Atelier Hermès hosts the first solo show in Korea by Barcelona-born artist Daniel Steegmann Mangrané. Incorporating sculpture, film, installation, and holograms, the exhibition also extends into the inner courtyard of the building.
The artist’s practice encompasses a wide range of media, including film, sculpture, sound, gardens and drawing. His work focuses on the creation and migration of forms between different formal registers in nature, art and architecture. The artist is particularly interested in forms that, while appearing familiar, cannot be related to any specific references, be it in nature or culture. Using self-imposed systems, the artist creates works that undermine the boundaries between organic and man-made aesthetics and materials, as well as between chance and rule-based principles of composition. Consequently, his works often appear both sparse and sensual.
