AP SPACE Gallery is delighted to present "Absolute Space (No Longer in Time)", the first comprehensive retrospective of Korean artist Hyong Nam Ahn.

For over four decades, Hyong Nam Ahn bridged the gap between artist, sculptor, and inventor, playing a variety of different roles in the creation of a wide oeuvre.Ahn's center of gravity relies on the coexistence between pictorial flatness and sculptural condition. To blur the boundaries between painting and sculpture, the artist condenses forms, materials, and sources of light into unbounded, homogeneous entities that go far beyond being objects, almost feeling like earthly phenomena. Whether it is metal, neon, a stone, or a wire, at stake in Hyong Nam Ahn’s work is the activated space between artwork, environment, and viewer, the latest ascribed to a great participatory role. It is through this three-way interchange that Ahn conjures ideas of time and space, and explores the complex trinity through juxtapositions of natural materials with manmade construction.
