Exhibition at Art Chosun Space, Gwanghwamun Cultural Complex / Lee Kyu Hong (Department of Crafts and Fine Arts '91)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lee Gyu Hong, an alumnus of the Department of Crafts and Fine Arts at Hankuk University who has garnered international attention, held an exhibition with artist Myungtack Jung at Art Chosun Space, a complex cultural and art space in Gwanghwamun, until Saturday, March 23rd.

 

 


In the exhibition, the two artists, Lee Gyu Hong, who works with glass that emits light and radiates beautifully, and Jeong Myung Tack, who works with wood, metal, and stone that are rough and deep, showcased more than 20 amazing craft works.

 

 


In the exhibition, Lee Gyu Hong's "Breath of Light," a work that creates a calming energy through the interplay of light-reflecting glass fragments on a laminated glass plate, and a new series of folding screens that he unveiled for the first time, gave the audience a moment of fantastical experience by attaching atypical glass fragments to wooden window frames from old buildings. 

 

 


A graduate of the Edinburgh College of Art, UK, Lee was named a finalist for the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize in 2023, and is currently an adjunct professor of glass sculpture design at KU's Graduate School of Design.
