Make Room is pleased to return to Frieze Seoul with a curated group presentation on view at COEX from September 2 to 5, 2026.

The booth gathers a generation of artists working in controlled sentiment. Romance, in their hands, is not a subject but a way of paying attention: to a borrowed match, to an iron left mid-task. Feeling enters these paintings through technique rather than declaration. Airbrushed veils, thinned washes, charcoal dust, and stained canvas replace the loaded brush, so that emotion arrives as atmosphere, held at the temperature of restraint.

Come visit us at booth C24 next week!

Its forms unfurl like the tendrils of a deep-sea organism, part creature, part architecture, reaching outward as if testing the boundary between one self and a shared one. What first reads as digital precision is, on closer looking, the slow labor of the hand: a rendered world relearned in oil, breath by breath.

Like much of Chanel Khouryโ€™s practice, the painting holds the biological and the sacred in the same frame, drawing on ancient holy sites and the strange intelligence of comb jellies and siphonophoresโ€”beings that live as both individual and collective. The anemone becomes a meditation on adaptation, on how a body survives by opening itself to something larger.

Ancient reference and futuristic surface meet here in a closed loop, where the tactile re-enacts what the machine first imagined.

Marble dust, pigment, oil paint and ink on wood
184 x 200 x 5 cm

Fragments from different sources, selected blindly and brought together to form a new. Each carries memory of what it once was, where it belonged to, while chance determines its new place within the new.

Azaroso.
Trusting randomness as both method and gesture.

This Sunday we turn the gallery inside out for the fourth Make Room Art Market โ€” 30+ of LAโ€˜s favorite independent artists and makers, filling the gallery and courtyard for one afternoon. Free mini courage bagel give away for early shoppers โœจ

Jeromy Velasco (Jeromy Velasco) is an illustrator, printmaker and tattoo artist whose work runs on q***r themes, memes and 90sโ€“2000s cartoon nostalgia.

Wet Market Wet Market by Ada is a fictional raw-meat stall: sculpted body parts, mussel-shell necklaces that hold a poem inside, and a hand-pierced 3D-printed Bao lamp.

Eunbi Eunbi builds her work from slabs and extrusions rather than throwing it. Architecture, LEGO, and pattern making inform her precise, modular forms.

Emily Holmes Ceramics (Emily Holmes) makes handmade vases and lighting that borrow from tailored silhouettes and drapery โ€” softness built through structure.

Dandi Gu (Dandi Gu) works across painting and ceramics in a playful, surreal language about emotion and everyday life.

โ€œForeign Light continues the artistโ€™s exploration of how systems of power become embedded within everyday life. The work centers on a suspended domestic lampโ€”an object associated with comfort and modern livingโ€”from which a dense mass of braided hair emerges, transforming the familiar fixture into a hybrid body that is both organic and technological.

The title refers to light not simply as illumination, but as a carrier of cultural values. Throughout colonial and postcolonial histories, ideals of progress and modernization have often entered daily life not through force alone, but through desire, aspiration, and spectacle. The lamp becomes a metaphor for a subject shaped by these inherited systems, while the braided hair suggests both familial lineage and the transmission of identities, values, and histories across generations and borders.

Suspended between ornament and organism, the work neither embraces nor rejects modernization. Instead, it reflects on how historical ideals continue to inhabit bodies and everyday life, leaving us with a form of illumination that feels familiar, yet originates elsewhere.

We look forward to presenting her work at upcoming Frieze Seoul in September!
