Shinhan Bank Shinhan Gallery Hosts Solo Exhibition of Artist Kim Hyun-woo with Developmental Disabilities

Collaboration Exhibition with Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture Jamsil Creative Studio in Dedicated Creative Space for Disabled Artists Since 2018

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] Shinhan Bank announced that from May 30 to June 12, it will hold a solo exhibition titled "Pixel: Infinite Space" by developmentally disabled artist Kim Hyun-woo at Shinhan Gallery located in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul, aimed at supporting the creative work of artists with disabilities.

The Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture and Shinhan Bank signed a cultural arts support agreement in 2018 and have held exhibitions annually featuring resident artists from Jamsil Creative Studio. Despite the downturn in the cultural arts sector due to COVID-19, the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture’s Jamsil Creative Studio continues to provide artists with disabilities with ongoing creative spaces and capacity-building programs, and Shinhan Gallery is also continuing its collaboration to support promising artists with disabilities.

Artist Kim Hyun-woo, participating in the exhibition, expresses the infinite possibilities of a space that transcends the boundaries between reality and unreality by shaping everything he experiences and imagines into pixels, conveyed through various works such as paintings and installations.

A representative from Shinhan Gallery stated, “In June, we have the opportunity to select works by artists with disabilities who participated in Shinhan Gallery exhibitions and introduce them at the 1st Shinhan Card Art Fair, ‘The Preview Hannam.’ Through this event, we hope visitors will appreciate the various works that vividly depict the artists’ unique artistic worlds with outstanding sensibility, regardless of disability.”
