Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) announced that it will hold the youth artist open call exhibition "Reproduction of the Moment" at Hosu, a cultural experimental space located at Seokchon Lake, until January 5th next year to celebrate the year-end and New Year holidays.

The district launched the "2024 Youth Artist Exhibition Open Call" last August with the aim of expanding opportunities for emerging artists to engage in local activities and providing local residents with broader cultural enjoyment opportunities. Ten youth artist teams from various fields such as Western painting, illustration, and crafts were selected.

This "Reproduction of the Moment" exhibition is the third exhibition of the youth artist open call and showcases 16 works by two artists specializing in Korean painting: ▲Do Hyun-ji and ▲Lee Min-hye. Both artists express moments captured through their unique new perspectives in their works.

Artist Do Hyun-ji vividly captures on canvas the consistent image of the sea illuminated by sunlight during travels, reflecting her awakened self-awareness. Meanwhile, artist Lee Min-hye, who expresses concerns about animal rights through her works, reproduces the beauty she felt while looking at a large aquarium tank and her compassion for the fish trapped inside.

In addition, an exhibition-linked program is operated where visitors can communicate with the artists and create their own artworks. First, "Drawing with Artist Lee Min-hye," who is interested in nature and the environment, offers a unique experience of drawing with white pigment made from seashells. The program "Making My Own Sea with Artist Do Hyun-ji" uses the pouring technique, where paint is poured to complete the artwork, generating much anticipation.

The exhibition is open for viewing without prior reservation until January 5th. Operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday, closed on Mondays and public holidays. The exhibition-linked programs can be applied for in advance through the Seoul Public Service Reservation system.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, "The youth artist open call exhibition contains fresh and novel perspectives, allowing us to glimpse the beauty of visual arts. In particular, I hope everyone enjoys a rich and warm year-end and New Year holiday through the 'Reproduction of the Moment' exhibition."
