HITE Collection presents The Images, an exhibition featuring eight artists, on view from July 7 to September 19. HITE Collection is an exhibition space under the HITE Cultural Foundation, which was established by HITEJINRO, and has been actively exhibiting since its opening in 2010.

The exhibition focuses on areas that cannot be expressed in words but can only be expressed in images. It highlights images that are created by human will. Under the premise that “Images are generated by the artist”, the exhibition explores how eight artists working in painting, photography, and video visualize their thoughts on time, experience, and memory through images.

The exhibition is on the B1 and 2F floors. On the B1 floor, the exhibition opens with a video by Uri Han, followed by Kyoungtae Kim, photographs by Heeseung Chung, and paintings by Seokho Kang, Kyeongbin Jeong, and Min sun. The second-floor features video works by Yongkwan Kim, paintings by Seokho Kang, Suyoung Kim, and as on the first floor, photographs by Heeseung Chung. The exhibition illuminates each artist’s way of dealing with images through these two-dimensional media.    

This exhibition will provide a deeper experience of thinking about the image as a fundamental component of visual art.
