- Kukje Gallery is pleased to present Ha Chong-Hyun, a solo exhibition of the pioneering Korean modernist, from March 20 to May 11, 2025, at K1 and Hanok. Marking Ha Chong-Hyun’s fourth solo exhibition at the gallery—his first in three years following shows in 2015, 2019, and 2022, this exhibition examines the artist’s continuous experimentation with oil paint and his commitment to exploring the materiality of painting over the past half-century. The foundation for this rigorous commitment is Ha’s ongoing inquiry into the fundamental question: "What is painting?" Through a selection of approximately 30 works created between 2009 and the present, the exhibition includes various iterations of his renowned Conjunction series—from his original monochromatic works to more recent works characterized by colorful adaptations, vibrant gestures, and naturalism.

Beginning in the 1970s, Ha’s Conjunction series evolved to become his most significant body of work, sustaining his disciplined inquiry over the last 50 years. For this ongoing series, he developed his labor-intensive practice called bae-ap-bub (背押法, “back pressure method”), wherein he applied thick paint to the back side of paintings before pressing the pigment through the coarse hemp cloth to the front, imbuing a spatial quality to the flat canvas. As an artist who became active in the post-war period, his choice of hemp cloth (commonly used to store grain), along with flour and barbed wire, reflected the historical context of that time, as these were readily available materials. Moreover, he has worked with self-made tools and experimental methods, highlighting his desire to use every possible strategy to overturn conventional ideas and customary practices around painting....
