Hyunwoo Li(b.1990) captures everyday scenes and presents them with a familiar yet fresh perspective and flow. He translates moments from ordinary life-whether a landscape glimpsed while driving or a scene encountered while walking-into paintings, imbuing still surfaces with a sense of movement, density, and temporality. Through layers of countless brushstrokes and a rich palette, his works, grounded in careful study of specific subjects and artistic contemplation, offer viewers and a brief pause- a moment to catch their breath-amid the ever-changing rhythms of daily life.

Eunju Kim attempts to sense light and capture it as a unit of particles and waves. After earning a bachelor's degree in Western painting at Chung-Ang University and a master's degree in the School of Fine Art at the graduate institution, she is exhibiting her works in various venues. The artist creates her own artistic universe by casting light and circular units over all objects. Focus on the shape of light projected onto the object rather than the object itself, and consider the origin of visible and invisible beings and include them in her works. 

Le Phi Long (b.1988) is a visual artist based in Ho Chi Minh City and Dalat, Vietnam. He
graduated in interior design at Hue Fine Art University in 2012. Long’s practices include paintings,
site-specific art and conceptual objects. His practice is based on the study of the historical and
geographical origins of humans, intervention in the cultural shift and the effects in the community,
especially his generation.
Long feels that his generation lacks knowledge of Vietnamese history. Local materials and teaching
documents about this matter are incomplete, and this has impacted the way his generation identify
themselves, their journey of self-development and the connection to the international community.
Long is eager to search and compare local and international materials to close the knowledge
gap. Since 2016 Long has been focusing on the Dong Duong Lang Du project, which examines
French Indochina archives (late 19th and early 20th centuries) to explain the concern in the issue
of generation transmission in Vietnam.
Long co-founded the artist residency eNAME Art Center in Hanoi (2012) and MOIland, an art
center in Dalat (2017). He took part in residencies at Sàn Art in Vietnam (2013), the Bamboo
Curtain Studio in Taiwan (2015), Asian Highway Project in Korea (2018) and the Cité
Internationale des Arts in Paris (2020). Phi Long has exhibited and taken part in programs in the
UK, USA, Belgium, Portugal, France, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Pablo Ruiz Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer who spent most of his adult life in France. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), and the anti-war painting Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War. Picasso demonstrated extraordinary artistic talent in his early years, painting in a naturalistic manner through his childhood and adolescence. During the first decade of the 20th century, his style changed as he experimented with different theories, techniques, and ideas. After 1906, the Fauvist work of the older artist Henri Matisse motivated Picasso to explore more radical styles, beginning a fruitful rivalry between the two artists, who subsequently were often paired by critics as the leaders of modern art. Picasso's work is often categorized into periods. While the names of many of his later periods are debated, the most commonly accepted periods in his work are the Blue Period (1901–1904), the Rose Period (1904–1906), the African-influenced Period (1907–1909), Analytic Cubism (1909–1912), and Synthetic Cubism (1912–1919), also referred to as the Crystal period. Much of Picasso's work of the late 1910s and early 1920s is in a neoclassical style, and his work in the mid-1920s often has characteristics of Surrealism. His later work often combines elements of his earlier styles. Exceptionally prolific throughout his long life, Picasso achieved universal renown and immense fortune for his revolutionary artistic accomplishments and became one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art.

Kim Seoul was born in 1983 in Daegu, South Korea, where she spent her early years. After graduating from the Department of Printmaking at Hongik University, she went on to earn both her master’s and doctoral degrees in Painting and Printmaking from Tama Art University in Japan. Though her real name is Kim Sohee, the artist works under the name "Kim Seoul." This choice was inspired by other artists who create a separation between their personal identity and artistic persona. She selected "Seoul"—a name recognizable even to those outside Korea—as a way to symbolically represent her practice and identity as an artist.

