In collaboration with Soluna Fine Art, the exhibition explores contemporary Korean abstraction through the distinct practices of Ha Tae-Im, Jang Seungtaik, Kim Young-Hun, and Park Yoon-Kyung. While each artist engages abstraction through different visual languages, they are united by shared inquiries into color, layering, gesture, and space, revealing how meaning emerges in the subtle intervals between material and immaterial, presence and absence.

The Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong presents "2025 Korean Artists Series: Unfolding Silence," a special exhibition of contemporary Korean art from December 10, 2025, to January 31, 2026. In collaboration with Whitestone Gallery, Gallery Exit, Soluna Fine Art, and Stroll Gallery, the exhibition will feature works by six prominent Korean abstract artists: KWON Soonik, BAE Sangsun, WOO Jong-Taek, JEONG Yun Kyung, KIM Deok Han, and LEE Chae. This exhibition brings together Korean artists represented by Hong Kong galleries, showcasing the depth and diversity of contemporary Korean abstract art. Through their works, visitors will experience a visual expression of "Unfolding Silence", an expression of inner reflection and sensory experience. KWON Soonik employs a unique technique of layering clay and paint, infusing the gaps with graphite to capture narratives of healing and memory—a process shaped by patience and the accumulation of time. BAE Sangsun presents her "Morphing Void" series, which explores the flow of life and thought by layering paint on black velvet, expressing the tension between chaos and creation. WOO Jong-Taek creates meditative works that question the essence of nature and the universe through powerful gestures in ink, charcoal, and white clay. JEONG Yun Kyung combines East Asian ink traditions with Western abstract expressionism to create unique compositions that blend space and structure. KIM Deok Han layers lacquer paint on wood panels and metal to create colors imbued with memory and emotion. LEE Chae explores the continuation of life and enlightenment through symbolic and abstract representations of the natural cycle of blooming and decay.

The Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong and the Seoul Museum of Art present the exhibition KITSCH & POP: Korean Pop Art Now, on view until November 22, 2025. The exhibition offers a timely re-examination of Korean Pop Art, highlighting its significance amid the global spread of K-pop and K-culture. It features new works by young, post-internet artists who have been active since the 2010s—including Sunpil Don, Mirim Chu, Sangho Noh, Raejung Sim, Sungsil Ryu, and Jeongsu Woo. These are presented alongside selected works from the Seoul Museum of Art’s collection by Kyoung Tack Hong, Donghyun Son, MeeNa Park and Shinhye Kim—key representatives of the Korean Pop Art movement from the early to mid-2000s. An opening reception was held last Thursday evening. The curator from the Seoul Museum of Art, Bo Bae Lee, and artist Mirim Chu delivered speeches and led an exhibition tour.

- The Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong presents the second 2025 Open Call Exhibition 《Alice ∙ The Turtle, Rabbits beyond the Door》 from August 7 to September 20, 2025. The exhibition features the contemporary artist collective Burgundy, composed of four Korean artists—LEE Jooyoung, KIM Myongjong, KIM Jeongwoo, and JEONG Woojin—who examine the intertwined concepts of identity and change through the symbolic metaphor of the “door.” The titular figures—“Alice,” “The Turtle,” and “Rabbits beyond the Door”—draw inspiration from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and the Korean folktale Byeoljubu-jeon, invoking transitional characters who cross thresholds into unfamiliar realms. Hong Kong, as a historical and cultural crossroads, becomes a metaphorical door—an entry point into the unknown. The exhibition is inspired by the erratic and enigmatic rabbits of folklore who dive through rabbit holes or traverse oceans, conjuring a sense of dislocation, wonder, and becoming. LEE Jooyoung explores the ambivalent nature of language as a mediator between sensory experience and action. Her works—including the video piece Wading Through (2025) and the carbon paper drawing series murmur (2025)—visualize language’s potential for liberation and its resistance to fixed meaning through repetition and delay. KIM Myongjong dissolves boundaries between media to interrogate contradictions and abnormalities in contemporary society. Theater of Dream Shadows (2025) and The Yubuldo Chanting (Canteen) series (2025), the neon signs inscribed with characters symbolizing the worlds of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, are the works that tries to speak about what comes after the moment when we face that utopia. KIM Jeongwoo investigates the tension between image and materiality in painting. Through 0 (2025) and Fragmented (2025), the artist expands and fragments the components of painting, transforming the exhibition into a space where viewers can physically engage and sensorially immerse themselves in the works. JEONG Woojin’s practice is rooted in a deep contemplation of the relationship between humans and their environment. Her work visualizes the subtle emotional and existential shifts that occur as identity is shaped and reshaped through external conditions, using diverse materials and forms to express this ongoing transformation. The opening reception was held on August 7 from 6 to 8 PM. At 7 PM, a artists tour was given by the artists. The Korean Cultural Center’s annual Open Call project aims to introduce emerging Korean artists and curators to the Hong Kong art scene. Alongside the Korean Young Artists Series, this initiative continues to serve as a key platform for discovering promising talents and supporting their entry into the international art market.
