The internationally acclaimed filmmaker Park Chan-wook (b.1963) has demonstrated his passion for photography through a wide variety of media channels. Park questions himself the reason behind the act of taking a picture, leading audiences to contemplate the nature of photography as a medium. In stark contrast to the carefully orchestrated scenes in his films, his photographs readily embrace happenchance and the unexpected, while at the same time possessing incisive and wry humor coupled with powerful drama. As the artist describes his photography practice, coincidence and spontaneity play crucial roles in his photographs as an 'antidote' to his experiences in filmmaking. Park, who as a commercial film director would have most astutely trained the ability to capture the sentiment of the times in his works, provides us with the motive to proactively expand the realm of unexpected beauty within the most habitual scenes of our everyday life.

Eun Sook JEON (b.1980, S. Korea) lives and works in Seoul.
She completed her M.F.A.(2006), B.F.A.(2003) in Sungkyunkwan University. Her main solo exhibitions include ≪Fragments of Sensation≫(Space xx, Seoul, 2024), ≪Slow Move≫(JIDAM gallery, Seoul, 2024), ≪Pacho≫(accompany, Busan, 2023), ≪Pipetting≫(Pyo gallery, online show).

Eun Sook JEON, an artist reminiscent of a TikToker in the art world, exudes an energy that bridges an anxious era with positivity. Her work blurs the line between realism that feels abstract, abstraction that feels realistic an improvisation that transcends boundaries, akin to an anthology of short stories where each scene carries its own distinct narrative. The artist’s character, which dismantles preconceptions, is evident in every aspect of her paintings. She finds beauty even in the flowers blooming in the garden of a redevelopment apartment complex, revealing empathy for soon-to-disappear places and discovering urban gardens in their natural state, thriving only when untouched by human influence. …The keen wiht evident in her work shines particularly as it embodies the stark contrast between life’s expectations and their actual outcomes. Her paintings resemble a collection of life’s ironies compiled as short stories, not for the sake of a polished narrative but to express a genuinely human language through color. _ by Ahn Hyun-jung (Art critic and PhD in Art Philosophy)

Luke Park creates a new beauty through the aesthetics of imperfection and minimal expression on an empty canvas. The artist, who majored in Business at Hongik University and received a master's degree in Arts and Cultural Management from the graduate institution, is claimed to have been interested in traditional Japanese culture for a long time. In particular, the Japanese dry garden culture, known as Zen Garden, influenced his current style of painting. Instead of incorporating incidental components in his works, he attempts to convey the meaning solely through the flow of brushstrokes. Exploring the true nature of life, the artist reveals via his works the necessary approach to life in our materialistic society.

Woo Lim Lee who was born in 1972 in Kyoungnam Province in South Korea is a Korean Asian Modern & Contemporary painter. He received both his BFA and MFA from Youngnam University. The figures that appear in the mysterious landscape/portrait paintings of Woo Lim Lee project the artist’s utopian desire for protection and insulation from the consequences of a rapidly expanding and fiercely competitive modern world. People look for beauty in nature, heal their wound through nature, and seek repose and meditation within nature. We dream and have a vision of another world through nature. His work is an evocation of the spirituality of modern people derived from their secret, mystic contact with nature. His work is steeped in a longing for mystic power and incantational imagery.

Atom (b. 2000, Bangkok, Thailand) graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Painting from the Faculty of Painting Sculpture and Graphic Arts at Silpakorn University in 2022. Atom’s work delves into the collective memory of historical events and explores the profound relationship between humans and nature. He believes in the interconnectedness of events and their enduring impact on society.

Atom presents reinterpretations of historical events within contemporary contexts through experimental painting. His work was prominently featured at 'Save Point' at Kinjai Contemporary in 2022, where he introduced new perspectives on historical narratives.

