PKM Gallery proudly presents selected artworks by representatives of Korean modern and contemporary art and international renowned artists. For Korean artists, works by Yoo Youngkuk, who is the first-generation modernist in Korea and a pioneer of abstract art, paintings by Yun Hyong-keun whose works are the focal point of Dansaekhwa movement, and paintings by Suh Seung-Won, who played a pivotal role in Korean art history as one of the founding members of Korea's first geometric abstract group, 'Origin,' and the avant-garde movement, A.G., in the 1960s, will be displayed at Art Basel Hong Kong 2024.
Among these masters representing Korean Art of the late 20th century, the booth also sheds light on the mid-career Korean artists like Koo Jeong A, who expresses her distinctive artistic practice of examining the fragile and ephemeral nature of objects and everyday lives to highlight their poetic mundaneness, Young Do Jeong whose paintings are metaphorical and descriptive, exploring human being's innermost feelings of loss, pain, and misunderstanding through psychoanalytic interpretation, Wonwoo Lee, an artist reinterprets fragments from everyday lives through his unique sense of humour and wit, thus interrupting everyday routine and revitalising mundane subject matters, and Bek Hyunjin, who visualises the attitude towards contemporary life through expressing improvisations where meaning is unbounded in the form of jazzy paintings
For international artists, the gallery will present Toby Ziegler who transcends the boundaries and differences between creation and destruction, representational and abstract, traditional and modern, original and appropriation reveals his distinctive artistic identity, Olafur Eliasson who has taken an active part in the international stage with quasi-scientific artworks which are inspired from nature.
