Reprised Reality features the mixed media works of seven Korean born artists, Jae Hi Ahn, Ju Young Ban, Eungyung Kim, Dong Suk Lee, Jin Lee, Mi-Kyoung Lee, and Han Joo Yoo. The exhibition presents the artists in pursuit of retrieving reality from their past, present, or imagination with a poetic and fantastic expression.

What captures the visual artists and what is the lingering reality for them? Reprised Reality exhibit the body of works which serve as a link between layers of time and place in the midst of half translucent or glittering appearance, which demonstrates narrative freedom of works to swing back and forth in either pictorial or sculptural field. The daily moments are modified, polished, fantasized, interconnected or recounted in the tactile sensibility of materials such as paper, textile, or plastic. The unifying themes of this exhibit can be seen as the collections of real and imaginary worlds, interpreted through clusters of breathing things such as flowers and other living creatures; and labor intensive individual stitches, all crowded within the so-called visual spectrum, too often overlooked in our everyday lives.
