{"product_id":"han-man-young","title":"Han Man Young","description":"\u003cp\u003eHan Man Young (b. 1946, Seoul) is a Korean painter celebrated for a body of work built on the appropriation and juxtaposition of pre-existing images — a technique critics have described as generating a \"trans-linear\" space and time. Drawing across the whole of art and material history, he freely combines fragments as disparate as Greco-Roman antiquities, Renaissance masterpieces, the tomb murals and clay figurines of the ancient Korean kingdom of Goguryeo, Buddhist statuary, Joseon-dynasty true-view landscape and genre paintings, folk paintings, and blue-and-white porcelain, setting them alongside modern intrusions like old machine parts or smartphone components. The resulting canvases move freely between East and West, past and present, art and everyday life, creation and copy, figuration and abstraction — unsettling any single, stable sense of reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe graduated from the Department of Painting at Hongik University's College of Fine Arts in 1972 and completed a degree in Art Education at Konkuk University's Graduate School in 1983, and is Professor Emeritus at the College of Fine Arts, Sungshin Women's University. Across more than two dozen solo exhibitions since 1979 and dozens of major group shows — including the São Paulo Biennial (1981) and a survey exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris (1986) — his work has entered the collections of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the Seoul Museum of Art, and numerous other institutions. In 2023–24, Arario Gallery Cheonan mounted Passage between the Real and the Unreal (현실과 비현실을 넘나드는 문), a career-spanning solo exhibition surveying more than fifty years of his practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaux-Arts Gallery Seoul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52929509720375,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/beauxarts.kr\/products\/han-man-young","provider":"Beaux-Arts Gallery Seoul","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
