Gallery JIB brought together six contemporary Korean artists working in Seoul, presenting painting, ink and mixed-media works shaped by different perspectives on memory, origins, relationships and growth.
The exhibition explored how personal experiences and unseen forces can be expressed through material, gesture and form.
Yang Sunghoon reinterpreted the traditional Korean moon jar through a contemporary perspective. Woo Jongtaek explored gi, the energy connecting nature and human experience. Lim Hyunhee used ink and its fluid qualities to create atmospheric compositions. Kwon Soohyun examined the changing dynamics of human relationships, while Jang Sooji explored the uncertainty and possibilities of youth and growth. Kim Seoul approached the surface of her work as a place to hold and revisit memories.
Presented together in London, the six artists offered visitors an insight into the diversity of contemporary Korean art, bringing distinct approaches and experiences into conversation.
HOME AWAY FROM HOME
Where do we feel at home?
10–17 February 2026
The Glass Tank, Oxford Brookes University, Oxford
Presented by Gallery JIB in collaboration with Oxford Brookes University.
Home is not simply a place of comfort or return. For those living away from where they began, it can be something continually redefined through experience, memory and connection.
Presented at Oxford Brookes University, Home Away From Home brought together six Korean artists currently working in Korea. Encountered in a different cultural and academic setting, their works invited visitors to consider how ideas of origin, memory, presence and reassurance shape our understanding of home.
Rather than offering a single definition, the exhibition created a space for different perspectives to meet, encouraging visitors to reflect on what home means to them.
Artists: Woo Jongtaek, Kim Seoul, Jang Sooji, Lim Hyunhee, Yang Sunghoon and Kwon Soohyun.
