For Art Busan‘s () CONNECT sector, Gallery LNL presents ‘The Currents of Being’, an installation of sculptures and drawings by Suh Yongsun (). Centred on the artist’s inquiry into the foundational dynamics of Korean agrarian society, distilled through the archetypes of ‘farmer’ and’ soldier’. Whilst wounded soldiers lean in twos, farmers are joined at the mouth, each demonstrating their own forms of interdependence. In this tension between the vivid and the simple form the currents which still buoy the meaning of being in contemporary life. 

Gallery LNL은 아트부산 커넥트 섹터에서 서용선의 조각과 드로잉 설치를 선보인다. 작가는 농경사회를 현대 삶의 토대로 바라보며, ‘농부’와 ‘병사’라는 두 목조 인물을 통해 인간 존재의 이중적 구조를 시각화한다.

강렬한 색채의 병사들이 직립한 쌍을 이루는 반면, 흰 윤곽선만으로 절제된 농부들은 서로를 지탱하는 자세로 노동과 의존의 현실을 드러낸다. 생존 공동체는 외부의 위협에 맞서는 방어 체계와 결핍을 견디기 위한 조직 구조를 동시에 필요로 했고, 이러한 긴장은 농부와 병사라는 두 인간형을 탄생시켰다.

서용선은 이러한 구조적 긴장이 여전히 현대 사회의 작동 원리를
규정하고 있음을 환기한다. 그의 작업 속 ‘농부’와 ‘병사’는 단순한 보편적 상징이 아니라, 한국의 역사와 사회적 조건 속에서 형성된 구체적 인간상이다.

왕조의 권력 갈등과 한국전쟁의 상흔, 현대 도시의 불안에 이르기까지, 서용선에게 역사는 자유와 지배를 향한 인간의 욕망이 시대를 넘어 반복되는 장이다.

Beginning today with its VIP preview for Art Busan (), Gallery LNL is bringing two distinct
presentations across two booths.

The GALLERIES sector brings something of present day Sydney to Art Busan. Something indirect, not the
image of a city, but its shape. Sydney as it appears through the artist’s practices it shapes.

ARTISTS:
Jan Howlin ()
Hendrik Kolenberg
Sassy Park ()
Suh Yongsun ()
Maryanne Wick ()

The CONNECT sector booth gathers Suh Yongsun’s enduring inquiry into the foundational dynamics of Korean society, distilled through the archetypes of ‘farmer’ and ‘soldier’ from early agrarian times. Whilst wounded soldiers lean in twos, farmers are joined at the mouth, each demonstrating their own forms of inter dependence. In this tension between the vivid and the simple there form the currents which still buoy the meaning of being in contemporary life.

Gallery LNL is delighted to participate in the 15th edition of Art Busan () with a presentation in both the Galleries and Connect sectors.

The GALLERIES sector presentation draws inspiration from the distinct resemblances of Sydney and Busan. As the major harbour cities of Australia and Korea, the two cities share curious geographical and cultural similarities. Beginning from a point of playful
comparison, the presentation brings together artists whose practices have been shaped by Sydney, offering an incidental and indirect portrait of the city itself.

ARTISTS: Jan Howlin (), Hendrik Kolenberg, Sassy Park (), Suh Yongsun (), Toni Warburton () and Maryanne Wick ()

For Art Busan’s CONNECT sector, Suh Yongsun will present an installation of wood sculptures and drawings, gathering together the artist’s expansive narration of the foundations and unfolding of modern Korea through the contrastive archetypes of ‘farmer’ and ‘soldier’.

Congratulations to Sassy Park on being selected as a finalist for the 2026 Wynne Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales!

“Little cries of pleasure takes its title from a French tabloid’s description of the duet between Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg in the song ‘Je t’aime … moi non plus’. The installation of small heads and plinths hovers between sculpture, painting and drawing; the surfaces are marked by gesture and care. Cups and small vessels implying touch and domestic use are reoriented to elevate the figurative heads, which merge personal portraiture with classical references and 1960s French yé-yé femininity. In their stillness, they suggest a quiet utterance – of intimacy, gender and material representation.” —Sassy Park

Evan Salmon’s () solo exhibition, ‘Memento (still life)’ closes this Saturday, 25 April.

In Salmon’s most recent works in still life, a background art history is never far from view – at times, literally so; inserted into frame. Through glass jars, the standing legs of pliers and a postcard of Daumier’s (already warped) Quixote are diffused and distorted equally. Eminently recognisable, of the kind you likely keep under your kitchen sink. In the deliberateness of Salmon’s staging throughout, punctuated in this brushing of shoulders between household and art object, any symbolism evoked withdraws just as soon as it arrives.

Born in 1971 in Sydney, Evan Salmon studied at National Art School and later completed his MFA at UNSW. He worked as a studio assistant to sculptor Robert Klippel in the late 1990s. Salmon’s eclectic practice began with paintings of abstracted aeroplanes, which evolved into bold collage abstractions and zinc plate etchings, to, most recently, still lifes and en plein air works.

Evan Salmon’s () solo exhibition of new and recent paintings, ‘Memento (still life)’ is on view through 25 April. 

The arrangements of Salmon’s works in still life riddle us with everyday objects in strange company. Scissors stood on points straddle paint tubes voluptuous through wrinkled aluminium. A pair of light bulbs lie plumply in the palm of a glove. A viewer might wonder at the seeking which brought about this finding.

Join us this Saturday 04 April, at 11:30am to celebrate the opening of ‘Memento (still life)’. The artist will be joined in conversation by Joe Frost.
