Kim Ha-yoon, School of Visual Arts, Presents Solo Exhibition as the 4^th Daechi Artist Fellow by KT&G Sangsangmadang

Kim Ha-yoon, a master’s student in the Department of Fine Arts, School of Visual Arts, is holding a solo exhibition at KT&G Daechi Gallery as a recipient of the 4^th Daechi Artist Fellowship (DAF) until July 10. The DAF is a program that supports the next generation of visual artists.

Arranged by KT&G Sangsangmadang, the DAF has promoted the development of various contemporary art genres and revitalized the domestic exhibition culture since 2021.

The 4^th DAF recruited rising artists with less than 10 years of career experience this March, with a selection rate of just 1 in 163.

According to the jury, the balance between artistic and popular appeal of submissions was particularly emphasized during deliberation.

Artist Kim Ha-yoon was praised for expanding the concept of painting by adding artistic imagination to familiar images from everyday life.

Kim’s exhibition, “Ceremony,” is on display for about two months and is free of charge.

Kim Jung-yoon, head of the exhibition department of KT&G’s cultural contribution department, said, “Through the 4^th DAF, we’ve fulfilled our mission to discover an outstanding artist. We will continue to actively support rising artists through our various exhibition projects.”