Cildo Meireles creates complex installations and sculptures that entice the viewer and challenge political, philosophical, and aesthetic precepts. Meireles’s artistic practice was shaped by the social and political conditions during the dictatorship of Brazil in the 1960s and ‘70s, and by the Neo-Concretism and avant-garde movements. Like his predecessors, Meireles merges physical, cerebral, and sensorial elements in works that elicit audience participation.  While Meireles’s works are often created in response to specific political events and situations, they evoke universal themes that are communicated through the viewer’s experience in a shared, rigorously designed and defined space.
Meireles’s work has been exhibited internationally, including the Biennales of Venice, Italy (1976, 2003, 2005, 2009); São Paulo, Brazil (1981, 1989, 1998, 2010); Documenta, Germany (1992, 2002); and Istanbul, Turkey (2003, 2015). The artist has been the subject of several large-scale and traveling solo exhibitions at renowned institutions, including Sesc Pompeia, Sao Paulo, Brazil (2019); Centro Nacional de Arte Contemporaneo Cerrillos, Cerrillos, Chile (2019); Fundação de Serralves, Portugal (2014) HangarBicocca, Milan, Italy (2014); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Spain (2013); Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Spain (2010); Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico (2010) and Tate Modern, England (2008).

Mr. OGAY is a street artist from Taiwan, and is a self-proclaimed angry youth filled with love. He has been invited to Japan, China, New York, and more, for graffiti projects.

Park Cheol-ho was born in Jeongeup in 1975. All of his creative stories are connected to form a worldview. Each story captures a moment in the personal history of human culture where complex emotions intersect. He determines the achievement of his work by the length of time the audience stays in front of his work. He does not unilaterally convey the artist’s story but seeks a communication method. The most important thing for the author is humor. Self-taught artist Park covers various media, including fiction, playwriting, painting, photography, video, film, sculpture, installation, and performance.

Wasinburee Supanichvoraparch, born in 1971, is a Thai artist based in Ratchaburi known for his innovative approach to ceramics, along with his work in photography, sculpture, and public art. A graduate in Fine Art with a ceramics major from Universitaet Gesamthochschule Kassel in Germany, he combines his expertise in traditional ceramic processes with a fascination for the uncontrollable elements that influence artistic outcomes. This theme of unpredictability, often portrayed with subtle humor and irony, runs throughout his diverse works, which challenge viewers’ perceptions of reality and the surreal. As the owner of Tao Hong Tai Ceramic Factory, Wasinburee’s practice is deeply connected to his family’s ceramic heritage, yet his contemporary approach has helped reshape Thailand’s ceramics scene.

Beyond his individual art, Wasinburee has had a lasting impact on the Thai art community. He founded d Kunst art center and launched Art Normal, Ratchaburi’s first public art event, promoting art accessibility and community engagement. His contributions have earned him prestigious awards, including the Wattanakunathorn Award and the Silpathorn Award for Design.

Wasinburee’s commitment to accessible, sustainable art continues to inspire Thailand’s art scene, positioning Ratchaburi as a vital cultural hub.

Nick Mauss develops a multidisciplinary practice at the interstices in between established histories of the arts. In his works, he uses drawing to navigate between medium and spaces, overcoming categorizations, where the line expands different formats such as reverse glass painting, ceramic, textile, paper, sculpture, performance, and writing.
His work probes into contemporary art productions, through exhibitions that he conceives, using the medium as integral part of his practice. Nick Mauss sheds light on forgotten historical archives connecting different histories and artistic genres. Thus, he offers a new genealogy to the works and reassesses the artist’s positioning and modes of representation.

Natalie Sasi Organ examines fragmented historiographies, creating artificial yet familiar scenes of composite memories and territories. Investigating the liminalities of her own biracial experience, Sasi Organ confronts the personal and cultural tensions of migration, displacement, and assimilation. Her practice, defined by continuous dualities and dichotomies, mirrors the binary thinking of cultural hybridity, also tracing the artist’s personal search for living in the in-between. Drawing from settings close to her heritage, Sasi Organ builds a composite archive of visual evidence, often crossing generations and geographies. She transforms mundane objects and domestic scenes into testimonies of transitory belonging, fostering unforeseen interactions with intimate subject matter. Forming a practice of recollection and recontextualisation, Sasi Organ highlights the ephemeral and overlooked, challenging the subjective ambiguities of identity and memory.

Cho Youngnam is a celebrated singer, television personality, and contemporary artist who has built a distinctive visual language that bridges popular culture and fine art. By reinterpreting the traditional Korean card game hwatu through the lens of pop art, he transforms a simple pastime into a cultural symbol and collective memory that transcends generations. His works dissolve the boundaries between tradition and modernity, mass culture and high art, humor and satire—expanding the aesthetic possibilities of contemporary art.

