Gallery Korea, with a professional judge panel consisting of those actively working in the New York art field, selected seven artists to feature in the show: Jinkyu Ahn, Namsuk Cha, Ikk Hoon Eom, Kyoungae Jang, Hwayong Jung, Tae Yeun Kim and Sung Lee.

Light Mapping is a dynamic interdisciplinary exhibition exploring contemporary artists’ works emphasizing the narrative of light and shadow, and transitions from brightness to darkness through art made with diverse mediums such as Korean ink and paper, fiber-reinforced plastic, stainless steel, and digital photography.

Light is considered such an essential component in all art; this exhibition demonstrates how the artists experiment creatively with light and playfully depict the interplay of light and art.

In his printed artworks, Jinkyu Ahn collaborates uncontrollable conditions as temperature, humidity, altitude, and controllable conditions such as physical elements and emotions.
Namsuk Cha is a photographer who focuses on dark and dim places rather than bright ones. The artist studies on the unique beauty of secluded spots, sequestered cracks, and shadowy corners of buildings when the light, at one moment, goes down to these dark places.