In her series “Solitary Box Diary,” Kim Seoul shifts from her earlier works, which visualized urban density and solitude through box-like structures, to a more introspective focus on personal space and daily life. She folds cardboard boxes and flattens them onto paper surfaces, using silkscreen printmaking techniques to highlight the traces left behind. Everyday imagery and experiences are then drawn over the surface, inviting viewers to reflect on and connect with shared moments from ordinary life.

Expanding the language of craft to an architectural scale, Lee Myungjin conceives and fabricates ceramic modules engineered with upper–lower joints. Where modules meet, lines and planes intersect; steps between verticals and horizontals accumulate into an open-ended system, and in the cadence of repetition an assured sense of architectural proportion emerges.
Built coil by coil, the clay locks together with the precision of masonry, while the finished surfaces and tones recall concrete, brick and other building materials. This approach grows from the artist’s resolve to push past studio constraints and actively recalibrate form and scale—a throughline made clear in the series Stacked Room and Column.

Lee’s works fuse craft exactitude with an architectural syntax: the poise of line and plane, the discipline of proportion and interval, producing objects where utility and figuration coexist. The module, as a primary unit, operates like the language of an architectural drawing—densely plotted lines and symbols. Yet Lee moves beyond that regimented order, continually experimenting with and substantiating new sculptural silhouettes through varied permutations of the module.


Kyukun Kang depicts the narrative in the uncertainty of daily life, which consists of light and darkness. After completing a bachelor's degree in Western painting at Gachon University and a master's degree in Western painting at Sungkyunkwan University, he has continued to draw unpredictable scenarios on canvas. His work, which reflects ordinary daily life and characters, includes clear contrary between light and shadow. Through an anxious, dreamy, and melancholy atmosphere, the artist takes the audience into their inherent stories. As a beginning point for his paintings he uses people's unstable features exposed to an unpredictable future, thereby inspiring people's imagination of events that would occur after the scene. 

Abdessemed is a conceptual artist who works in a range of media including drawing, video, photography, performance, and sculpture, and collaborates with creators from many fields, from poetry to dance and architecture. He manipulates familiar materials and images to create provocative and often violent works influenced by his exposure to the Gulf War and its global impact. Drawing on personal, political, and historical narratives, the artist believes that his art “is a confrontation that leads to a break with the norm and is accompanied by extreme anger,” but that his work is simultaneously  “…actually positive. The world is violent – not me".
Abdessemed’s work has been presented at four Venice Biennales (2003, 2007, 2011, 2015), where he received the Benesse Prize in 2007.  He has been the subject of solo exhibitions at major institutions including the Centre Georges Pompidou, the San Francisco Art Institute, MoMA PS1, and the Musée d’art moderne et contemporain in Geneva. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Musée d’art moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Musée national d’art moderne Georges-Pompidou, Paris, the Collection Budi Tek, Shanghai, and the Fondation François Pinault, Venice, among others.

Lucas Dupuy, born in 1992 in London, has established a unique artistic approach that explores the synthesis of language and form, influenced heavily by the robust and impactful designs of 20th-century Brutalist architecture. His work often explores the relationships between architectural structures and artistic expression, as evident in his paintings and drawings which play with perspective, composition, and structural elements. Dupuy's career is highlighted by numerous exhibitions across prestigious venues in London, Tokyo, and Cologne, showcasing his dynamic use of space and architectural concepts in art. He has received several awards, such as The Acme City & Guilds of London Art School Studio Award in 2017, underscoring his contributions to contemporary art. Additionally, Dupuy engages in multidisciplinary practices, incorporating sculpture and sound installations that complement his visual narratives, reflecting his broad artistic repertoire.

Peter Ravn explores the existential conditions of being human in contemporary society. Through the loss of identity, control, and certainty, he exposes the latent tension that defines modern existence. His figures appear simultaneously as agents and as victims, inhabiting a liminal state between action and surrender. Rather than offering a linear narrative, Ravn constructs staged scenes and cinematic mise-en-scènes that invite the viewer’s interpretation. His visual language, informed by his background in graphic design and film, evokes theatrical moments of conflict and reflection—an aesthetic inquiry into the psychological and social dimensions of anxiety.

