ARARIO MUSEUM in SPACE is presenting a solo exhibition titled “Beyond” by artist Kim Ji Hyun, on view through July 19, 2026. The show features works from Kim’s ongoing ‘Untitled’ series, begun around 2019, characterized by planes of color, linear elements, and bold sweeping strokes that create a distinctive visual language through repetition and variation.
The exhibition matters because it highlights Kim Ji Hyun’s engagement with abstract painting and late-modernist traditions, pushing beyond iconographic interpretation to explore the materiality and objecthood of the canvas itself. By compressing a century of avant-garde experimentation into his own practice, Kim offers a contemporary meditation on the limits of signification in visual art.
