Interlace II Exhibition & Workshops

Lee Hyun-Joung Born in South Korea and based in Paris, Lee Hyun-Joung holds a license in Fine Arts from Sejong University and is trained in goldsmithing. Her work reflects her childhood memories and utilizes traditional Korean materials, specifically Hanji, ink and pigments. Rather than flattening the paper, she allows random embossed designs to appear, using her brush to create rhythmic patterns that emphasize or impede the natural relief of the material without a structured plan.

Moon Min Soon I work with natural elements such as fire, smoke, earth, wood and hanji (traditional Korean paper) to question their materiality. This leads to an exploration of their interpenetrability and an interest in the fullness of existence and the abyss of absence. It also moves towards the sublimation of ambivalent feelings and duality and the desire for quiet contemplation. Fire and smoke act as a medium for extinction, paradoxically conveying a sense of fulfillment. The randomness of the work process can be seen as an uncontrollable, senseless flow of free imagination and energy. The traces of smoke show that even though it disappears with the question of time, it still exists and continues.

LEE-PARK Eun Young is a visual artist who earned her PhD in Visual Arts from PantheonSorbonne University in 2022. Her work blends therapeutic and liberating improvisational acts with everyday rituals. She frequently employs raw earth—an unconventional material for painting—as her primary medium. Her performances and works have been recognized with awards such as the La nature reprend ses droits prize from the Villa Seurat Foundation.

Park Soo Hwan Starting as a musician before expanding into visual arts, Park Soo Hwan explores the coexistence of music and photography. His work captures the collision between temporality and instantaneity, often using vibrations and blurred images to deconstruct objects into visual abstraction. The metronome serves as a crucial motif in his work, acting as a tool for perceiving time and space in the urban environment. He expresses this exploration through Hanji paper, harmonizing Eastern spirituality with contemporary sensibility

Hong Il-hwa Active in both France and Korea, Hong Il-hwa has held nearly 50 solo exhibitions. His recent work utilizes the metaphor of a tree's life cycle—specifically the concepts of Noon (emergence), Eum (bud) and Ssak (sprout). He depicts the struggle of life emerging from the cold, where the white Eum pushes through the bark to eventually turn blue and take shape as it receives sunlight. He is also a member of the Korean Printmakers Association and has produced murals for Seoul Grand Park Zoo.

KIM Myoung-Nam (Exhibition Commissioner) Kim Myoung-Nam is a Professor of Engraving at the School of Fine Arts of Versailles. Her artistic journey is described as a Diary of the Invisible, revealing the inner language of existence. Living with glaucoma led her to contemplate the boundary between light and shadow, resulting in her White Myobop series which explores the immaterial world. Her art acts as a harmony between black ink and white space, serving as a vessel for memory and identity
