Exhibition Information

			The Kim chong-yung Museum of Art has held the "Creative Support Artist Exhibition" every year since 2009 to honor the maintenance of Kim chong-yung, a pioneer of abstract sculpture in Korea and a lifelong devotion to Korean sculpture art education. In the meantime, many young artists have actively engaged in creative activities based on this exhibition and have become the pillars of the Korean sculpture industry. This year, we will select and display artists Kim Young-bong, Kim Jung-hyun, and Han Kwang-woo despite the stagnation of performances and exhibitions in Covid 19.

Kim Young-bong exhibits under the title "Seed of Resistance". Existence resists. He is concerned about the serious ecological problems stemming from a human-centered mass-consumption society and is committed to working with a new attitude. Due to the nature of the genre of sculpture, various materials are dealt with, but the unconsumed works are disposed of as industrial waste. He presents a serious reflection on how to solve this contradiction committed by the nobility of creating works of art.

Kim Jeong-hyun presents a familiar wooden work titled "Cutting the Forest - Crying Boundary". He shares a bond with an empiricist that all knowledge comes from experience. These exhibits originated from a field trip to cut down dead giants. Through his work, he aims to provide the audience with a chance to experience the vivid experiences and feelings of the logging scene at a time when a huge creature was cut and processed for human needs.

Han Gwang-woo exhibits the poetic title "Portrait of Seoul". Just as the core of the portrait is the "Jeon Shin Sa-jo", he tried to look inside us now with a poet-like sensibility. He replaced the plaster with a spinning wheel to create a portrait that looked like a pillar of ancient Western architecture. It's a very allegory-like piece, and it's to look at what he's looking at and shaped right now, just like Allegory's original meaning of "speak differently".

Please watch it a lot.
Thank you.
