Tom Howse uses humour to explore the balance between realism, fantasy and our desire to know and our inability to comprehend. The artist reconstructs the hierarchy of living things and invites the unstable reality into the comfortable setting of a personal living room.

Bosco Sodi is an artist working globally, known for his densely textured paintings and objects with rich and vivid colors. His paintings are crystallized forms of arduous physical application; a constant cultivation of removing any hint of his own intent in the painting and populating the surface with the essence of material and fortuitous development. The artist works with the canvas laid down horizontally, applying a viscous mixture of soil, sawdust, glue and pigment to aggregate and then left to solidify over time. This process is a performance of sorts. That performance may last up to several months, with each accumulated strata of material testimony to the artist’s actions. Eventually, in that process, the layers cleft, and that is when the performance ends. From then on, all is left to time and nature’s forces. Cracks appear naturally on the surface and traces of material transforming from the material to the substrate to the whole of the artwork - a strikingly formal experiment in painting. Sodi’s works are included in various public and private collections, such as Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Art, Kanazawa; Harvard Art Museums, MA; Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp; Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar; and the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.


Park Younghwan has sustained a painting practice grounded in the tradition of East Asian landscape painting, combining imagination with architectural composition. Through variations of ink on hanji including cheongmeok (bluish ink) and dameok (dense, fully-loaded ink) he lends subtle chromatic strata to black-and-white surfaces, juxtaposing nature and geometric form, figures and symbols, within a single scene. Perfect black spheres, Western buildings in modern styles, tangled stands of trees, and figures recalled from memory all find their place on the picture plane, where a fictive order and the artist’s personal temporality are realised simultaneously within the landscape.
The sphere (gu), the artist’s basic unit, appears as the most emblematic object in the work, distributed across the surface in differing sizes and gradations of ink as though tracing the arc of elapsed time. It becomes, at once, the artist himself present in the many times and spaces of a life’s journey and the record of a process moving toward the most ideal form of living to which he aspires.

Sunhotan is an artist who bases his work on the technique of ‘collage.’ He utilizes various forms of standardized ready-made products produced in modern capitalist society, focusing on how these mass-produced items acquire individual narratives through personal consumption, ultimately forming unique meanings in the process. Furthermore, he interprets the most fundamental human desire as the "desire for existence" and considers "consumption" to be the most rational means of expressing this desire within modern capitalist society. Based on this idea, he explores consumption from an aesthetic-philosophical perspective and reinterprets its meaning through his artwork. Building on these concepts, he continues to complete his works by transforming and reconstructing ready-made and mass-produced objects, utilizing the technique of collage.

Soyoung Kwon observes nature through an intuitive lens, translating it into reimagined landscapes on canvas. For her, nature is a presence that quietly seeped into her life—almost like destiny. Through a deep sense of communion with the natural world, long-buried emotions and sensations within her begin to awaken. She attentively observes fleeting moments and subtle natural phenomena, exploring them through instinct and sensitivity. The resulting landscapes merge the physical world, the sensory realm, and the invisible—creating spaces where the boundaries between what is seen, felt, and imagined begin to blur.
She absorbs surreal moments in which the boundary between self and nature fades, allowing them to flow through her entire being. These impressions are expressed fluidly on the canvas, shifting with her subjective and momentary states of consciousness. As they intermingle, they give rise to new synesthetic imagery. Her paintings go beyond depicting scenery—they exist as living flows where sensation and emotion are organically intertwined. Through this, she gently reveals the intricate interconnectedness of all things, offering a contemplative and poetic way of engaging with the natural world.

Sangyong Lee is an artist who actively exhibits in both Korea and New York. He has held 16 solo exhibitions, starting with his debut in Korea, and continuing with shows at Tenri Gallery in New York, Waterfall Gallery in New York, BK Gallery in Seoul, and Gallery Jeon in Daegu in 2022.

Born in 1985 in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mirza Cizmic is a Helsinki-based artist who primarily works with oil on primed paper. His practice also includes sculpture, performance, and video works.

Cizmic’s artistic expression is rooted in personal experience. Rather than painting through a conventional visual lens, he interprets the world through the filter of lived experience. His artistic language is divided into two instincts: one objective and formal, the other subjective and deeply personal. This duality creates a process of moving from confusion toward understanding.

