Sangun Ho: It’s my house

Quoting Diana Ross’ iconic hit It’s my house, Sangun Ho’s solo exhibition at soft power looks into the details that make up the surfaces of our everyday life. The romantic encounter of two pigeons on a sidewalk, an abandoned pillow comfortably resting on a window sill, a little dog peeking over the edge of the breakfast table, a bottle hiding out under the fridge – Sangun Ho captures lived and living moments that we all encounter every day. The artist collects and accumulates these fragments in a snapshot-like manner – halting their fleeting presence by giving each of them the focused attention needed to create his detailed hand drawings. As a body of work, the vast amount of these daily drawings seems to represent “the real world”, yet creating a world entirely of their own. Often captured in transit, on his way to the studio, coming home, leaving, Sangun Ho’s motives hint at the beauty inherent in the oddest of situations.
