Haejin Yoon creates emerging new dimensions with fragments of memory drawn from various cultures, from ancient Lascaux cave paintings to extraterrestrial creatures in Sci-fi films. Yoon uses rich colors and uninhibited expressions to bring out her key word of High-Voltage Low-Tech reflected in her artworks. Her paintings and collage works depict new signs and icons with dynamic expressions. Following her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Fine Arts completed at Parsons School of Design, Yoon began her international career. She received wide attention following her solo exhibition at the A.I.R. Gallery (2009) receiving favorable reviews from New York Times critic, Roberta Smith.

Theresia Venance Massawe (Theresia M.) is a Tanzanian painter who believes creativity promotes healing. Drawing from cartoons in local newspapers and animated films as a child, and the organic shapes in her surroundings, led her to pursue painting.
Her distinctive style has drawn numerous art enthusiasts from various backgrounds. In March 2022, she presented in a group exhibition "An Ode to Women" at Rangi Gallery, where she had previously participated in the Ashley Collins Workshop. In July 2022, she also took part in an exhibition at the American Ambassador’s residence in Tanzania, the Torrent Exhibition at Nafasi Art Space in 2023, and Women Artist Art Week exhibition at Rangi gallery.
She has also recently had her solo exhibition “ALL ROADS LEAD HERE” at the Dar es Salaam center for architectural heritage.

Lee Koz, through her artwork, delivers a deep contemplation on profound themes. The boundaries between memory and dreams, and the translational gaps and accompanying confusion that emerge from these boundaries, are experiences many people encounter but find difficult to articulate clearly. The artist attempts to represent these intricate concepts through her paintings. She explores how techniques evolve between the history of representation and the desire for documentation. Reproduction raises questions about what and how we remember, and these questions play a central role in a artist's creations. Lee Koz communicates his unique perspective on memory, dreams, and the spaces in between through her art. By addressing these topics, she connects with the lives of all, providing an opportunity for deeper thought and self-reflection.

Embarking on his career in 1991 as a freelance sculpture artist, Pawarest Choksaen (Doe) (b.1970, Bangkok, Thailand) transitioned into the role of Art Director at an advertising agency in 1997. In 2019, he made the pivotal decision to resign from the advertising agency, embracing a full-time commitment to his passion as a fine artist.

In his artistic journey, Choksaen delves into the lives of those in his community, keenly observing their gestures, activities, and diverse perspectives. Through the expressive medium of acrylic paintings, his works become windows into the stories that unfold in the everyday lives of individuals within different contexts.

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.

“Unlike my unstable self, who might suddenly disappear or explode, I was drawn to the beautiful stability found in the order and systems of physics.” Hyojeong Son (b.1987) begins her work from this contemplation. Her practice is deeply rooted in an inquiry into physics and mathematics, which she interprets through visual language. Simple symbols and geometric forms serve as the foundation for carefully constructed compositions, imbued with balance, direction, and structure. Her complex visual systems incorporate light, space, and collage to transcend linear time and express invisible forces. Son’s work operates as both a visual investigation of physics and a poetic bridge between science and art.

Chu Mirim(b. 1982) is based is Seoul. Using pixels as elements in her work, Chu engages in formative experiments that go beyond design and fine art. She critically explores keywords related to computer graphics, pixels, and the internet etc., and she has great interest in producing work where the cross- sectional aspect of images used in social network sites may be viewed from various angles. All her works, in particular, transform a visually hidden web-based society into a series of images, reflecting the artist’s intention to directly present the digital landscape around us. As time passes, her perspective which looks at the life forms of the contemporary young generation gets brought out across a more diverse spectrum.

After studying at Columbia University, he moved to the Bowery, joining that neighborhoods’ vibrant artistic community. It was there that he met Andy Warhol, who shot footage of him sleeping for his first film, Sleep. John Giorno’s collaborators have included William S. Burroughs, Robert Rauschenberg, Patti Smith, Philip Glass, Robert Mapplethorpe and, more recently, Elizabeth Peyton, Pierre Huyghe and Ugo Rondinone.

