Kim Chun-sun's ninth solo exhibition, "Recycling art: Secrets I Want to Hide," will be held at the gallery on the first floor of Wujin Cultural Space in Jeonju from the 16th to the 22nd.

This exhibition succinctly showcases Kim Chun-sun's artistic world, where materials such as paper boxes, Styrofoam, photocopies, newspapers, and other discarded everyday items are revitalized into art. The artist has long used paper as a primary medium for his works, and the majority of the pieces in this exhibition are also composed of recycled materials. In particular, new works utilizing Styrofoam will be introduced.

Kim stated, "Traditional materials like canvas were burdensome, so I started using paper and boxes that are easily accessible in the surroundings," adding, "I want to continue breaking the boundaries of materials through the 'Japdongsani Series' in the future."

His representative series, 'Japdongsani Series,' has broken down the boundaries between art and daily life by breathing new life into discarded items. This endeavor, which began in limited space and conditions, has now become a symbolic working method representing Kim Chun-sun's creative identity.
