An exhibition showcasing the early works of Ha Chong-hyun, a pioneering figure of Korean modern art and a master of 'Dansaekhwa' (a Korean monochrome art movement), is being held at the Art Sonje Center. The exhibition covers Ha's work from 1959 to 1975, illustrating how his techniques evolved alongside South Korea's social and economic changes. The exhibition is divided into four parts, featuring Ha's experiments with materials and forms that reflect post-war turmoil and the rapid growth of the industrial era. His attempts to create three-dimensionality on canvases through the 'Conjunction' series, employing unique techniques like the back pressure method, are highlighted. The exhibition aims to reveal Ha's experimental spirit and the historical context embedded in his early works. It runs until April 20th.