River City Bangkok, in collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico in Thailand, presents “Unportraited”, a solo exhibition by the renowned Mexican artist Diego Rodarte. Known for his experimental and boundary-pushing painting practice, Rodarte brings to Bangkok a provocative new body of work that reimagines portraiture for the contemporary gaze.

Lucio Fontana was an Argentine-Italian artist known as the founder of Spatialism. The movement focused on the spatial qualities of sculpture and paintings with the goal of breaking through the two-dimensionality of the traditional picture plane. He was best known for his monochrome canvases known as Concetti Spaziale that he would cut or puncture, leaving distinctive gaping slash marks and holes that imbued the finished work with an almost violent energy. In his seminal writing, White Manifesto (1946), the artist traced ideas for creating a new medium that blended architecture, painting, and sculpture.

﻿I begin my work by examining the surface of worn coins, an act that calls forth forgotten civilizations rather than mere observation. Using optical and electron microscopes, 
I extend microscopic surfaces beyond the limits of the naked eye and translate them into visual language, juxtaposing additional images onto the metal.
The microscopes are not merely tools of magnification but devices that transform perception. I no longer see coins as currency, but as material records where power, belief, and identity are compressed, their cracks and textures revealing layers of time and history. I overlay these surfaces with newspaper articles, film scenes, and symbolic objects, allowing images from different eras to collide and intersect within a single frame.
For me, magnification is both a physical expansion and a metaphorical leap toward deeper perception, where scientific visuality and imagination coexist.
Ultimately, this work uses technology to reveal the unseen and question what is recorded or erased, turning the coin into a canvas for lost voices.

Kwon, Soon-young (b. 1975) majored in Oriental Painting in Dankook University (B.F.A) and Hongik University (M.F.A). She held a number of solo exhibitions including The Land of Ghosts (The SoSo, 2023), A Journey of tears (Gallery SoSo, 2017), the milk of sorrow (Gallery FACTORY, 2014), Flashback (Kwanhoon gallery, 2007), and participated in group exhibitions such as The SoSo special (The SoSo, 2022), CHILDREN CROSSING THE NIGHT (Seoul National University Museum of Art, 2022), The Adventures of Korean Painting: I Will Go Away All by Myself (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Cheongju, 2019), STILL ACTS (Art Sonje Center, 2016), Journey to a fluid Island (Kumho Museum of Art, 2016). Selected for the grant program of Korea Arts Management Service Center, Kwon has been a special artist representing Gallery SoSo since 2022.  
Kwon, Soon-young has been creating her own world of cruel fairy tales with characters representing young beings in agony. (···) Kwon’s work is not about the fantasy itself, which evaporates in an instant, but instead focuses on innocent characters who console the harsh reality, those who await it even though it will only end in vain. Their naïve wishes, endlessly delayed and never coming true in reality, evolve into more powerful fantasies in the artist’s imagination, and with it, the pain in real life gets worse with their ever-growing anticipation. Because the fantasy created by Kwon is inseparable from reality, the more beautiful and gloomy it is, the more pitiful it gets. – excerpted from Eunju Lee, “Fantasy of sympathy and console”

Sasha Yazov (b. 2000, Kaliningrad) is the young artist whose primary interest is in the gaming world. His point of reference is popular video games from the early 2000s. He uses gamepJay as an opportunity to make a screenshot of a uniquely created situation inside the game, and this becomes a painting. Using airbrush and stencils in the process, Yazov achieves a maximum likeness to the digital aesthetics, taking us back to a period of time when computer game culture was at its prime, and the internet still seemed a platform of freedom and unprecedented opportunity for everyone.

I work primarily with oil paint, applying it with intention but disrupting it before it sets. While the paint is still wet, I smear it with a towel—blurring, lifting, softening. In these gestures, I relinquish control and make space for chance. Sometimes the towel removes an image I thought I needed. Other times, it leaves behind a trace more evocative than anything I could have deliberately created. The smearing becomes a collaboration between my hand, the material, and the moment.
