ARARIO GALLERY will participate in Art Collaboration Kyoto 2025 (ACK), to be held in November 2025 at the Kyoto International Conference Center. Tokyo-based CON_ Gallery, known for its experimental exhibitions, will host the joint presentation, inviting ARARIO GALLERY as its guest gallery. Together, the two galleries will create a collaborative booth that explores how contemporary art in Korea and Japan crosses the boundaries between technology and perception, reality and imagination, while shaping new aesthetic languages.

ARARIO GALLERY will present works by two Korean artists, NOH Sangho (b. 1986) and LIM Nosik (b. 1989). Both artists engage with the expanded field of human perception, navigating between digital technology and painterly sensibility, the visible and the invisible.

NOH Sangho takes the contemporary media environment as a central reference point, transforming the effects of technology on visual perception and emotion into painterly form. His HOLY series reconstructs AI- generated images through a painterly language, delving into layers of mythic and sacred emotions evoked by a new creative entity — artificial intelligence. By interpreting the sense of awe and unease that emerges from the dissonance between technology and human logic as a form of the mythic “sacred,” NOH reflects on the boundaries between machine and human perception. His THE GREAT CHAPBOOK series, composed by combining daily drawings into richly colored compositions, visualizes the process of image accumulation and transformation as a pictorial narrative. NOH’s practice reveals the expanding perceptual possibilities of contemporary painting through the dialogue between the digital and the analog, the human and the mechanical.

LIM Nosik seeks to perceive the invisible realms that lie beyond physical experience through painting. By blurring oil-painted landscapes with translucent oil pastels, he visualizes the temporal and spatial distance between the self and the subject as the texture of fog. His Workroom series presents the artist’s reflections and emotions arising from his everyday working environment — an ordinary yet symbolic space where memory, time, and feeling intertwine. LIM renders the flow of unseen air and the density of emotion, expanding the depth of sensory experience that painting can hold.

In this joint presentation at ACK, ARARIO GALLERY and CON_ Gallery explore how distinct regional and cultural contexts can intersect and expand the sensibilities and inquiries of contemporary art. Through the visual languages of their respective artists, the two galleries present a multifaceted landscape where technology and humanity, emotion and space, reality and imagination coexist — broadening the meaning of “collaboration” into a form of artistic dialogue. Through its participation in Art Collaboration Kyoto 2025, ARARIO GALLERY continues to explore the present and future of Asian contemporary art under the spirit of cross-generational, cross-regional, and cross- disciplinary collaboration. The experimental paintings of NOH Sangho and LIM Nosik invite viewers to question their own perception and sensibility in the age of technology.
