THEO is pleased to participate Untitled Art Miami Beach 2024, an independent art fair taking place annually on the sands of Miami Beach, with our represented artists KIM Eunju and LEE Yejoo. 

The booth theme is [Textures of Time: A Dialogue Between Inner and Outer Experiences], featuring young Korean artists. This presentation aims to harmoniously combine KIM Eunju’s lyrical and delicate expressionist paintings with LEE Yejoo’s contemporary and abstract sculptures, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience the multi-layered textures of time through these artists’ works.

Eunju Kim has been building her unique artistic world around the theme of light. Her work draws attention to the presence and beauty of light in our daily lives that we often encounter, but most of the time go unnoticed, such as the moment when a beam of light suddenly enters a room and illuminates the familiar, or when a small, insignificant flower we encounter on a walk is illuminated and reminds us of nature’s simple beauty. In her work, light is more than just a physical phenomenon, it is a medium that blurs the boundaries between existence and non-existence, the visible and the invisible, and her approach pushes the viewer beyond the limits of perception, inviting them to perceive a wider world.

Yejoo Lee is closely connected with Merleau-Ponty's phenomenological perspective on perception, which posits that the body transcends mere physical existence and is deeply intertwined with personal identity and experience. Through direct interaction between her own body and the sculptures, the artist artistically expresses this interconnectedness.
