“Light has no form of its own, yet it reveals itself through the interstices and surfaces it inhabits.”
In the spring of 2026, Gallery Chang presents a dialogue between two artists who explore the essence of light: Kim Sea Joong of Korea and Jimi Gleason of the United States. This exhibition brings together two distinct yet resonant approaches—Kim’s contemplative inquiry into the poetics of the interstice, shaped within the intellectual solitude of Paris, and Gleason’s translation of California’s radiant energy into reflective, dynamic surfaces.
Kim Sea Joong’s work draws light inward. His practice reveals the quiet depth of light as it settles into layers, inhabiting space through accumulation, shadow, and stillness. His surfaces are not merely visual fields, but meditative structures where time and material converge.
In contrast, Jimi Gleason’s work projects light outward. Through silver coatings and specialized pigments, his surfaces reflect and refract their surroundings, activating the space beyond the canvas. Light becomes an event—expanding, shifting, and engaging directly with the viewer’s presence.
At the intersection of stillness and movement, contemplation and sensation, Resonating Light: Interstice and Space presents a spectrum of perceptual experience. Between the quiet resonance that emerges from within and the luminous brilliance that fractures across the surface, viewers are invited to encounter light not simply as a visual phenomenon, but as a deeply personal and reflective presence.
