Exhibit Dates

Press Play

Step into the boombox from simpler days past and experience an immersive journey about the transformative creative energy generated by joyful nostalgia, cultural connection, and the joining of old and new. Press Play uses layers of light, hand-drawn illustrations, and synthwave beats to bring you inside the artist's large-scale paintings. Above all, it is an invitation to embrace playfulness and presence, and to share in the power of pure expression — with the hopes that you "Press Play" on your own creative spirit.

A reflection on the freedom of creative flow, handpainted wood panels in the style of traditional Korean folding screens (“Byung Poong" 병풍) blend with digital projection to allow the artist's hand-drawn imagery to break free from conventional frames. Animation by MadLabs.
