At the Korea Brand and Entertainment Expo this week, alongside the group show – Crystallize – curated by Stephanie Seungmin Kim of Iskai Art, is a separate exhibition organised by the Korean Artist Project, who are participating in the Expo. The exhibition features work by Han Ki-Chang.
Han … is characterized by his art that draws from high-tech machinery, following the expo’s mission to nurture Korea’s growing soft power by packaging it with the country’s technological advances.

For the three-day exhibition, Han created a new work, “Röntgen’s Garden – Scenery of Composition,” in continuing homage to the German physicist and Nobel Prize laureate, Wilhem Röntgen, who created the X-ray. He mixes traditional Korean elements with Western methods.
