From March 17th to April 24th, 2022, Art Sonje Center holds Ok Seungcheol’s solo exhibition Create Outlines. The artist transforms his character images, which are based on digital figures that are modified and reproduced inside the screens that show cartoons, movies, and games, into various media such as paintings, videos, and sculptures. Through this process, Ok has continued to show that character images can serve as a platform to create artistic experiences. In this solo exhibition, the artist takes the command key used in Adobe Illustrator, “Create Outlines” as the title and shows stark contrasts on his long and short-haired characters in colors, black and white conversions, straight lines and curves, and planes and multi-dimensions. Using paintings, sculptures, and images of different sizes and purposes in an ever-changing digital information, Seungcheol Ok’s conceptual world visualizes and materializes on colorful materials and surfaces. Standing at the center of this process, Create Outlines is where the digital world ends and the analog world begins.
