New York, NY.  AHL Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting Korean artists, is proud to announce the “INYoung Solo Exhibition” as part of its Art in the Workplace program. The exhibition will take place at Bank of Hope’s Manhattan branch located at 16 West 32nd Street, New York, NY 10001.

This exhibition revolves around the theme of the roots of the landscapes discovered in the life journey of artist INYoung, who has resided in Korea, Singapore, and the United States. Showcasing works that fuse the cultures and traditions of each region, the artist, through the radiant brilliance of mother-of-pearl and the natural hues of Korean mulberry paper (“hanji”), expresses a conceptual landscape within a modern framework. Using “hanji” and mother-of-pearl as symbolic elements representing the flow of a millennium, the artist explores themes of light and darkness, the ephemeral nature of existence, and the enduring spirit of eternal essence. Through this exhibition, INYoung aims to engage viewers in a conversation about the timeless essence of life, transcending the limitations of our finite human presence. In-young, a graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Asian Painting from Hong-Ik University and a Master’s degree from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, draws inspiration from 18 years of residency in Singapore and experiences in the United States. Currently participating in The Belskie Museum of Arts and Science’s Martin Hicks Gallery exhibition, the artist focuses on the interconnectedness of nature and art. The objective is to harmonize with the natural world, emphasizing the beauty and rhythms inherent in the environment.

 

This exhibition is part of AHL Foundation’s Art in the Workplace program, which aims to make Korean contemporary art accessible to all within the commercial spaces of daily life. Thanks to the partnership between AHL Foundation and Bank of Hope, visitors can enjoy the exhibition at Bank of Hope’s Manhattan branch until June 28, 2024 during operating hours (9:00 AM – 4:00 PM).
