IntroductionGalerie d’Orsay is pleased to announce a special sculpture exhibition featuring works by our newest contemporary artist, Cha Jong-Rye.

In Cha’s wood carved sculptures, we see a juxtaposition of industrial land-scape and natural elements. Through minimalist themes of patterns and rep-etition, her work evokes a vast yet intimate landscape of smooth surfaces and geometric topographies, showcasing her mastery of carving techniques.

Cha’s work has been featured at the Sungoko Art Museum and the Nampo Art Museum in Korea, and in numerous private collections around the world. We are honored to introduce her work and share this innovative collection with you.
