Although Hyeon O and Jaewon Kim work with different materials, media, and visual vocabularies, their practices share a fundamental question: 
How can a state of being be described that is simultaneously vulnerable, searching, and shaped by external structures? 

Both artists reveal – each in their own way – how closely inner and outer realities are intertwined. 

Hyeon O, born in 1996 in Seoul where she continues to live and work, studied Painting at Sejong University, completing her BFA in 2020. Her works on Hanji paper and canvas are less traditional portraits than visible states of the psyche.They speak of inner tension, subtle ruptures, memory, and the challenge of locating oneself in a society that elevates speed and efficiency to guiding principles. In her own writing, she describes how these pressures inscribe themselves into emotional layers, doubts, and quiet forms of resistance. Her paintings unfold like archaeological cuts through the psychological spaces of contemporary life –atmospheric, reduced, precise, and deeply interior.
Jaewon Kim, born in 1987 in Seoul and now based in Hamburg, began his studies in Photography at the Seoul Institute of the Artsbefore moving to the University of Fine Arts Hamburg (HFBK). There he completed his BFA (2018) and MFA (2022) in the classes of Thomas Demand, Ceal Floyer, and Martin Boyce. His artistic practice combines drawing machines, 3D-printed ceramics, Bio-PLA structures, and materials such as wood and honeycomb board. 

Conceptually, he examines the fragility of ecological and technological systems: the disappearance of bees, the disturbance of natural cycles, and the tension between digital precision and organic unpredictability. His drawings and sculptural works create spaces in which mechanical and biological processes are interwoven – constructed with care, yet always open to instability and chance.
Despite their differences, both artists share an attentive gaze toward the fragile.Hyeon O exposes the instability of inner landscapes; Jaewon Kiminvestigates the vulnerability of outer structures. Both work with reduction and clarity, guided by a sensitivity to material and process: O through the breathing surface of Hanji paper and quiet layers of pigment, Kim through machine-guided lines that allow the unexpected to enter the work. In dialogue, their approaches do not form a contrast but a mutual resonance.The inner states made visible by Hyeon O are inseparable from the ecological and technological tensions explored by Jaewon Kim. The emotions she depicts do not arise in isolation; they are shaped by the very world he examines. And the fragilities he reveals reflect back how people feel, act, and orient themselves.

In Fragile Harmony, the interdependence of inner and outer worlds becomes clear.They do not exist as separate realms but as conditions that shape and transform one another. The exhibition shows this interwoven relationship as a defining experience of our present: a state in which emotion and environment, the human psyche and external reality, form a continuous, shifting network of mutual influence.We are looking forward to welcome you.
