Gana Art LA is excited to present you with our Spring Collection. This exhibition brings together the distinct yet resonant practices of Donald Judd, Park Dae Sung, Park Sukwon, Kang Minsoo, and Keun Young Yoo—artists whose works span continents, generations, and mediums, yet are unified by a shared commitment to visual symbolism, conceptual rigor, and the silent rhetoric of physical material.
Donald Judd’s horizontal sequence of minimalist sculptures presents ten units of stainless steel, each marked by a saturated red. With its exacting geometry and rejection of illusion, the work emphasizes objecthood and the unmediated presence of form in space.
Park Dae Sung’s visually poetic ink paintings, grounded in calligraphy, distill memory, gesture, and nature into raw, expressive compositions that pulse with energy and introspection. His depiction of a black vessel encapsulates the shared theme of physical material in figurative form—an idea echoed by the nearby moon jars of ceramicist Kang Minsoo, placed on pedestals just before the surrounding canvas works. Kang’s moon jars, crafted from traditional Korean white clay, embody imperfection and subtle asymmetry, suggesting both restraint and warmth in their quiet pursuit of balance.
Park Sukwon offers a sculptural language shaped by repetition and transformation. His method of accumulating and layering natural materials reflects an ongoing inquiry into essence, structure, and time. His practice emanates a peaceful, rhythmic silence, offering the viewer a welcoming yellow and deep blue—a return to elemental simplicity.
In vivid contrast, Keun Young Yoo’s expressive paintings expand the natural world into abstraction, transforming flowers and plants into surreal, painterly meditations on beauty, distortion, and imagination. Hovering between realism and invention, his work is grounded in observation yet freed from convention, seamlessly integrating into the larger conversation of the exhibition.
Together, these five artists create a space where form speaks for itself, where process and meaning are inseparable, and where the tactile meets the philosophical. This exhibition is not about grand gestures, but about what endures—material, rhythm, and the quiet force of intention.
