Press Release

Sun Gallery opens its 2026 program with Recall of the Senses, a six-artist group exhibition featuring Greem Kim, Yumi Chung, Yeonhong Kim, Siwol Park, Eunjeong Choi and Wonhae Hwang. In an age when digital screens fragment our experience, the exhibition asks how art can still awaken the human senses and reanimate feeling. The works are arranged across the gallery’s three floors: the first floor (Greem Kim, Yumi Chung) reads nature as a metaphor for inner life; the second floor (Yeonhong Kim, Siwol Park) traces layers of emotion formed through memory and indirect experience; and the third floor (Eunjeong Choi, Wonhae Hwang) considers the relationship between the city and its inhabitants, and the cycles of decay and regeneration. Together the six painters invite viewers to slow down, engage their imagination, and rediscover their own senses.

About the Gallery

Founded in 1977 by Chang-sil Kim in the historic Insadong district of Seoul, Sun Gallery is one of Korea’s longest-operating commercial galleries. Over nearly five decades it has presented more than 500 curated exhibitions spanning painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, and craft, and it played a pioneering role in introducing international art fairs to Korea in the 1990s. Landmark initiatives include Sun Art Magazine (launched 1979, 52 issues) and the Sun Art Prize (established 1984, 22 laureates to date), and the program has presented international masters such as Marc Chagall, Emile Antoine Bourdelle, and Marino Marini alongside several generations of Korean artists. From a renovated four-floor space in Insadong, the gallery champions a roster ranging from senior Korean masters, including monochrome painting and chaesaekhwa pioneers, to leading mid-career and emerging painters and sculptors, with an active fair presence across Frieze Seoul, Art Basel Hong Kong, Expo Chicago, Art SG, Art Central Hong Kong, the Galleries Art Fair, KIAF, and Abu Dhabi Art.
