Brett Charles Seiler's First Korean Solo Show 'Wish You Were Here' Opens at The Third Gallery Seoul
Brett Charles Seiler, a visual artist hailing from Zimbabwe and born in 1994, is set to unveil his inaugural solo exhibition in Korea, titled 'Wish You Were Here,' at The Third Gallery in Seoul. This event will run from 22 August to 30 September 2026. The showcase includes both paintings and wooden sculptures that delve into themes of travel and isolation. Seiler reimagines a small wooden suitcase as a symbolic artistic space. His background in photography influences his large canvas works, which reflect personal experiences and familial connections. The use of bitumen backgrounds evokes urban environments, creating an atmosphere of both confinement and openness, described as precious and profoundly poetic.
