Tomio Koyama Gallery Kyobashi is pleased to present “Day, Night,” the first solo exhibition in Japan by Korean artist Ahn Jisan, featuring a selection of his new paintings.

Ahn Jisan was born in Busan, South Korea in 1979. After graduating from the Korea National University of Arts in 2006, he studied painting at the Frank Mohr Institute in the Netherlands. From 2013, he spent two years in residence at the Rijksakademie Van Beeldende Kunsten in the Netherlands. Following solo exhibitions in the Netherlands, he returned to Seoul in 2015 and began his artistic career in South Korea. His works are held in the collections of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul (South Korea), the Daegu Art Museum (South Korea), and the Royal Academy of Art (Netherlands) among others.

Ahn Jisan’s paintings evoke an atmosphere of anxiety marked by a sensation of confinement, oppression, chaos, and fear, while his exceptional knack for composition, dramatic use of light, and meticulous yet powerful brushwork come together as a strong enticement to the viewer’s gaze.

Is the world we see truly real? Night and day constantly repeat and shift. We hope that you will take advantage of this valuable opportunity to discover new perspectives on everyday life.
