The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) in Korea announced Yang Jung Wook as the winner of the 'Artist of the Year 2024,' co-hosted with the SBS Cultural Foundation. Yang's work, which starts from scenes captured in daily life, explores the human experience and conveys a sense of solace through moving sculptures and stories. The ongoing exhibition at MMCA Seoul includes pieces like 'In an Unknown Field of Someone I Know' and 'Temporary Illustrated Map,' which tap into themes of intimacy and resilience found in everyday life. The judges praised Yang for the emotional strength and connection in his art. The exhibition featuring works by Yang and other nominees runs until November 23 at MMCA Seoul.
