The Goldmark Cultural Center’s Ruth Andres Gallery presents “Letting Go: Veils of the Unseen”, a solo exhibition of new paintings and video art by Goldmark artist Shinwoo Song.

The exhibition is on display from 8/24 through 9/6 with a reception on Saturday 8/29 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. The reception is a great opportunity to meet the artist and learn from him about his artwork.

About the Exhibition
This exhibition presents a practice that begins where explanation stops. Moving from the moment before language, the work focuses on time-based painting as a living event and a durational record of body memory and rhythm.

The canvas functions not as a surface for representation, but as a field of perception where gestures appear, disappear, and return, embodying an ongoing cycle of renewal that stays open and keeps moving, rather than a fixed meaning.

The display features new time-based paintings and a single channel video loop coexisting within the space, marking the beginning of a new cycle of practice following the transition into a new studio environment.

The title Letting Go functions as an ongoing framework within a broader practice. Veils of the Unseen is part of a larger cycle of interconnected works that explore transformation, perception, disappearance, return, and renewal through different material and spatial approaches.

About the Artist
Shinwoo Song is an artist whose practice centers on time-based painting as a living event and a durational record of body memory and rhythm. He focuses on the canvas as a field of perception where gestures appear, disappear, and return within an ongoing cycle of renewal that stays open and keeps moving, rather than a fixed meaning.

Upon completing his MFA at SMU, he continues his cycle of practice within the framework of Letting Go and sensations that exist before language. Currently based in a new studio environment in Dallas, his work allows material traces and temporal elements to coexist within the space.
