Cadenza, the Korean Young Artists Series this year, features works by three prominent Korean artists, SON Donghyun (1980-), WOO Jeongsu (1986-), and KEY Min Jung (1986-).
From SON Donghyun, who deconstructs and reconstructs classical Asian painting, WOO Jeongsu, who weaves narratives about contemporary issues based on medieval European publications and visual images, to KEY Min Jung, who explores the relationship between medium and material through continuous experimentation with traditional ink painting, the oeuvre of these three artists stimulates discourse with various contexts such as East and West, form and content, material and technique.
Cadenza, a classical term referring to a musical passage in a concerto or solo performance, usually denotes a free, unnotated section where the performer showcases their skill and creativity, displaying their unique style. The artistic worlds and working methods of the artists can be compared to a cadenza, where the artists fully demonstrate their skills within the existing media.
The participating artists Mr. WOO Jeongsu and Ms. KEY Min Jung will be present and sharing about the artworks at the opening reception at 6pm
Venue address: 6-7/F, Block B, PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street, Central