In 1965, Giorno founded Giorno Poetry Systems, an artists’ collective and record label, to relay poetry to a wider audience using innovative means of communication. One such innovation was Dial-A-Poem, which, since 1968, has continuously allowed access to anyone who wishes to hear poetry readings over the phone. John Giorno is also a pioneer of performance poetry, intense spoken word events performed before a live audience.
In the 1980s, Giorno begins to add a pictorial dimension to his work, creating Poem Paintings composed of words and phrases from his poems in the form of paintings, murals, drawings and screen prints.

Park Mira observes emotions, exploring where they originate and what factors contribute to their
formation. While acknowledging that emotions are largely personal and subjective, she is interested in how emotions can be construed and interpreted within the context of society. She primarily works with black materials to carve out images and narratives that emerge in the space between consciousness and the unconscious.
She stages uncomfortable and discordant situations at the boundary between reality and the imaginary, exploring narrative structures that unfold simultaneously within the frame. She seeks to connect spaces, stories, consciousness, the unconscious, the virtual, and the real, using mediums such as drawing, animation, instalation, and painting.
Park Mira has held solo exhibitions including 《Pairing》 (2023, SeMA STORAGE), 《Interlude》 (2022, Art Space Boan 2), 《Walk In The Dark" (2020, A-Lounge), and 《The Waves at Night》 (2019, Gyeonggi
Museum of Modern Art Project Galery). She has also participated in group exhibitions such as 《Between Shot》(2023, Galery In HQ), 《Kaleidoscope》 (2022, A-Lounge), 《Over and Above》 (2022, DooNamJae ArtCenter), 《Mappin Memory: The Bunker》(2022, SeMA Bunker), 《Guide Mark》 (2021, Galery In), 《What if》 (2021, A-Lounge). In 2023, Park Mira was honored with the “Chongkundang Yesuljisang” and recognized as a “SeMA Emerging Artists &Curators” Park Mira is currently participating in a residency program at the Suwon Art Studio after completing residencies at the Gyeonggi Creation Center in Residency Program and the Cheong-ju Art Studio.

Gabriel Orozco attended the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas between 1981 and 1984 and in 1986, moved to Madrid to continue his studies. In 1987, Orozco returned to Mexico City, where he associated with a group of other artists including Damián Ortega, Gabriel Kuri, Abraham Cruzvillegas and Dr. Lakra.

In 2019, the President of Mexico announced that Orozco would, in conjunction with the Secretariat of Culture, oversee the construction of a major new cultural center within Chapultepec Park in Mexico City. Gabriel Orozco lives and works between Tokyo, Mexico City and New York.

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.

Anouk Lamm Anouk is ar=s=c prac=ce spans pain=ng, drawing, sculpture, installa=on, and wri=ng. Their manifesto claims: “No Age, No Gender, No Origin”, or as they say: “I am no one I am nothing” which could be a reference to their embedment in Zen Buddhism. Anouk iden=fies as trans-non-binary and by virtue of this and living as a Person with au=sm, it is crucial to them to rid themselves of the external a`ribu=ons and labels that come from norma=ve society in order both to see and encounter others without the violence of classifica=on and an=cipa=on, to be truly open.
The star=ng point of their pain=ngs is the raw linen, the canvases itself is crucial. The unprimed frontside of the linen is a living part of their works and becomes a connec=ng visual element across several series. Their colour pale`e is strictly limited, most oDen to earthy colours, hues of black and off-white are also present; reduc=on is key. Anouk works both in series and independently of series – some pain=ngs are solely abstract, while others are predominantly figura=ve – all of which is connected by unique handwri=ng and gestural strokes. Text or text fragments are also part of their prac=ces. The texts are inten=onally unobtrusive, some=mes they require viewers to look for them. These give a hint or raise ques=ons.
In their work, Anouk returns to certain mo=fs, beings, and rhythms, which they unite together into a singular, holis=c cosmos, with the aim of conjuring peaceful spaces for contempla=on with a strong undercurrent of desire. This can be seen in their mostly figura=ve representa=ons in the “Lesbian Jazz” series, which features abstract symbols and mo=fs embedded next to naked bodies. The bodies on the canvas are oDen female or non-binary, some=mes sexless, and always anonymous. Faces or facial expressions are rare and usually leD out, because “Lesbian Jazz” portrays above all iden=ty, a lifestyle, a community, and not individualised portraits. Their ar=s=c prac=ce emerges from the urgent need for queer visibility in a world rife with discrimina=on, and their pain=ngs explore the visual languages of fluid iden=ty and body as they are coded and re-coded within society.

