HARMONY OF ORGANISMS BY KIM SEUNG HWAN
Artist, sculptor, cultural businessman, and over the last ten years, designer, it is hard to define
Kim Seung Hwan in only one discipline. “Organismi & Harmonie” presents a hybrid collection between sculpture and design, thus defining the new aesthetic direction taken by the artist. The exhibition curated by
Martina Corgnati, highlights artifices and nature, modernism and archaism that reconnect to the geometric and mathematical laws and underlines the impeccable control by Korean sculptor of plastic materials, from bronze to polystyrene up to stone. Kim Seung Hwan begins his career in the nineties at Pietrasanta where he attends the Carrara Accademy, and then continue his journey in Asia. In 2008, together with his wife Lanki Jung, he founded, on the outskirts of Seoul, the large centre for contemporary art
Dio Art Center that hosts and produces exhibitions, installations and film reviews dedicated to Italian and Korean authors. He has over 30 solo exhibitions and over 320 collective exhibitions active today. His sculptures, also monumental ones, are located in public spaces and private collections all over the world. The artist chose MyOwnGallery at Superstudio for his return to Italy and in Europe after almost 30 years, a preview of the forthcoming stop-over during Milan Design Week 2020.
