We are pleased to present a two-person exhibition featuring the works of
Ville Lehtinen and Yesul Kim. This exhibition showcases the intersection
of two different art forms and mediums, presenting an immersive and
engaging experience for the audience.

Ville Lehtinen’s (b. 1984) paintings blend pop art and expressionism,
creating works with strong contrasts in values and colors. His art is less
about the subject and more about the interplay of shapes, lights, and
shadows. The limited color palette of two complimentary colors,
frequently using magenta and blue, is carefully considered and adds
depth to his works. Lehtinen’s use of acrylics and oils creates a tactile
and textured experience for the viewer.
Yesul Kim (b. 1991) is a Korean sound artist who uses natural and
organic sounds to create a unique and immersive experience. Her
interest in the randomness of life and intuitive thinking is reflected in her
sound pieces, randomly combined by an algorithm. Her background in
architecture influences her artistic ideas, and she creates sound walls,
beams, and columns to build a space where the geometry starts to sing.
Together Kim and Lehtinen create a dynamic and engaging exhibition at
the intersection of painting and sound art.
Lehtinen’s animals are captured in various postures, as if time has
suddenly stopped to let us see the raw essence of their being in a
magenta-washed dream world. On the other hand, looking at his more
abstract works while hearing Kim’s ever-changing, fluctuating
soundscape captures the audience itself, as the forms and colours start
to move and evolve in a fluid, boundless process, engaging the
spectator’s subconscious mind. Finally, as a third layer, Yesul Kim’s
sound installation breathes, pulsates and drifts, somewhere a bit more
distant, like a naturally alternating inner landscape of human
consciousness, bringing us closer to what we really are, or could be, if
we stopped more often for a moment to breathe and reflect.
