Seop Kim is presently a Professor at Ulsan University in Korea. He received his BFA from Hongik University and got his MFA from Fachhochschule Köln in Germany. He has had 52 solos exhibitions in Europe and Asia and his works convey a satirical portrait of the social conditions, using interesting patterns inspired by nature. My work is composed around a theme and focuses on the correlation between modeling and methodology. Initially, my work told the stories of simple, ordinary people, and currently my range has broadened to include perceptions on culture and religion, and uses semiological techniques to render those sensibilities onto the canvas.
Youngjae Im is a professor at Ulsan University and he has gotten both BFA and MFA from Hongik University in Korea. He has had 32 solo exhibitions and more than 500 group exhibitions globally. Through his work, Im conveys the message of vitality – repetition of tracing and erasing and using the three dimensional technique he conveys the message of sprouting.
Ha Won is the Chair person at the Department of Fine Art and also a professor at the Ulsan University in Korea. After receiving his BFA from Seoul National University, he also got his MFA in both Temple University and Seoul National University. He has held many solo exhibitions since 1994 and his recent works are castings, silk screens and digital images or 3 dimensional figures of subjects such as tree leaves or branches.
Ssungjung Kim received his BFA and MFA at the Ulsan University and is currently a professor at Ulsan University. He has held 6 solo exhibitions in Seoul and has held countless group exhibitions since 2002. Thousands of dots of different colors create shapes and texture of his work.
