黑料不打烊

Erin Cluley Gallery is pleased to announce Infinite Echo, an exhibition of new light sculptures by Baltimore-based artist Chul-Hyun Ahn. Utilizing mirrors and changing LEDs, Ahn's hypnotic works bridge the gap between the simplicity of geometric shapes and the aesthetic sublime. In effect, his work creates infinite worlds contained within a light box: through the construction of mirrors and light, viewers can peer into but not access Ahn's receding spaces. Infinite Echo features recent sculptures from Ahn alongside an installation work, continuing his exploration of how to represent boundlessness in art and spiritual allusions to Zen Buddhism.

Ahn combines technology and refined craftsmanship to create his ostensibly simple illusions. His high level of craft streamlines the work so as not to interrupt their fantastical environments and our experience of them. Ahn's clean white and black frames contrast his LEDs vivid colors. Their shallow depth contributes to the illusory void seen only from the sculpture's front. Inside the glass, Ahn's sculptures create bright environments out of classic shapes, i.e. squares, circles, and triangles. These shapes are then reflected against each other, replicating the shapes endlessly as they disappear into a black void like space.
