Woo Jong-Taek: Between Matter and Soul




Soluna Fine Art proudly presents Between Matter and Soul, the inaugural solo exhibition in Hong Kong by Korean contemporary artist Woo Jong-Taek. Renowned for his contemporary approach to traditional Korean ink painting, Woo explores the interplay between materiality and spirituality. His textured canvases, layered with organic materials such as ink sticks, charcoal powder, and white clay, evoke the energy of nature through bold, expressive gestures. His sculptural installations, composed of wood and mirrors, translate the dynamic and spontaneous brushstrokes of his paintings into three-dimensional forms. Rooted in Eastern philosophy and a profound reverence for the natural world, Woo’s practice bridges the temporal and the eternal, guiding viewers into an intuitive realm shaped by silence, emptiness, and the unseen. Capturing the traces of life beyond sight and perception, his work fosters an environment conducive to openness and contemplative reflection. This exhibition is a meditation on the essence of nature and the universe, engaging viewers in a dialogue about the origins of mankind and the world, and inviting them to reflect on the harmony between nature and human existence.
Between Matter and Soul will be on view at Soluna Fine Art from 23 October to 22 November 2025, with an opening reception on 23 October (Thurs) at 6 - 8 pm.
