Korean Contemporary: Fusion unveils new Asian developments in the field of international contemporary art. The Korean based works display a diversity of themes and materials. which showcase similarities and connections between Asian and Western art. This is done through various techniques such as installations, videos, photographs, collages and paintings which will be held in Galerie Ron Mandos. The South Korean based artists thus create a surprising mix of an international visual language, with which they are having transcended their cultural background and are taking part in the global contemporary art conversation.
Jiyen Lee (Seoul, 1979) explores time and space that have no beginning or end in her photographic work, Ji Eun Kim (Seoul, 1977) states that the basic structures central to our living environment are key elements to her work, Jung Lee (Seoul, 1972) attempts to capture the effect of language in an image, and Wonkun Jun (Seoul, 1970) bases his paintings on the effect of color. With their own concepts and balanced way of working, the artists have proved to deliver a surprising contribution to the global art scene. They have taken part in global exhibitions in Singapore and Hong Kong (Espace Louis Vuitton), London (Saatchi Gallery), New York (Doosan Gallery) and Dusseldorf (Museum Kunst Palast). Their work will be showcased for the first time in the Netherlands.