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.


Phatcharaphan Raiva is a graduate of Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Fine Arts and Applied Arts.
Phatcha’s career as an artist has grown exponentially since her graduation in 2008. Her father, an artist, has had a great influence on her work. After a very successful solo exhibition in 2014, she participated in the 2nd International Watercolor Competition in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Since then, she has participated in many international watercolor exhibitions and biennials, including the 1st International Watercolor Biennial 2016 in Hong Kong and the 2nd International Watercolor Biennial 2017 in Tirana, Albania.

Seongjoon Hong(b.1987) continuously investigates the properties of painting, particularly its mediums and materials. Through various techniques, Hong repeatedly depicts scenes layered with smooth, thin, or translucent membranes that subtly reveal the flat canvas surface and the materials composing it. His works feature delicately colored landscapes where light refracts through layered silhouettes, leaving behind only faint shadows where color and image have dissolved. In his Layers of the air series, for instance, Hong centers soap bubbles on the canvas or positions them just beyond the frame, focusing on their lightness and transparency. By zooming in on these surfaces, he distorts the landscape, allowing waves of projected light to transform his work into abstract paintings.

Hong holds both a BFA and MFA in Fine Arts from Hongik University in Seoul. He has held solo exhibitions including at SEOJUNG ART(Seoul & Busan, 2024), 68projects(Berlin, Germany, 2024), Prompt Project(Seoul, 2023), Galerie BHAK(Seoul, 2022), Pipe Gallery(Seoul, 2022) and Hakgojae Design Project Space(Seoul, 2020). He has also participated in various group shows, including at Art Space Hohwa(Seoul, 2024), Frieze No.9 Cork Street(London, UK, 2024), ThisWeekendRoom(Seoul, 2024), M5 GALLERY(Ginja, Japan, 2023), Art space Hohwa(Seoul, 2023), Galerie BHAK(Seoul, 2022), Seojung Art Center(Seoul, 2022), Koo House Museum(Yangpyeong, 2022), Ilwoo Space(Seoul, 2022), and UARTSPACE(Seoul, 2019). He was selected as a 2020 New Hero by Public Art Magazine and participated in the 68projects Residency(Berlin, Germany, 2023). His works are part of collections at the PARKSEOBO Foundation and Art Space Hohwa.


Born in 1981 Gifu, and raised in Aichi, Japan. At the age of twenty, he moved to California, U.S.A. to pursue an art career. He spent four years in the Bay area doing live painting, mural and participating in both solo exhibitions and art events. While living in San Francisco, he discovered a small group of avid bicyclists and became a bike messenger. It was through his experience as a courier that he found his essence of life and the conceptual basis for his art. In 2006, he returned to Japan. Initially he lived in Tokyo, where he continued to work as a messenger and became involved in the bicycle industry. He is involved in art curating, company/collaborative projects, and continues to exhibit his artwork world-widely. He currently resides in the countryside, Atsumi Peninsula, where he can ride a bike, surf, fishing and farming.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands; With a loving heart, UARTSPACE, Seoul (KR); My Beatrice; IDOL, UARTSPACE, Seoul (KR); Children Crossing the Night, Seoul National University Museum of Art, Seoul (KR); The body of modern painting, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Cheongju, Cheongju (KR)

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.

Hijo Nam is a Korean-born contemporary artist based in New York, with a BFA and MFA from Pratt Institute.
Her work spans painting, installation, and textiles, exploring themes of existence, cycles, and motherhood.
In her recent exhibition Threads of Origin, she visualized the flow of memory, myth, and healing.

Stripping away the symbols that we indifferently encounter daily, Kim depicts the unreadable shapes on canvas. The artist’s refusal of readily accepted norms of social symbols feels both lighthearted and romanticized in her art.
