Gallery Henoch Lights Up

With SungHee Jang’s Works

FOR 2/22

GALLERY HENOCH SUNGHEE JANG

AK/CD SET 2/18  #729123

NEW YORK CITY — SungHee Jang is a young South Korean artist and recent graduate of the MFA program at the School of Visual Arts. Her work was featured in a traveling exhibition curated by Dan Cameron in 2007. SungHee’s debut solo exhibition is on view at Gallery Henoch through March 15.

SungHee strives to decode the relationship between materiality and “nothingness” through the use of light and reflection. The artist depicts scenes of highly polished architectural elements in which floors and walls seemingly implode to reveal vast empty spaces. Vividly hued and bright white reflections appear amorphous and ethereal in contrast to the rigid structural elements. Paradoxically, it is within the voided spaces that the most substance is found.

These washed-out planes assume an emotional presence and psychological weight that demand viewers’ attention, according to the gallery; in giving “nothingness” a unique existence of its own, it is stripped of its inherently negative value, and given one that is adamantly positive

Gallery Henoch is at 555 West 25th Street between Tenth and Eleventh Avenues. For information, 917-305-0003 or www.galleryhenoch.com.
