Kwon Kyunghwan

Born 1976 in Seoul, Korea

 

Kwon Kyung Hwan recently completed his M.F.A. from the Korea National University of the Arts. His work covers a variety of media including painting, drawings, video work and sculpture installation. His use of popular images of war and cartoons are a unique and unforgettable mix of mass culture and destruction that serve to counterbalance each other.

 

It is a cunning way to mix two vastly different but familiar images that we have become all too accustomed to in our contemporary world. Kwon also received his B.F.A from the Korean National University of the Arts. He has participated in well received group exhibitions at the Insa Art Space, the Ilmin Museum and Seoul Museum of Art. Most recently, he participated in the young artists group show at the National Museum of Contemporary Art.  He will have his first solo exhibition in late 2009 at ONE AND J. Gallery.
