Published programme

Yang Jun is an emerging artist who graduated in contemporary art from Daegu University and works exclusively with Kidari Gallery. The exhibition title TWO OF US encompasses the coexistence and connection the artist has continuously explored, illuminating moments when 2 different beings encounter and support each other. The girl character 'Hana', who always appears in the works, expresses the idea that humans and nature are connected as a whole. Attentive to interactions with animals since childhood, the artist says coexistence begins with a deep mutual connection. 'Duri', the octopus accompanying Hana, is interpreted as an intelligent, approachable, human-like creature rather than a threatening presence. The pairing of girl and octopus symbolizes how beings with different environments and appearances can communicate and coexist. These works move beyond human–animal and nature–human relationships to convey the meaning of living together, including forming relationships and communicating with people from different backgrounds and with different appearances. Their journeys exploring the deep sea, flying through the sky and travelling together recall the beauty of solidarity in a modern society prone to excluding others without understanding them. Through the process of different beings building relationships, the artist conveys a message of coexistence.
