SHIN HAN CHUL 'Getting a True'

The artist's work explores the dissolution of boundaries between genres, reflecting the concept of "de-modernism," where distinctions lose meaning. Inspired by Hegel's "Trick of Reason," the work embraces self-denial as part of its essence. Structurally, it consists of large and small assemblages, representing the smallest units of life—cells, nuclei, embryos, and the universe.

These spheres symbolize the cycle of creation and destruction, continuously repeating. The reflective quality of the work mirrors external reality, creating a layered effect that blurs the line between reality and illusion. This evokes philosophical ideas from Borges, Baudrillard, Zhuangzi, and Buddhist thought, suggesting a multi-dimensional world where tangible and intangible coexist. The artist's work ultimately reflects deep existential and social anxieties, exploring desire, temptation, and the fragile nature of existence.
