Woo Hannah
Woo Hannah(b.1988)'s work imagines an existence that transcends the notion of a finite and fixed body. Based on this, she depicts a scenario where all beings are equal to one another in a horizontal relationship, breaking away from the existing dichotomy which divides humans and non-humans. She presents a situation in which opposite and polarized beings, such as the living and the non-living, the protecting and the protected, the old and the young, the painful and the joyful, converge and complement each other in works that do not limit the boundaries of genres, ranging from painting to sculpture to installation which is based on fabric as the main material. Woo has held solo exhibitions at Appearances(Frieze No.9 Cork Street, London, UK, 2023), Connection: Woo Hannah Open Studio(G Gallery, Seoul, KR, 2023), and Ma Moitié(Song Eun Art Cube, Seoul, KR, 2020). Her recent group exhibitions include Summer Love (2022, Seoul, KR), Sculptural Impulse (2022, Seoul, KR), 2020 Next Code (2020, Daejeon, KR), Nothing Twice (2019, Seoul, KR), Superfuture Food (2019, Seoul, KR), Linkin Out (2019, Seoul, KR), LOTUS LAND (2017, Gwangju, KR), and many others, in addition to participating in the Art Plant Asia 2020 exhibition Hare Way Object.
