Traditional Sensibilities and Contemporary Painting
Articles Artist Cha Hyeonwook: Reconstructing Memory Through the Transformation of Korean Traditional Painting
Cha Hyeonwook (b. 1987) paints fantastical landscapes where the past, present, and future, as well as fact and fiction, intertwine—drawing from fragments of memory collected through personal experience.

Articles Artist Grim Park: Queer Narratives Through Traditional Buddhist Painting
Grim Park (b. 1987) explores a range of contemporary narratives—including queer perspectives—through the traditional techniques of Buddhist art. His practice involves constructing new contemporary narratives by merging, deconstructing, and recombining Buddhist iconography with personal and social stories.
Articles Artist Park Wunggyu Explores the Painterly Possibilities of Traditional Buddhist Painting
Park Wunggyu (b. 1987) has consistently presented works that explore the painterly possibilities of traditional Buddhist painting by creating a symbolic order of positive and negative through subjects that evoke ambivalent emotions.
