The first Art Wall project, running until the 15th, features artist Choi Hyuk from Jeonju. He is a local artist working across various fields of visual arts including painting, graffiti, and design.

His artistic activities have expanded beyond Gwangju and Jeonju to Iksan, Daejeon, Seoul, and even Chiang Mai, Thailand.

The artwork presented in this project conveys love and happiness from unseen places, featuring the English word "Shinsegae" as a focal point along with the artist’s signature character, a tiger.

Through this project, Gwangju Shinsegae aims to widely promote talented local artists while providing customers with opportunities to enjoy diverse cultural and artistic experiences.

Gwangju Shinsegae plans to continue operating the relay Art Wall project every three weeks in collaboration with local artists including Hwang Jung-hwan and Yoon Yeon-woo.
