Haseo Shin Hyekyung, Hong Mihee: Halluciantion

Kimreeaa Gallery is pleased to present Hallucination (환영), a two-person exhibition by Haseo Shin Hyekyung and Hong Mihee, on view from October 16 to November 15, 2025. The exhibition brings together Shin’s World of Singularity and Hong’s ‘Landscapes of Nature’, exploring the boundaries between reality and unreality, observation and immersion, surface and volume. The title Hallucination (환영) metaphorically evokes the dimensions of perception that arise between what is seen and what is believed, illusion and intuition, encapsulating the core sensibility shared by both artists.

Shin Hyekyung collects fragments of the everyday, unseen vibrations, and quantum potentialities to construct an ecosystem of sensations and memories. Her notion of the “singularity” marks both a threshold where established order collapses and a site of emergence for new patterns and narratives. Through layered images, data, and memories, her paintings open a landscape of another dimension, offering viewers freedom and release through processes of immersion and challenge.

Hong Mihee translates colors and experiences gathered from nature into semi-relief paintings. Extending beyond the flat canvas into its edges and surrounding space, her works propose a new dimension where surface and form intersect. By repeating and varying color-band reliefs, her paintings reveal the dissonance between seeing and being, allowing viewers to sense the depth and rhythm of a mountain journey. Her new work, In the Forest, presents both a real landscape and a world governed by a different order beyond reality.
