Ephemeral Silhouettes - Moonassi
Pondering your existence in the universe? The much asked question of “who am I” is the theme of Korean artist Monassi’s latest exhibition in his search for identity. Taking him far across the world to Norway, his journey has not produced any answers but has made him realise why the answer might never be found. This spark of realisation is contained within the monochrome ink-wash paintings that evoke simplicity and purity, contrasting with the philosophical each piece possess.
Date: 9 June – 23 July
Time: 11.30am – 8.30pm (Monday – Thursday), 11am – 8.30pm (Friday – Sunday)
