After receiving a "classical" education in Western painting at Chungnam University, Noh Sanghee gradually moved beyond drawing and painting to explore all media and combinations, including digital. Today, he is a fully-fledged installation artist.
This does not mean disembodiment. On the contrary, his work is eminently personal and constantly questions his place, and ours, in society. According to Noh, the world has become a place where all kinds of constraints are purely systemic, from the pollution of fine, microscopic, and therefore invisible particles to the experience of a woman returning home alone at night. He is interested in this intangible quality that we feel very concretely in ourselves and in our bodies.
His work seeks to decode the systems that weigh us down and restore them to the sensory world. The world consists of particles, atoms, and dust in the material realm, as well as pixels and code in the immaterial realm. In our current era of constant dematerialized flows, digital art is a particularly fitting medium for expressing what moves us from within. His palette consists of data, fractals, oscillations, and binary language, which he renders in plays of light and sound. He places great importance on the liquid element, as a projection surface and living oscillogram. He finds ways to give space and sensation to the measurements of fine particles saturating the air and the electrocardiograms of women recounting traumatic experiences, incorporating painted and drawn works into these ensembles, as if to freeze a little of the immanent in impermanence.
We must not be fooled by the apparent coldness of his concepts. His work is literally extrasensory, and GartGi is proud to provide exclusive access to it : not only a serial piece from the Micro Dust 2017 exhibition, but also several watercolors created especially for GartGi.
