Lee Hyunho has long depicted dense forests and closely packed trees; in this work, however, he removes the leaves from the surface, leaving the space sparse and exposed. The emptied surface carries a sense of stillness and chill, inviting viewers to rest their gaze quietly between the bare branches.

Rather than simply recording a scene, he repeatedly observes the landscapes within his daily radius and reconstructs their conditions on the surface. Familiar surroundings are reshaped through his selection and arrangement, forming a composed image.

Using traditional Korean painting materials and techniques, he renders his subjects with careful attention. Yet his approach is less about direct representation than about distilling what remains after sustained observation. As a result, the painting resembles a real landscape while existing as a subtly altered scene shaped by time, perception, and his intervention.

Golden Hands Friends (GHF) is an art agency and gallery founded in 2018 by art dealer couple WooSung Lim and Sunyoung Kim, who come from backgrounds in advertising and architecture. 

 As an art agency, GHF curates exhibitions and bridges artists’ intellectual property (IP) with businesses, events, social initiatives, and publishing projects. We also provide collection consulting for individuals and companies, artwork rentals, and art-based archiving services.

 At GHF Gallery in Gye-dong, we support artists through curated exhibitions and aim to foster a culture where art can be appreciated and collected by everyone. 
 Our mission is to make artwork more accessible and to contribute to a vibrant art market.

We believe that through art, everyone can become good friends. 
In the spirit of our name, Golden Hands—meaning “hands that save not only myself, but also those around me”—we hope the work we do lives up to what we stand for.

Lee Hyunho repeatedly observes the landscapes he encounters in his immediate surroundings. His work moves beyond simple documentation, focusing instead on how places and subjects are shaped and reassembled on the canvas. Familiar everyday scenes pass through the artist’s process of selection and arrangement, gradually forming a finished painting.

Using traditional Korean painting materials and techniques, he pays close attention to describing his subjects. However, his paintings are not straightforward reproductions of what he sees. Through sustained observation, he refines and adjusts forms and spatial relationships, creating images that resemble the original landscape while remaining subtly transformed.

Since being selected as an OCI Museum of Art Young Creative artist in 2013, he has continued to explore everyday landscapes through this ongoing practice.

SeoHyun Kim layers, cuts, and reassembles heterogeneous materials—oil paint, wax, resin, and fabric—allowing traces of different times to coexist within a single pictorial surface. Across this surface, undefined beings repeatedly emerge and dissolve, as fragments of memory and record carry on a loose, ongoing conversation.

HyunJung Park moves between the iPad and the canvas, simulating images and completing works through a process of exploring the capacities of tools. His painting advances toward results that cannot be foreseen—a performative process of making the invisible visible within uncertainty.

JuAe Park presents works in this exhibition that take the body itself as material. At the intersection of mural labor and artistic practice, the work documents acts of applying paint directly and rolling across the floor as panoramic images.
