The Space In Between
Renaud Jacquier Stajnowicz & Moon-Pil Shim
For this exhibition at Galerie Lahumière, Renaud Jacquier Stajnowicz and Moon-Pil Shim lead us into a dialogue about space, light, and movement. While their works differ in the media they use, they share a strong focus on their surrounding space, that of the wall or the gallery (indeed, both artists have created many monumental commissioned works), as well as the intrinsic space of the work itself—that is, what takes place between its various elements and what is the relationships between these elements? Different methods are employed to respond to these questions, inviting us to reflect on the permanence of painting as an eternal window onto the world and, a subject that has always preoccupied abstract painters, how can painting make visible that which is invisible?
