PS ROY presents Gwon Osang’s SCULPTURE CENTER 4/4 from May 1st through July 30th, 2026. The exhibition marks the final chapter of a yearlong project between the artist and PS ROY, and features a full scale rendition of an idea conceived in his earlier years and previously exhibited as an esquisse in his duo exhibition at Ilmin Museum of Art, The Other Self. <Inside Deodorant Type>, a sculpture covering all five surfaces of the 369 cm-high central exhibition cube, is presented alongside three preparatory esquisses that trace its development.

Gwon has long redefined sculptural conventions through his signature method of adhering printed photographs to lightweight iso-pink foam and coating the surface with resin. Challenging traditional notions of mass and material, the new work whilst continuing the usual photographic sculptural methodology departs from earlier approaches by designating the exhibition walls as the primary structural framework. Where traditional sculpture constructs form through an exterior logic—building upon or carving into a central core—this work uses the five planes of the exhibition space as its foundation, redirecting the viewer’s gaze inward. In doing so, it expands sculptural language into the realm of the interior, disrupting the historical hierarchy between sculpture and space and proposing a structural shift in which sculpture becomes the very condition of space.

The work references the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, an iconic early 20th-century building that combines innovative steel construction with ornate Art Nouveau decoration. The esquisse underpinning this project was produced in the early 2000s using virtual imagery captured from Google Maps, reflecting the artist’s long-standing interest in translating technologically mediated space into sculptural form.

To realize this vision, the artist sifted through numerous online images and fragmented this monumental building into discrete parts—reassembling them across the sculpture's structure. The deliberate omissions and distortions that arise in this process give rise to a new space articulated in the artist's own language: the stone, columns, and ornamentation of the original architecture are displaced by media as weightless as flat image, drifting away from the physical laws that architecture has long upheld. The photographic layers exceed simple collage, combining multiple temporalities and viewpoints into a single sculptural form. <Inside Deodorant Type> emerges as a new virtual real: an infinite space in which countless temporalities coexist at once.

Founded as a platform to reconsider the role of sculpture within contemporary art, PS ROY seeks to expand sculptural discourse in an era of increasingly fluid disciplinary boundaries. Its inaugural program was in collaboration with Gwon—a pioneer of Korean contemporary sculpture whose vocabulary has long pushed at the limits of the medium and whose work has demonstrated both a material experimentation beyond inherited traditions and artistic commitment to drawing art into the quotidian. Covering the entire exhibition cube with sculptural form, SCULPTURE CENTER 4/4 represents both the culmination of a year-long dialogue and a continued expansion of sculpture’s structural possibilities.
