Next, Kim Insun expressed the romance of the city through her series on baby's breath flowers and street lamps, while Park Heeja captured warm moments of daily life in her paintings. Additionally, Lee Eunhee portrayed modern society with the aesthetics of restrained lines, Moon Sookhee delicately depicted the small daily scenes of the city in watercolor, and Choi Youngmo creatively reinterpreted urban landscapes using the basic design elements of dots, lines, and planes.

Won Jinhee, the Administrative Management Officer of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "This exhibition is a meaningful attempt to simultaneously achieve two goals: supporting the creative activities of emerging artists and promoting the development of regional culture and arts," adding, "We plan to continue providing various platforms for the growth of local artists."

Meanwhile, the Gyeonggi Youth Road Gallery is being utilized as an exhibition space for time-based cultural and artistic programs to promote the expansion of activities by Gyeonggi artists and to serve as a communication venue among cultural and artistic stakeholders.
