Dabin Ahn: ONE-OFF
Exhibition Duration: June 18th – July 16th, 2022
Gallery Hours: Tues – Saturday, 11-5PM
Opening reception: June 18th, 2022, 4:00-7:00 PM
Shatto Gallery is pleased to present ONE-OFF, a solo exhibition of paintings and sculptural works by the Chicago based artist Dabin Ahn. This show marks Ahn’s first exhibition with the gallery. The show will be on view from June 18th through July 16, 2022.
This exhibition highlights Dabin Ahn’s most recent body of paintings and large-scale sculptures bringing together a focus on the Royal Copenhagen figurines: a personal archive the artist has dwelled on as a subject of address. This recent suite of works marks a pivotal bend in Ahn’s practice, asserting his fascination in recontextualizing these particular objects.
Dabin Ahn (b. 1988, Seoul, Korea) is a visual artist based in Chicago, IL. Ahn received his BFA and MFA in painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has exhibited in various national and international galleries and institutions. He recently had solo exhibitions with Liminal Fictions, Selenas Mountain, Ridgewood, NY (2021); Apocrypha, curated by Stephanie Cristello, Chicago Manual Style, Chicago IL (2020) and many more. This is Ahn’s first solo exhibition with Shatto Gallery.
