Shin Bongchull, an Alumnus of School of Visual Arts, Participates in the Exhibition Prism Fantasy

Shin Bongchull, who specialized in glass arts as a fine arts major graduate of School of Visual Arts, participated in Paradise City Art Space’s first project, Prism Fantasy: New Ways to View Light. 

This exhibition which is held from April 19^th to August 18^th, 2019 is composed of the theme based on four major characteristics of light – “reflection,” “infinity,” “spectrum,” and “fantasy” – and introduces diverse works using a variety of light ranging from natural to artificial lights.

Among them, Shin presented two pieces of works on the theme of “spectrum.” Shin magnified and re-constructed Summer Flowers by Emil Nolde, the German expressionist painter to program it into shadow the moves of sun rays. He also presents a work titled Streifen which is an abstract form of colors and shapes of the flower Lady’s eardrops. Shin Bongchull studied glass arts as a fine arts major under Professor Park Seongwon in School of Visual Arts and graduated in 2011. Since then, he has been working in Germany where he draws attention as a new talented artist for his works in which he tries to express glass in various techniques based on his own definition of glass as “ambiguity.”
