Geum Sahong

Born in 1962 in Seoul, South Korea, I have rooted myself in the vicinity of Galmae-dong, near Seoul, where I continue my artistic endeavors. Graduating from Hongik University's College of Fine Arts with a major in Western Painting in 1987, I pursued further studies up to the master's and doctoral levels. However, I eventually chose to withdraw from academia, considering that a doctoral degree held little significance in the realm of art. For over three decades, I have dedicated myself to full-time artistic activities. My journey comprises 38 solo exhibitions, numerous group exhibitions in both domestic and international venues, including Japan, Mexico, and the United States, totaling more than 200 exhibitions. I have also served as a jury member for various art competitions in South Korea, and my works are proudly held in collections across the country, including institutions like the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office and the one's parents' house of BTS member Jin. My artistic journey reflects a constant commitment to pursuing creative expression, bridging the local and international art scenes while maintaining an active presence in both solo and collaborative exhibitions.
