Kyoto Meetings

Johyun Gallery, which celebrates its 36th anniversary this year opened in 1989, took the initiative to revive Busan art by identifying local artists and organizing a number of experimental exhibitions. At the time of its opening, the gallery hosted a number of exhibitions by prominent Dansaekhwa artists from Korea's modern art movement, including Changsup Chung, Seo-bo Park, Ufan Lee, Hyongkeun Yun, and Gui-line Kim. These served as a crucial stepping stone for the gallery's identity since it provided a clear understanding of the Korean contemporary art movement and a superb perspective on Korean abstract painting. The recent exhibitions by the Johyun Gallery, which featured works by Chonghak Kim, Leebae, Daesup Kwon, Jongsuk Yoon, Jin Meyerson, Bosco Sodi, Bernard Frize, Claude Viallat, Georges Rousse and Aya Takano have received positive reviews. Johyun Gallery is also contributing to the introduction of contemporary art to the globe by consistently identifying and presenting young artists who are grabbing attention for their distinctive art world, like Kanghoon Kang, Jisan Ahn, Soyeun Lee, and Jongsung Jo while actively taking part in domestic and international art fairs.
