Jo Gyuhun

Born in Incheon, Korea, in 1982, Jo Gyuhun graduated from Hanseo University with a bachelor's degree in Animation.

Children with Covered Faces is Jo Gyuhun's primary creative motif. It was inspired by a music animation video (it has been lost now) that he stumbled upon during college, with The Flashbulb's "If Trees Can Speak" playing in the background. At the end of the video, a girl with long hair and a white shirt covered her face with her hands and wept. The image of this ethereal and pure beauty left a lasting impression on Jo Gyuhun in a flash and became his Muse. He believes that simple body language can convey multiple intentions. Jo Gyuhun draws from his daily life experiences that trigger his emotions as creating material for his artworks. He hopes everyone can use their imagination and feel the same affection and joy that he felt when he first saw the girl in the video through his vivid creative image and narrative. He has showcased his works in galleries across Seoul, Busan, Gyeonggi-do, Paris, and Shanghai since 2015. His artwork has also been featured at prestigious art fairs in Korea, such as the Busan International Art Fair and Seoul Art Show. In 2022, Jo Gyuhun began to work with Rich Art for his artwork exhibitions in Taiwan.
