Art Salon de Assi, a gallery in Yeouido, Seoul, is holding a solo exhibition by artist Jeong Su-gyeong, 54, that carries the deep resonance of nature and life.

Ten years ago, Jeong Su-gyeong faced the wind blowing through the bamboo grove. The path split toward the forest as the subject, and the light seemed to pour down from above like an artistic baptism. The point from which the artist looks at the bamboo forest became the composition of the work.

The motif of the work comes from the power of nature's harmony, and it is newly interpreted when it touches the human interior.

The artist's distinctive dripping technique, scattering paint with the canvas laid on the floor, puts the sound at the point where the paint meets the canvas first, with the revealed form second. The creation of spatial depth on the surface, harmony with color, and subtle sound are the core of the dripping technique.

The series "Seeping," which is also the exhibition title, is shaped as if it spreads along the flow of time and layers of sensation. The gently unfolding inner landscape carries stories imbued with invisible depth, presence, and traces. Trees and flowers speak quietly yet intensely.

The artist favors not flowers as objects but existence itself, the fierce struggle of colonies that sustain life.

Jeong Su-gyeong's Night sky is a cluster of stars formed as leaves falling into a deeper flower field rise to the sky and gather as stars. The exhibition presents more than 20 works, including the series "Cheongeum (pure sound)," which takes the bamboo grove and wind as motifs; flower fields that have formed colonies revealing the treadmill of seasonal cycles in which petals fall upon fallen petals; the series "Blooming" and "Rising"; and recent works inspired by stars, the "Anima" series. The opening for is at 5 p.m. on Oct. 14, and the exhibition runs through Nov. 1.
