NaMu Modern & Contemporary Art Gallery: NAS 2013
From paintings to sculptures to media art installations, seven artists present their take on contemporary life. The seven have been chosen for their distinct styles; for example, Kim Ki-min uses "mini-me" sculptures to criticize man’s simultaneous dependence on and domination of nature. There's also Ryu Sung-hun who explores contradictions and dilemmas in life with his collage-like paintings.
