'Provocateur' 2014 by Hyon Gyon. Take a look at the variety of materials used in this artwork. Hyon has used predominantely satin and silicon on canvas, but you can see an original use of cigarettes to create some details. #hyongyon #parasolunit #5daysofart #artist #art #koreanart #koreanartist #modernart (at Parasol Unit Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDgfjWlMQb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1277awi5heb8b

'We Were Ugly' 2017 by Hyon Gyon. Definitely one of the most impressive and intriguing artworks I've ever seen. It consists of 17 panels and is over 20m long. Take a close look at the combination of the death motive with vivid colors. #hyongyon #5daysofart #parasolunit #parasolunitgallery #art #koreanart #koreanartist #modernart (at Parasol Unit Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwEnzElFIPb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vezoqx3we1fk

Today we focus on @hyongyon at @parasolunit. The exhibition will be displayed until 31st March and is curated by @ardalanziba . It is worth seeing as the artist had many solo exhibitions in the US and Asia, but this time her works are shown for the first time in the U.K. and Europe. We can see some of Hyon’s best works from various periods of her life. You can’t miss it! #hyongyon #5daysofart #parasolunitgallery #parasolunit #modernart #exhibition #londonexhibition #londonart #londonartscene #koreanart #koreanartist (at Parasol Unit Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwE84qellJ3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1em3kpenbpvai

If you read my blog, I think I can already tell this must be my favorite artwork of the whole project. Can you guess who's the author? #5daysofart #modernart #art #victoriamirowharfroad #victoriamiro (at Victoria Miro) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvvB882FoJ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=frszmjilt8xq

'Apples as architecture' is one of the most abstract paintings. The reoccurring theme of mountains appears on the paintings, but it is incorporated into a new context. Instead bulky, round shapes representing obstacles we are presented with a bright force from the sky. Or maybe it's just magical apples? Any interpretations? #5daysofart #johnkørner #modernart #art #victoriamirowharfroad #victoriamirogallery #victoriamiro #lifeinabox #danishartists #painting #acrylicpainting #acrylic (at Victoria Miro) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvvASm-FnLW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tliy8x2lpn2j

'Water in the corridor' - similarly to Dorothea Tanning, John Kørner explores the escapist idea of the door to a better life. Also, it is quite cute that the artist calls his quite metaphorically paintings with very simple and realistic terms. Thinking of it more deeply, it could symbolize the idea of being constrained by our norms and despite creating something abstract, understanding it purely through reasoning. #johnkørner #5daysofart #modernart #art #victoriamirowharfroad #victoriamiro #victoriamirogallery #lifeinabox (at Victoria Miro) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvu_JC3l-ud/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=161rd3atmouec

The first floor of the exhibition takes the viewer to the Kørners world of sport and exhibits some more of his paintings. I was most impressed by the massive carpet, which is partially a trade mill. It travelled all the way from Belgium'. Also, big love to Kørner for being eco friendly and actually reusing this fragment from his previous show (don't be mislead, he changed the concept completely) #johnkorner #victoriamiro #victoriamirogallery #victoriamirowharfroad #5daysofart #art #modernart (at Victoria Miro) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaaUWkFel4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tvekvfa1nrgo

And here another fragment of my favorite carpet. Also in the back you can see two oval figures. They are often present in Kørner's painting and symbolize an obstacle. In this case it is a physical holdback on the way to victory. To read more about how all the elements relate to each other read my blog.
