Tina Kim Gallery is pleased to present Kang Seok Ho: Hold Still, the gallery’s second solo exhibition of the late Korean artist, on view from November 20, 2025 through January 24, 2026. Bringing together Kang’s Couple and Nude paintings—created between the mid-2010s and 2021—the exhibition traces the artist’s sustained engagement with the human figure as a site for exploring painterly surface, materiality, and form. Depicting bodies and intertwined faces yet stripped of narrative and erotic intent, these works reflect Kang’s deep fixation on painting itself—and his fascination with how the effort to see and depict another contains the paradox of closeness and distance inherent in human relationships.
