YU NISHIMURA – DISLOCATION

Posted on 2026-04-13

Throughout the development of Dislocation, Yu Nishimura articulated an approach to painting grounded in temporal, spatial, and psychological displacement. Across the exhibition, images emerge through layers of revision, interruption, and residual marks, producing compositions that resist fixed resolution and instead remain suspended between memory, perception and reconstruction.
Place and landscape are strongly present, yet rather than depicting specific locations, the paintings allow the gaze and the body to enter the landscape itself — moving closer to the subject and then withdrawing again, gradually shaping a felt sense of space. This shifting proximity produces a quiet recalibration of the viewer’s position where distance is never stable but continuously negotiated. Figures, landscapes, objects and architectural details appear partially detached, occupying uncertain spaces that feel simultaneously familiar and remote.

Exhibition runs through to August 22nd, 2026

ALEXANDER WERTHEIM – FUGUE IN OXIDE

Posted on 2026-04-06

Wertheim’s works feature vertical and horizontal lines that overlap and intersect, forming grid-like and lattice structures. While in previous years he primarily worked with spray paint, he now increasingly applies paint with a brush, introducing a distinctly visible painterly gesture to the works. The simplicity of the forms is disrupted by a deceptive sense of casualness: the contours of the strokes remain blurred, the spacing between the lines is irregular, splatters and smudges of paint are visible, and the character of the brushstroke is clearly pronounced. As a result, what emerges is hardly a grid in the classical sense, one that imposes order or structure upon the canvas. Rather, it appears as a framework generated by the casually and spontaneously applied strokes themselves, holding them together.

TONY CONRAD

Posted on 2026-03-30

Tony Conrad (1940–2016) was a galvanic figure across multiple strains of the avant-garde. His protean career spanned five decades and resisted authority in all its forms; as Conrad remarked, “the job of an artist is to discover laws to violate that haven’t been made yet.” Best known as a trailblazer in the fields of both drone music and structural film, he also worked in video, performance, painting, installation, public access television, and “paracinema”: experiential works that defied the logic of what the moving image might be.

VIVIAN GREVEN – IN BLOOM

Posted on 2026-03-23

Perrotin Seoul is pleased to present In Bloom, a solo exhibition by German painter Vivian Greven. Featuring a selection of new works, the exhibition offers an overview of Greven’s exploration of transformation, becoming, and the boundaries of existence. Drawing on classical sculpture, mythological narratives, and the aesthetic perfection of social media, Greven examines the human body, perception, and the complexities of relationships.
Figures, flowers, and hands appear throughout her compositions, capturing moments in which different states converge and fluidly traverse the boundaries between reality and fantasy, creation and dissolution. Through restrained compositions and subtle palettes, Greven reveals both the beauty and ambiguity of images, poetically evoking the continuous process of transformation. Marking the artist’s first solo exhibition in Korea, In Bloom highlights Greven’s distinctive visual language within contemporary painting and offers a renewed perspective on her ongoing investigation of image and existence.

HALEY JOSEPHS – LOVE OF WATERS

Posted on 2026-03-09

I’ve been watching the water
the way light reflects off its surface, shining and glistening.
When we cry, our tears return to it. Sweat, piss, saliva—every kind of excretion—flows back to its source. They are pieces of us,
becoming one again, carried onward.
I see the sparkling light dancing on the surface as a space which holds the hopes and dreams of all humankind, gathering and pulling
them together,
Into prisms of rainbow light.
Think of that when you look at water.
