Shin Bongchull, an Alumnus of School of
Visual Arts, Participates in the Exhibition Prism
Fantasy
Shin Bongchull, who specialized in glass arts as a fine arts major graduate of School of Visual Arts, participated in Paradise City Art Space’s first project, Prism Fantasy: New Ways to View Light.
This exhibition which is held from April
19th to August 18th, 2019 is composed of the theme based
on four major characteristics of light – “reflection,” “infinity,” “spectrum,”
and “fantasy” – and introduces diverse works using a variety of light ranging
from natural to artificial lights.
Among them, Shin presented two pieces of
works on the theme of “spectrum.” Shin magnified and re-constructed Summer Flowers by Emil Nolde, the German
expressionist painter to program it into shadow the moves of sun rays. He also
presents a work titled Streifen which
is an abstract form of colors and shapes of the flower Lady’s eardrops. Shin
Bongchull studied glass arts as a fine arts major under Professor Park Seongwon
in School of Visual Arts and graduated in 2011. Since then, he has been working
in Germany where he draws attention as a new talented artist for his works in
which he tries to express glass in various techniques based on his own definition
of glass as “ambiguity.”