ERTHH
b. 2000, Bangkok, Thailand

Thanathorn Phattarathada, better known as ERTHH, graduated from the Faculty of Decorative Arts at Silpakorn University in 2022.
ERTHH is inspired by Thai master, Prateep Kochabua, known for his surrealist paintings, as well as inspired by his study and interest in Carravagio’s use of light and shadow, frequently experimenting with techniques of chiaroscuro.  He practiced still life compositions and then gradually started to integrate elements of his upbringing and passion for cartoons and illustrations, eventually forming his unique style and canvases.
Young and energetic, while exuding an air of maturity beyond his age, ERTHH creates pop surrealist paintings with a fresh take, illustrating a character that reflects on his own learning experiences.  Though the boy “Cheek” is expressed in a calm and quiet manner, he represents both the artist's highs and lows.  Beneath each detail is a story that is waiting to be unfolded.

PARK Wunggyu (b. 1987) has consistently presented works that explore the painterly possibilities of Oriental art by creating a symbolic order of positive and negative through subjects that evoke ambivalent emotions.  He specialized in Oriental painting, captures images on canvas that evoke ambivalent characteristics, based on his artistic responses to classical Buddhist paintings from Korea and Japan. Particularly, he refers to the 'Hwayukbeop' (畵六法, Six Principles of Painting) of Oriental painting, constituted by imitation, composition, form, texture, transformation, and application. Drawing on these principles, he incorporates into his artwork ambiguous emotions and sensations provoked by 'negativity', such as negative things, situations, and emotions. The series "Dummy” that began in 2015 initially depicted forms of monsters and gods without a specific subject. However, starting from 2019, it began to adopt realistic forms by borrowing from various insects like moths and cicadas, as well as from grotesque creatures. In the new 2023 work, a set of ten pieces titled Dummy No. 91~100 (2023) was introduced, showcasing the unique formative aspects seen from different parts of a cow's internal organs, magnifying and describing them in detail. Additionally, inspired by the Zen painting 'Sibu do' (十牛圖, Ten Ox-Herding Pictures) that characterizes human nature in 10 stages, the artist presented a work named The Ten Oxherding Pictures (2023), concentrating the process of eating, digesting, and excreting a cow in 10 frames. Another piece, Scar No.17 (2023), interpreted the ten types of a cow's internal organs using Chinese characters, was also displayed alongside the aforementioned works.




PARK Wunggyu was born in Seoul, Korea, in 1987. He received his BFA in Korean painting at Chugye University for the Arts in 2010, and MFA in Korean painting at Chugye University for the Arts in 2015. PARK Wunggyu began his active career as a resident artist at the Cheongju Art Studio from 2016. He has held solo exhibitions at various institutions such as ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL (Seoul, Korea, 2023), Art Space Boan1(Seoul, Korea, 2022), Onground2 (Seoul, Korea, 2018), and Space Kneet (Seoul, Korea, 2017), Cheongju Art Studio (Cheongju, Korea, 2016), as well as group exhibitions held at Ilmin Museum of Art (Seoul, Korea, 2023), Seoul Museum of  Art (Seoul, Korea, 2022), Danwon Art Museum (Ansan, Korea, 2021), Art Sonje Center (Seoul, Korea, 2021), Aram Art Museum (Goyang, Korea, 2019), and more.

Xian Kim (b. 1992) graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Printmaking from the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University, China, and subsequently completed her Master's at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, also in China, specializing in Printmaking. Kim reimagines familiar biological forms and objects with a texture akin to plastic, focusing solely on their essence by stripping away all non-essential elements commonly encountered in everyday life. The still life compositions of re-envisioned objects and organisms exude an absence of warmth, yet they remain objective, simple, and sometimes brutally honest. Through her works, everything within the canvas exists in an ideal state of non-existence, free from the complexities of reality—conceptual layers are removed, creating a unique utopia exclusive to Xian Kim.

