Exhibition Note
A “capsule collection” is a small collection of clothing or accessories that a fashion brand or designer releases in limited quantities. Unlike larger collections that come out every season, capsule collections feature a small number of items centered around a specific theme or concept. These collections are only available for a limited time and are highly sought after by fashion lovers due to their unique design and scarcity. ROY GALLERY’s “capsule collection” refers to a regular or irregular exhibition that presents to the public a juried selection of works—sourced from the gallery's collection that embody its identity and direction but one divergent from fashion concepts. The response generated by re-exhibiting the artist's old works is circulated among the various actors to reactivate the inherent function of the works. The first installment, CAPSULE COLLECTION 1.0, consists of older works from Jeonghyun Ha, Jina Jung, and Gyul.E Kim who all explore the continuity of abstract painting by crossing symbols and painting.

JeongHyun Ha
Describing her joyful creative process as her own “play”, Ha expresses this freedom through the painting methods of scratching and rubbing the colors on canvas. Through this process, her inner memories burst forth continuously like a series creating depth of layers. Contrary to an expectation of turbidity, the myriad of colors and layers appear luminous and impresses a certain delicate clarity that effectively captures memories of her bright and cheerful childhood.
Jina Jung
As an artist of the digital age, Jina Jung uniquely captures contemporary natural landscapes. She incorporate digitally interpreted elements of nature into her works to create new scenes. From the atmospheric colors, the rhythmic movements of grass, and the lightness of clouds, Jung delicately portrays non-specific imagery with fluidity.
Gyul.E Kim
Stripping away the symbols that we indifferently encounter daily, Kim depicts the unreadable shapes on canvas. The artist’s refusal of readily accepted norms of social symbols feels both lighthearted and romanticized in her art.
