Park Kyung Ryul

Park Kyung Ryul(b.1979, Seoul) has been continuing her serious contemplation to approach the pure human soul inherent in the instinctive act of ‘drawing’ and ‘seeing’ through a shift in the perception of the painting medium. This methodology could easily be misunderstood as a means of painting’s sculptural expansion, but in truth, her installations are not about bringing the forms inside the paintings outside. They are more about better understanding the composite of canvas and pigments through sculptural arrangement. Park endeavors to treat every element of painting equally from an ontological dimension. Park strives not to leave any representational form on her canvases, but the viewers continue to see figures from them. Park regards the viewer’s conventional painting-viewing attitudes of continually discovering certain shapes as part of her work, inviting the audience to glimpse into the free nature of painting and its painterly essence.

Sung Neung Kyung

Sung Neung Kyung’s daily practice of art has escaped critical notice, yet he has been active for much longer and his influence is felt more widely than many realize. Sung’s conceptual actions, documented through photographs and performance artifacts, reflect his decades-long interest in everyday moments of exchange between people in a social context. He seeks out “something that is not yet art,” the daily action that “seems to be nothing” as raw material for his artistic practice. These small gestures create a “mosquito noise” by activating everyday elements of behavior into a resonant, politically charged buzz.

Choi Sang Chul

Choi Sang Chul (1946-) received a BFA in painting from Seoul National University in 1969 and was a professor of painting at Chugye University for the Arts. His works have been collected by Seoul Arts Center, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Korea, and Daejeon Museum of Art. Choi has had fifteen solo exhibitions to date: Art Council Korea Art Center in 1982; Kisshodo Gallery, Kyoto, in 1996; AV Modern & Contemporary, Geneva, Switzerland, in 2020; and Art Space 3 Seoul, Korea,in 2021, among others.

Han Youngsoo

Born in 1933 to an affluent family in Gaeseong, Han Youngsoo showed artistic talent from a young age and pursued photography as a hobby. After his military service in the Korean War, he became a member of the Shinsunwhue (New Line) group, an association of realist photographers who championed “everyday life photography.” In Seoul, they documented the resurrection of the city in the late 1950s and the social realities of the Korean people.
