Art Brussels 2026

LEE & BAE will present an exhibition titled 'Between Layers: Materializing Time' at Art Brussels 2026, an exhibition featuring four Korean artists whose works inscribe the traces of time into material, revive memory through sensory experience, and visualize invisible inner worlds. Through the use of layered media such as glass, hanji (traditional Korean paper), clay, and epoxy resin, the artists create intersections between universality and specificity, individuality and collectivity, emotion and contemplation. Hyunsik Kim evokes spatial and emotional depth beyond the visible surface using transparent resin and etched lines, expressing the silent accumulation of time. Lee Eun paints seascapes with soil and clay, layering memory and sensory experience onto sculptural surfaces that echo the rhythm of waves and breath. Sangmin Lee’s Ceramic Series explores the aesthetics of light and shadow through glass painting, inviting self-reflection by embodying perseverance and willpower built up over long periods far beyond surface-level imagery. Kwangik Song works with Korean hanji, allowing the natural grain and fiber of the paper to guide compositions that shift between control and chance, stillness and motion. Together, these artists propose a meditative space in which time is not linear but cyclical, not fixed but felt. Through repetition, physical layering, and the accumulation of gestures, the booth suggests time itself as both subject and medium. By grounding abstract ideas in tactile processes and material specificity, Between Layers: Materializing Time offers a subtle and poetic entry point into contemporary Korean art rooted in personal introspection and collective resonance.