Jung Kwang Ho, who aims to weave between painting and sculpture, desires to explore the essence and interpretation of sculpture in particular. A sculpture is a tangible representation of an image manifested by the sculptor using materials, techniques, and tools to create a specific object in a particular way. Jung oxymoronically refers to his works as "non-sculptural sculptures," as he works with non-sculptural properties to create essentially sculptural works. The paradoxical expression is part of how he explores the essence of sculpture. The artist made no distinction between inside and outside, instead exposing the surface and penetrating through to suggest that surfaces are merely the superficial layer of sculptural essence and the surface of reality.
Jung presented solo exhibitions in various museums worldwide, including the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Art Sonje Museum in Gyeongju, Kumho Art Museum in Seoul, Gallery Thomas in Munich, Lumen Gallery in Paris, and Canvas International Art Gallery in Amsterdam. He also participated in significant group exhibitions at institutions such as the Seoul Museum of Art, Samsung Museum of Art Leeum, Singapore Art Museum, and Gyeonggi Museum of Art. His works are held in various collections, including the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Daejeon Museum of Art, Hanlim Museum of Art, Sonje Museum of Contemporary Art, and Ho-Am Art Museum.


Atreyu Moniaga is an Indonesian artist based in Jakarta. He gradu- ated with a degree in Communications and Visual Design from the Jakarta Institute of the Arts (IKJ) and started his career in the creative scene as a freelance illustrator and photographer. His works are influ- enced by dark fantasies with a tinge of surrealism, in which he com- bines visual symbolisms as a way to communicate his most private thoughts, feelings, and desires. Although he takes inspiration from somber sentients, his works are characterized by a whimsical universe filled with beautiful ornamental details. Working primarily in paint- ing and drawing, Atreyu has recently explored sculpting and remains open to cross-disciplinary collaborations. 

Complex emotions that are often perceived as negative, such as despair, grief, and anguish but they are fuels to his artistic process. Moniaga tries to convey these emotions through the visual universe he invented. Incorporating reference from popular culture, medie- val legends, and religious stories, Moniaga crafts symbols and coded visual languages in his paintings as a way to express his innermost thoughts, feelings, and desires. He hopes his audience can find a source of hopefulness and self-acceptance to confront their own grim facets. He often allows himself to be lost in his own thoughts, where He feels unbound in creating these fictional stories and characters found in his works, his universe. 

Inhyeon Lee(b. 1958) majored in painting at Seoul National University and obtained a master's and doctoral degree from the Graduate School of Tokyo University of the Arts. He served as a professor at the Department of Painting at Hansung University for over 30 years and trained younger students. Since the early 1990s, he has continued the ‘L'épistémè of Painting’ series, which raises philosophical questions about the historical structure of art. To this day, he has achieved outstanding pictorial achievements through endless challenges. Inhyeon Lee held 21 solo exhibitions across Korea and Japan. He also participated in numerous group exhibitions at home and abroad, including the INDEPENDENTS exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art in 1979 and 1980, the Gwangju Biennale in 2000, Grand Palais Paris, Seibu Museum of Art in Japan, Artcore Gallery in LA, Institute of Contemporary Art in Singapore, and Seoul Museum of Art. Participated in numerous group exhibitions at home and abroad, including at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He won the Award of Excellence at the 1st SPACE International Prints Biennale and the Grand Prix at the 10th Seoul International Print Biennale. His works are collected in the National Museum of Modern Art, the British Museum, and the Seoul Museum of Art.

After working as an architecture 3D renderings in Japan, he moved to the United States and started working as an artist in New York. He creates characters called Poi in sculptures and paintings, and installs them in various places in the city. When he sees the installation locations on a map, he places them in the shape of Poi. “Poi” means “Path of Imagination”. The artist's wish is that everyone in the world can live in harmony so that everyone can smile. The Poi placed throughout the town heals and encourages the hearts of those who meet them, like Jizo statues on the roadside.
