Jo Jae

BB&M is pleased to announce Liquid Modernity, a group exhibition featuring Jo Jae, Haevan Lee, and Sikyung Sung, three Korean painters belonging to the generation born in the final decade of the previous century. Taking its title from sociologist Zygmunt Bauman's seminal book Liquid Modernity, the exhibition presents works that register the reconfiguration of relationship between sense and matter, memory and image, capturing the affective currents of a changing era. Each artist expands the perception of an indeterminate, mutable world into a distinctive visual language, guiding viewers beyond optical experience toward moments of contemplative resonance. Collectively, the works affirm painting as a vital and relevant field of inquiry that continues to engage with the fluid conditions of the present.
