Han Bing and Megan Rooney In conversation with Jin Whui Yeon
On the occasion of the exhibition, That Inward Eye, Thaddaeus Ropac Seoul hosts an artist talk with featured artists, Han Bing and Megan Rooney. They will be joined by Jin Whui Yeon, the Dean of the School of Visual Arts at Korea National University of Arts (K-Arts) to discuss their practice and the process behind preparing for this group show.
Marking the first presentation of their work in Korea, That Inward Eye explores the artists’ distinct approaches to painting, and the various points at which these intersect and diverge. Working across different cultural, material and geographical contexts, the artists explore the picture plane not just as a surface to work onto, but into and against. Rather than a simple edge or support, it becomes a boundary to actively negotiate and pass through. Painting, in turn, provides a kind of container – holding time, memory and feeling as much as colour, gesture and material.
