ชีวประวัติ:

Ha Chong-Hyun is a South Korean artist, born in 1935 in Sancheong. He is best known for his Conjunction series, which he began in 1974. Ha's oeuvre is fundamentally characterized by his wide explorations of materiality and ways of challenging the conventions of art making. His early artistic experiments across the two decades following the end of the Korean War moved between abstract painting and installations, demonstrating his engagement with a broad array of materials and pursuing hybridity across artistic categories. His involvement with the art group AG (est. 1969) led him to further explore materiality through non-painterly mediums, spanning sculpture and installations. Ha's works have often been contextualized within exhibitions and writings on Dansaekhwa, but his early experimentalism forms a vital part of 1960s and 1970s art in Korea.
