전시 소개 ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Pace will present an exhibition of sculptures—many of them never-before-seen—by renowned Light and Space artist Peter Alexander at its Seoul gallery from April 16 through June 5. Marking his first solo show in Korea, the presentation will spotlight a selection of works created by the artist in 2020, just before his passing.
Known for his translucent, meditative sculptures that appear to emulate light from within, Alexander spent his decades-long career exploring the perceptual relationships between light and color. A key figure in the Los Angeles art scene in the 1960s—when he developed his iconic polyester resin sculptures—he was a vanguard of the California Light and Space movement alongside James Turrell, Robert Irwin, and others. Evoking the unique atmosphere and natural landscape of his native Southern California, as well as art historical references to Mark Rothko’s bold use of color and Johannes Vermeer’s sensitive depictions of light, his work inspires personal contemplation and encourages sustained looking on behalf of the viewer.
