Jongkundang Holdings announced that it will hold the '13th Jongkundang Gochon Arts Ground Exhibition' from October 1 to 12 at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Jongno, Seoul.
The exhibition will showcase 43 paintings created over three years by Park No-wan, Park Woong-kyu, and Jang Pa, who were selected as artists for the 2024 Jongkundang Gochon Arts Ground. The works explore themes such as daily life, digital imagery, human identity, and the female body through various artistic languages.
Park No-wan reconstructs everyday landscapes and digital image experiences through the processes of painting, rusting, and polishing. Park Woong-kyu presents works that juxtapose insects and religious icons to investigate the absurdities of reality and human identity. Jang Pa is recognized for her pieces that emphasize color and surface texture, featuring transformed forms of the female body on canvas.
The Jongkundang Gochon Arts Ground program was launched in 2012 to support emerging artists. Each year, three new artists are selected to receive an annual creation grant of 10 million won for three years, culminating in an exhibition opportunity in the third year. A total of 45 artists have benefited from the program to date.
The exhibition will also include an online component utilizing virtual reality (VR). Visitors can view the artworks on the Jongkundang Gochon Arts Ground website using mobile devices or PCs, and the online exhibition will continue after the conclusion of the physical exhibition.
A representative from Jongkundang Holdings stated, "This exhibition offers a chance to experience the distinct artistic worlds developed by the three artists over three years. We will continue to support the unique perspectives and challenges of emerging artists, fostering new possibilities in Korean art."
Meanwhile, according to the Financial Supervisory Service's electronic disclosure system, Lee Jang-han, chairman of the Jongkundang Group, plans to gift 1,318,807 shares (9.55% stake) of Jongkundang stock to his three children between September 30 and October 29. If the transfer is completed without issues, his stake in Jongkundang will drop to 0%.
This gift is interpreted as a succession strategy centered around his eldest son. The largest portion of the shares, 528,807 (40.1%), will be allocated to his eldest son, Lee Joo-won, while his eldest daughter, Lee Joo-kyung, and youngest daughter, Lee Joo-ah, will each receive 395,000 shares (approximately 30%).
