With the aim to support artists, ¡°One Artist a Year¡± is a form of extension and development in galleryseoul¡¯s ¡°Focus Artist¡± program last year. Under this program, we select each year an acclaimed artist who has displayed works not only in art markets, but also in galleries and art museums around the world every year. We then display the artworks in galleryseoul and present a talk show with the artist. The program introduces noteworthy artists and their works, share their world of works, and thus support them, and expand areas of works displayed in galleryseoul.

For this year¡¯s One Artist a Year, galleryseoul selected Kohei Nawa (born in 1975 in Japan) who has successfully held a solo art exhibit recently at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. He works on sculptures and spaces based on the concept of cell. He uses flexible materials such as prisms, beads, silicon, foam, and oil as metaphors of information society. He achieves this in creating ambiguities about emotions and thoughts that float between high technologies and analogue. His collected objects are created into new life and beauty through his unique optical techniques. Kohei NAWA does not limit his works to pure arts but also explores diverse areas including music, fashion, design, and the public arts.