He actively engages with the boundaries between art and life, art and society, and art and activism. His role as an artist is shaped by constant self-questioning, aiming to dismantle conventional taboos, depoliticize the discourse, and highlight the core of human experience.

Jihye, born in Seoul in 1993, is an artist who uses photography, videography, and writing to capture the essence of everyday life. Her fascination with her surroundings began at a young age when her father gifted her a camera. Her passion for recording the beauty of mundane moments has only grown stronger over time. Jihye's art is a reflection of her belief in the power of capturing and preserving moments that are often overlooked. Through her lens, she finds joy in revealing the beauty of the everyday world, from the landscapes that she encounters to the people she meets. Her work serves as a reminder that it's often the small, seemingly insignificant details that make life worth living. Jihye's art is deeply personal, yet it speaks to universal truths that connect us all. Through her art, she hopes to inspire others to appreciate the beauty of everyday life and to find joy in the moments that might otherwise be forgotten.

Kim Doyeon (b.1992) centers her work on how personal experiences are shared, aiming to evoke a sense of coexistence that includes even invisible elements of life through both individual narratives and broader dialogues with all living beings. She has created a series of drawings in response to letters received from exhibition viewers and has organized two-person exhibitions through exchanges with artists who share similar bodily experiences. Kim primarily works with finely detailed oil paintings and prints, employing a meticulous, persistent drawing technique that incorporates her own stories and gestures, expanding the possibilities for communication.

 Artist MAWZ has been drawn to Disney animation films and cartoons since childhood. While studying Fine Arts at Chung-ang University, the artist created a character to represent himself and painted the world through its eyes. The artist’s artistic stage name, MAWZ, is named after the character from his early work. His birth dream of sharks and the movie <JAWS> inspired its naming. 

 

The artist's work explores surrealism and symbolism, conveying messages of reality's absurdity, personal concerns, social situations, and aspirations. His work conveys social, cultural, and personal concerns through the use of symbolic imagery, featuring poetic symbolism and animated expressions. The symbols used include envelopes, ribbons, and eagles, and their meanings can be interpreted in different ways based on the viewer's perspective. His recent work revolves around exploring the absurdity of reality and social issues. He continuously experiments with new materials and conducts thorough research on the subject's background or history to add more depth to his work. 

 

The artist’s defining characteristic is his use of Matière, which is conveyed through simple and implicit expressions with cheerful colors and thick brushstrokes of paint. Before starting any artwork, the artist meticulously documents the content or stories he intends to convey. He draws inspiration and motivation from his imagination, surroundings, and personal experiences to depict his unique perspective in his work. His recent work emphasizes background and three-dimensional elements over characters and icons from his earlier pieces, adding depth and highlighting the message. His animated style and expressions capture deep concerns across diverse subjects and allow for varied interpretations among viewers.

 

The artist is experimenting with various mediums to refine and develop his style and expressed a desire to expand into creating more three-dimensional work, in addition to his current focus on two-dimensional paintings. The artist previously collaborated with various brands, including McDonald's, Volkswagen, Cass, and SM Entertainment, to communicate with the public. MAWZ uses the process of creating art as a means to illustrate his personal exploration of the future unknown. He seeks to share his journey with the audience to spread positive energy and convey optimistic promises of life. 

A world layered in light, the rhythm of time, and inner strata
Jian Yoo’s work delicately captures traces of life, materiality, and time within a rhythm that is both quiet and alive. Composed of thousands—sometimes tens of thousands—of points, lines, and planes of light, each piece flows across the surface, revealing an inner landscape shaped by time, experience, and environment.
Intangible layers of sensation emerge through the grain of light, moving ceaselessly toward the depths of the self. Mother-of-pearl, a recurring material in Yoo’s practice, serves as a quiet mediator between the natural world and the realm of consciousness—revealing the structure of being through a language of light.
“Exploring the nature of my materials is like looking inward. Within the flows of time and relationships that surround me, I translate quiet yet dynamic energy into fragments of light.”
The waves that ripple across the surface invite viewers to encounter the texture of perception and traces of time. Moving between material and immaterial, tradition and contemporaneity, the work visualizes the rhythm of the unseen—gently touching the viewer’s inner world and awakening forgotten layers of sensation.

