Duarte Sequeira Seoul presents "Dog-ear 복기", a solo exhibition by Korean artist Yooyun Yang, running through July 18, 2026. The show features eleven new paintings on Korean paper (Jangji) that depict dissolving, blurry figures—more like traces of memory than conventional portraits. This is the first solo exhibition by a Korean artist since the gallery opened its Seoul space.
The exhibition matters because it introduces an emerging Korean artist gaining international attention for her portrait-based works that explore perception, presence, and the thinning of real human connection in an image-saturated world. The title references both dog-earing a book page and the Korean Go concept of "bokgi" (replaying a finished game to understand it), framing the works as meditations on revisiting and understanding encounters. It signals Duarte Sequeira's commitment to spotlighting Korean contemporary art in Seoul.
