Gwangju Shinsegae announced on November 14 that it will exhibit works by artist Guseongyeon, the grand prize winner of the 25th Gwangju Shinsegae Art Festival in 2024, at the gallery on the first floor of its main building until November 25.

This exhibition, themed "The Time When Sand Becomes Stone," features new works that use stones and green plastic to reinterpret traditional orchid and landscape paintings.

The "Landscape" series, which consists of close-up shots of stones and rocks arranged to evoke the feeling of vast mountains, and the "Orchid" series, which uses plastic waste-a contributor to environmental issues-to depict orchids, a symbol of purity, both create an intriguing contrast between materials and finished forms, captivating visitors' attention.

Meanwhile, since its opening in 1995, Gwangju Shinsegae has discovered and supported artists from the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions every year through the Gwangju Shinsegae Art Festival.
