     Kim, Kyeong Real

  • Since holding his first solo exhibition in 1989, artist Kim, Kyeong Real has been known as a painter of "underwater scenes". In particular, he has an extraordinary love and affection for nature, and pure thinking, and combines traditional realism techniques with modern techniques. He is a professional painter with outstanding skills and a sense of formativeness. By writing Real Kim on the canvas, he represents realism and also displays his own name. He said that all painters must go beyond the everyday question of what do you paint? and ask what and how Are you drawing?" He argues that the artist must have a firm own perspective on the task at hand, and to do so, he says that one must first listen to one's own inner voice and be able to hear it. 

    His method of expression uses metaphorical and suggestive techniques so that the viewer can read the meaning of the painting through his or her mind and consciousness. He is an artist who faces reality in his portraits but is also excellent at conveying internal messages about morality as well as social concerns. Recently, artist Kim enjoys painting bare trees in winter, or "the winter of trees is the hope for spring. As a 'portraitist, he depicts the inner appearance and form of the natural world with a modern sense through dialogue with nature. He is good at portraits and is especially fond of the powerful realist paintings of the Russian master Ilya Repin (1844-1930). To date, he has gained international fame by holding exhibitions not only in Korea but also in Paris, France, Russia, New York and Japan in the United States.

  Ji Seok-cheol

Ji Seok-cheol, who majored in painting at Hongik University College of Fine Arts' undergraduate and graduate school, held 24 solo exhibitions in Seoul, Tokyo, Busan and Masan. He has been invited to major art events such as the Spanish Arco Art Fair, Chicago Art Fair, Shanghai Art Fair, Sydney Art Fair, Sungkok Museum of Art, Whanki Art Museum, Seoul Museum of Art, Paris Biennale, five-region touring exhibition in Japan, Canyu International Painting Festival, and Seoul Arts Center. It has been done.

The artist's work applies hyper-realistic techniques to seek a return to form, while also incorporating some of the modernist sensibilities of established artists. In addition, by developing characteristics that differentiate it from existing realist paintings, it diversifies the abstract composition of art in the 1970s and serves as a bridge to the post-modern figurative art of the 1980s. Initially, through the series of the devastation of nature and the <reaction> of civilization, the lonely inner scenes of the <absence> series in which someone is not leaving, whether it is time, memory, or recollection, are symbolically shown through the metaphor of a chair. In other words, the joys and sorrows of humans. It shows works in which the excellence of a long lingering feeling is naturally felt in the place where one stayed. This kind of hyper-realism began in the United States in the mid-1960s and developed into a smooth and cold picture through detailed depiction of objects while suppressing subjective intervention in the 1970s. This is a bird that has attracted great attention since then. Hyperrealism artists transcribe reality as it is by painting urban objects or landscape images, such as street scenes, cars, store signs, and motorcycles, on canvas with precise, photo-like drawings.

  Kim Bong-gi

Artist Kim Bong-gi (1923~) is from Namhae, Gyeongsangnam-do. He graduated from Jinju Master School and worked as an art teacher at Busan Normal School and Busan National University Middle School from 1949 to early 1960. He received the Presidential Award at the 1964 Korea Art Exhibition (National Exhibition). After receiving the award, he went to France with government funds to study painting. After completing this, he was selected as a university professor and transferred to the university. He currently immigrated to Los Angeles, USA and lives there. The artist was self-taught and immersed himself in art, having only received art instruction from the Japanese teacher Nishimura at Jinju Teachers. He enjoyed painting more than eating. He characteristically painted portraits, rural areas, and cityscapes that exude the common people and Korean style of the 1960s. The objects and subjects in the paintings depict our beloved families and social groups working hard to lead their lives despite the difficult economic times at the time, making anyone feel close to them. While working in the Busan art world, he enjoyed layering heavy volumes on canvas and enjoyed realism that was closer to reality and a more academic inclination.

Art painter Kim Bong-gi's class - Teacher Kim Bong-gi is on the upper right.


This work shows a screen composition technique faithful to academicism and is a character-centered landscape depicting a farmer harvesting fruit in an orchard. It shows a composition that focuses attention on the woman in the center holding a basket full of fruit next to her, naturally expressing a warm atmosphere in the afternoon sunlight. The male figure behind the woman and the trees in the background are shaded and dark in tone. This contrasts light and dark with the woman in white clothes bathed in sunlight, drawing attention once again to the woman. The processing of all objects, including people, is based on accurate sketches and vivid colors, revealing the reality of human life.
