YONG R KWON

  • Through his works, Kwon speaks to the intangible beauty of art that can be imagined through the manipulation of light and empty spaces, thus materialized by the colors and shape of his stainless steel. While the light functions as a base ingredient, it also imbues the spirit of his art through giving voice to the forms that are already produced. Through tireless repetition, Kwon's artwork embraces the natural force of light that cannot be controlled by man to produce formative shapes.

    His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Hoam Art Hall, Samsung Foundation of Culture, Hyundai Arts Center Ulsan, Seoul Museum of Art, Hong Kong Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery, China Art Museum of Beijing Fine Art Academy, and Art Bank.
