Conduit Gallery will present an exhibition of new mixed media drawings by Korean-born, San Antonio-based artist Soomin Jung.

Through a delicate combination of gouache, watercolor, graphite and fluorescent gouache, Jung’s landscape drawings examine the subtle ways in which memory, emotion and a sense of place can distort, or illuminate, our perception of reality. Jung’s landscapes are at once precise and surreal, inviting viewers into spaces where mountains reflect in still water, valleys echo light, and the flickering lights from stars, fireflies and snow momentarily suspend the boundaries between reality and imagination.

In addition to the larger drawings, the exhibition will include a grouping of fifty 8 by 8-inch silhouette landscapes on paper that are each a meditation on the brilliance and unreality of the sky at dusk and dawn. These smaller works, minimal yet commanding, further Jung’s inquiry into how ephemeral moments can carry enduring emotional weight.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through August 9.
