesis unfolds as a shifting process of transformation, where emotions, memories, and bodily sensations take form and dissolve through painting. Organic forms emerge through layered colors, expressive lines, erasure, and hand stitching, creating surfaces that remain fluid and unresolved.
Through painting, drawing, and installation, Yoorim Ko explores the tension between inner experience and the external world. Her use of canvas, thread, and accumulated marks transforms the painted surface into a flexible structure shaped by movement, pressure, and time.
The works exist in a state of continual negotiation, where forms connect and separate, and boundaries become sites of both protection and constraint.
The exhibition reflects on transformation not as a completed transition, but as an ongoing process of emergence, instability, and renewal.
Photosynthesis is part of a series of solo exhibitions presenting the selected artists of The Next Narrative Open Call 2026, organized by Art Pan Gallery in collaboration with the Korean Association of New York Artists (KANA).