Key Minjung (b. 1986) has been actively involved in the Seoul art scene since her selection as a Young Creative at OCI Museum of Art in 2019 and her participation in the <Artist Takeover> at SongEun Art Space in 2021. Her exhibition at SongEun in 2021, which saw a significant integration of hanji (traditional Korean paper) work and glasswork, marked a pivotal moment in her career. Minjung graduated from Kaywon High School of Arts, Seoul National University’s Oriental Painting Department, where she also completed her doctoral program. Growing up in the structured curriculum of Korean academic art education, where she focused on traditional Eastern media, laid the foundation for her passion and research in this field. The connection between the artist and the medium s evident in Minjung’s work, which includes landscapes where thin hanji paintings float away from the wall, forming specific shapes on the floor, or instances where paintings hung by the window leave pictorial traces on the wall due to the translucency of hanji. Key continues to imbue a sense of materiality and eternity onto a series of transient moments through her artistic endeavors.

Alum Lee uses patterns commonly found in the fashion industry, such as dots, stripes, and checks, to move between flatness and illusion, distorting the screen, and revealing flatness through pictorial traces. Through this, she evokes latent data about space, deconstructing and recombining them once again, overlapping layers to produce complex processes of work.

Yujiro Ueno is an up-and-coming artist creating paintings with motifs of dragons, tigers, birds, and other creatures based on the idea of "chi" in Eastern thought. Based on the theory of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements of the Universe, which views all things in the universe as two opposing elements

Zhu Peihong was born in Shanghai in 1987 and graduated from the printmaking department of Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2014 with a master’s degree.
The artist’s My Space series focuses on the dots, lines, and colour patches that flash in the picture in the process of creation as well as the traces left on the picture due to their convergence and dissolution. In this creative process, the strokes overlap and cover each other, and the paint slowly
drips and spreads, solidifies and stops, repeatedly until these fragmented traces, reaching an internal order, organically connect with each other and construct the conscious cyberspace perceived by the artist’s mind. The abstract dynamic air dome installation 'Space O' uses virtual reality technology to replace brushes with handles and canvas with the sky, releasing the magnificent colour energy existing in the universe. The artist combines art and technology to build a channel between virtuality and reality, connecting it with our world.

Sung Neung Kyung (b. 1944-) is a prominent Korean conceptual artist whose works embracing nontraditional mediums such as newspaper, photography, and performance broke the ground for experimental art in Korea. Sung debuted in Korea’s art scene in 1973 as a member of the avant-garde art group ST. Until the late 1980s, he showcased newspaper-related installations and performances challenging government censorship of the media and the press’ misuse of editorial power. Also, he was among the first artists in Korea to use photography in the context of fine art in the 1970s. 

Sung Neung Kyung’s daily practice of art has escaped critical notice, yet like the mosquito 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. The exhibition “Contraction / Expansion” reflects the artist’s ongoing interest in daily actions that become iconic when isolated within the context of the art work. “Contraction is what the people in power wanted and expansion is what the people under control wanted,” Sung explains. These small gestures create a “mosquito noise” by activating everyday elements of behavior into a resonant, politically charged buzz. 

Chris Measor, born in Ottawa, Canada in 1984, graduated from the Musashino Art University in Japan. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions both domestically and internationally, including two solo exhibitions in Thailand and South Korea. Based in Busan, he continues his artistic endeavors and is an artist whose international career is highly anticipated.
Chris Measor expresses various themes in his work, including European mythology, satire, philosophy, history, politics, and film, by anthropomorphizing animal characters. The animal figures in his works, such as cats, dogs, and rabbits, serve as engaging mediums that attract the audience's interest and guide them through the narrative. By using animals as motifs, the artist avoids potential biases that might arise from depicting human characters, where aspects like race, class, and age could distort the essential meaning he intends to convey. He aims for viewers to immerse themselves in the storytelling without preconceived notions. The artist encourages a reflection on the everyday characters that might be overlooked and hopes that each character in his works represents the protagonists of life, inviting the audience to explore their diverse stories. He creates a layered base on wooden panels using gesso and sanding techniques, applying acrylic gouache and acrylic ink to achieve depth and detail in his artwork.
