Min Joung-Ki2019
REAL DMZ PROJECT
Seoul, South Korea
Goseong (2019) was painted after he visited the GP recently, and it embodies the topography of the DMZ that has changed over time. The “division” feels like part of our nature as it has been with us since we were born into this land, and the artist’s emotions are overlaid with the unaccustomed changes to the DMZ.

- 작가 정보: Min Joung-Ki (b. 1949, Seoul) has established a unique style by responding sensitively to the cultural devices in daily lives and the city of Seoul, expressing these responses in various forms. The artist began dealing with the subject of mountains as the grounding of our history and our lives after moving to Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi-do in 1987. Instead of participating in state-supported national exhibitions, he worked as one of the founders of the collective Reality and Utterance, rejecting the so-called high art tradition and injecting “banality” into contemporary art in an attempt to bridge the crevice between tradition and modernism. Min participated in the group exhibitions December Exhibition and The Third Group Exhibition in the 1970s and Reality and Utterance Exhibition in the 1980s. Since then, he has held solo exhibitions in major domestic institutions beginning at the Seoul Museum of Art in 1983, followed by ARKO Marronier Museum (2004), Chosun Ilbo Museum (2007), and Keumho Museum (2016). He was awarded the 18th Lee Joong Sup Art Award in 2006.
