Waterfall Gallery is thrilled to announce the presentation of Lee Seung Hee at Frieze Seoul 2026.
Invited by Material Practice curator Hyeyoung Cho, Waterfall presents a solo show by Lee Seung Hee, centered on his evolving meditation on two-dimensional ceramic painting through the Like Paper series, first introduced at Waterfall Gallery in his 2019 solo exhibition Transfiguration.

Featuring an array of innovative works, this exhibition offers an intimate glimpse into the artist’s exploration of ceramics as a medium. Each piece intertwines traditional practices with contemporary aesthetics, inviting viewers to engage with the narratives embedded in the materials.

Lee’s works are characterized by their delicate imperfections, allowing for a dialog between the artwork and the viewer’s personal memories. This exhibition promises to be a thought-provoking experience that resonates with the audience on multiple levels. Join us in celebrating the creative journey of one of Korea’s most exciting contemporary artists.

NOW OPEN 📢 JINWON CHANG⏤GLORY

This special exhibition, Jinwon Chang⏤Glory, traces the artist’s chronological trajectory since relocating to New York in the mid-2000s. Central to his work is the concept of light, which shapes a world of truth, beauty, joy, and gratitude through lyrical, repeating motifs. For Chang, this is a light of life that has passed through the Cross and Resurrection, capturing the nuances of trauma, recovery, love, and grace. Within this narrative, the light implies a hope for human redemption and renewal, subtly unveiling an unseen spiritual order. Blending the deep interiority of Eastern thought with a harmonious East-West sensibility, his paintings offer a profound reflection on the essence of existence and connection.

“Vanitas” Series work in progress🪻

Artworks by Antonio Murado

A glimpse into his production process for the upcoming solo exhibition at the Waterfall Englewood Exhibition Salon, featuring works from his renowned Vanitas series.

Derived from the Latin word for “Vanity," Murados’ famous series of paintings ‘Vanitas’ finds its inspiration from the 17th century Baroque genre containing symbols of death or change as a reminder of their duality and inevitability. The term originally comes from the opening lines of the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible:
“Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher,
vanity of vanities! All is vanity.”
The fate of all things entails a splendor for a moment in time that is bound to its eventual moving on. The artist references Monet’s “Water Lilies” which embody the passing of time and transparency of water as a metaphor for the layered circumstances and attributes of the times. For the artist, this series is an act of letting go and giving into the beauty that exists in living within the balance of life and death.

Waterfall is honored to collaborate with the Gwangju Museum of Art to produce a major solo exhibition titled The Glory this summer.

In 2025, Jinwon Chang was awarded the prestigious Gwangju City Culture Art Award 🎉
This solo exhibition at the Gwangju City Art Museum marks his first major presentation in his hometown of Gwangju, Korea, in 22 years, following his departure for the United States in 2004 amid deep personal and artistic struggle. This significant return reflects a renewed freedom in his painting practice—one shaped by a profound confrontation with faith.

Over the past year, Jinwon Chang has worked closely with Director Kate Shin to shape a body of work spanning three decades, bringing together paintings and drawings infused with memory, tension, and renewal.

Set against Korea’s cultural and political turbulence—and in reflection of Gwangju’s complex history—the exhibition will present over 50 major works exploring faith and the artist’s relationship with God. The Glory emerges as both offering and illumination: a quiet yet radiant gesture toward healing.

A central highlight is a monumental 17 × 17 ft painting, created over six months in Gwangju leading up to the opening.

Following its run at the Gwangju City Art Museum, The Glory will travel to Seoul and major contemporary galleries for two months.
