Icheon, South Korea, b. 1984

Seungwon Yang majored in photography at Seoul Institute of the Arts and received her master's degree in fine arts from Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London. He creates pseudo-images that blur the boundaries between reality and fabrication using digital images, exploring the possibilities of extending the field of epistemology and photography. He is currently working on revealing hidden aspects of contemporary society, disrupting the taken-for-granted process of perception, and the process of recognizing situations or landscapes that individuals face in modern society. He also captures the heterogeneity created at the intersection of reality and fiction in an expanded concept. He questions the landscapes of harsh reality resulting from a superficial understanding of regions and places, and the differences in materiality visible in the gap between nature and imitation. He has held solo exhibitions at various venues, including N/A (2022), Seoul Museum of Art SeMA Storage (2021), Hite Collection (2019), and SongEun ArtCube (2018).

Eastern Edition x Artue Collaboration

A collaboration between Eastern Edition, which interprets the intrinsic aesthetics of Korea through a contemporary lens, and Artue, an online art platform driving the digital transition of the art industry. The collaboration took place in both the first and third showrooms of Eastern Edition, with Artue meticulously selecting works by Lee Ufan, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Kim Yong-Ik, Seungwon Yang, LeeEu, Im Jaehyoung, Seokwoo Chung, and Jonghwan Jin. This curation ensures contemporary artworks harmoniously blend with the sophisticated monochromatic spaces, enhancing their natural elegance.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon explores the garden as the artists’ reaction to nature and the world around us, and the way the artists grant the garden their own symbolic meaning. The exhibited works explore issues of reality and fiction, or simulacrum and reproduction, and attempt at methodological experiments that observe and represent the various ecosystems around us today in diverse ways. They also use nature as the motif to metaphorically reveal the psychological state derived from an individual's identity, or build a media ecosystem that interacts with the audience. In essence, the exhibition is the outcome of the artists’ insightful perspective, senses, and interpretation of the world.

Glimpse

Seungwon Yang's solo exhibition "Glimpse" blurs the boundaries between reality and fabrication through 'similar images,' exploring the possibilities of artistic epistemology and the expansion of the photographic domain. As part of the emerging artist exhibition support program operated by the Seoul Museum of Art, the exhibition was conducted. The artist presents 'similar images' that challenge conventional perceptions, transitioning between two and three dimensions, such as photographing an object created to resemble the 'sun' inspired by the spherical and elongated surface of a bath bomb. The digitally recorded and artificially processed images by the artist are fictional, yet they evoke the essence derived from pre-existing knowledge and information.
