SURGING WAVES

This publication accompanies the solo exhibition SURGING WAVES by LEE Eunsil, presented at ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL from December 17 to January 31, 2026.

LEE Eunsil (b.1983) had long harbored the intention of translating the experience of her first childbirth into her artistic practice. The recent works featured in this exhibition examine, from multiple perspectives, the psychological, physical, and social transformations experienced by an individual through the symbolic event of giving birth. Under the exhibition title, which likens the major and minor turning points encountered in life to the heights of waves, 10 new paintings, executed in traditional Korean painting techniques, are presented across the ground floor and basement level of the gallery.
