OMAE Gallery invites you to a bold and provocative exhibition that embraces the chaotic beauty of our times through the lens of tradition and subversion. Titled Asaripan, a term rooted in Buddhist language yet widely used in contemporary Korean to describe utter disorder, the exhibition draws from the artist’s redefinition of today’s layered and undefinable reality. In a world entangled in multiplicity and contradiction, the artist claims “asaripan” as a fitting metaphor—where noise, confusion, and freedom coexist without a clear center or direction.

Inspired by the playfulness and visual freedom of Korean folk painting (minhwa), the artist engages in a deliberate embrace of inconsistency, unstructured narratives, and unfiltered expression. The works do not seek coherence but instead find strength in spontaneity, disorder, and improvisation—treating chaos not as collapse but as a space of generative energy. This exhibition invites viewers to navigate a visual terrain where meaning is fluid, rules are suspended, and the joy of the unexpected reigns.
