Sculptor Kim Seunghwan's Solo Exhibition at Braida Copetti Sculpture Park, Italy

[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] Sculptor Kim Seunghwan's solo exhibition is being held at the Braida Copetti Sculpture Park of the Copetti Museum of Contemporary Art in Italy until the 20th.

The Copetti Museum of Contemporary Art is a modern and contemporary art museum located in Udine, northern Italy. It was established in 1982 by Giorgio Copetti. The Braida Copetti Sculpture Park, affiliated with the museum, covers an area of approximately 15,000㎡ (about 4,530 pyeong).

The exhibition theme is "Organismi en plein air," curated by Martina Corgnati, a professor at the Brera Academy in Milan and an art critic, along with Massimo Copetti, curator of Braida Copetti.

A total of 20 works are exhibited, including two large-scale pieces, showcasing a variety of materials and artistic transformations.

Martina Corgnati explained, "Since 2006, Kim Seunghwan has been working on abstract pieces under the theme of 'organisms' following his figurative sculptures exploring 'the quest for eternity.' While faithfully fulfilling the role of a sculptor, he embraces technology and utilizes contemporary aesthetics and language to create more expressive and humanistic works." She added, "His works, imbued with refined techniques and rich experience with materials, are realistic yet powerful enough to transform the environment in which they are placed. They prompt us to question the world we live in and the unstable present."

Sculptor Kim Seunghwan worked in Pietrasanta, Italy, for five years starting in 1990. After returning to Korea and working domestically, he resumed his activities in Italy with a solo exhibition at the Superstudio My Own Gallery in Milan in November 2019.

Following the Braida Copetti exhibition, Kim Seunghwan plans to participate in art fairs in Italy and across Europe in collaboration with the Copetti Museum of Contemporary Art. Next year, invited by the city of Milan, he will hold a solo exhibition at the Messina Museum from July 7, curated by critic Martina Corgnati. During Milan Design Week, his large-scale works will be exhibited in the main square, organized by Armoni and sponsored by Superstudio.
