Jong-seok Yoon’s Solo Invitational Exhibition
THE DEEP SURFACE
표면의 깊이

Being in the age of 50s is going though quite the most crucial period in life, for it is a turning point when regarding 100 years as the lifespan, but it is also the most glamorous and unsettling time considering the weight and responsibilities of life. Even for artists who have been silently walking the path of their calling, their fifties are a time when the sense of unstable satisfaction and excitement intersect. Therefore, it is a great pleasure to meet the works of an artist in his 50s, full of prudence and deep thoughts. Our expectation is that our show of the invited artist Jong-seok Yoon’s works will provide the viewers and guests with a far more marvelous time than ever hoped for.
