2026 Nowon NEXT: Minha-hyung Solo Exhibition [P-Subtraction]
Korean original:
2026 노원 NEXT: 민하형 개인전 [피-빼기]
In Min Ha-hyeong's new paintings no human body can be found: red and blue masses overlap, and shapes taken for flesh scatter into landscape and then into the cosmos. Drawing on hysteria, an old name pushed to the back of medical history, the paintings show a body that resists definition and never stops trembling. At the Gyeongchun Line Forest Trail Gallery, it opens only at 2 p.m. on weekdays and is closed on Mondays.

01About
Abstraction is a matter of degree: some works only alter colour or form conspicuously and the subject can still be made out, while total abstraction bears no trace of anything recognisable, as in geometric abstraction. Around 1910 artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, František Kupka and Francis Picabia painted the first abstract pictures. Action painting, widespread from the 1940s to the early 1960s, had paint dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas rather than carefully applied, making the physical act of painting a central part of the work. In Korea, dansaekhwa from the 1970s built its surfaces from a single tone and repeated gestures.
02In the gallery
Go close to see how thick the paint is and which way the strokes run, then step back to the masses of colour: which layer went on first, and which last?
