Pontone Gallery is delighted to present this group exhibition of six acclaimed South Korean artists at the gallery’s downtown Augusta, GA location. With artworks ranging from ostensibly traditional oil and ink paintings to light box sculptures, solar LCD units and digital work on television screens, this is an exhibition that celebrates and explores the conjunction of time-honored Eastern artistic ideals with contemporary methods of execution and representation.

After another outstanding year at Art Miami 2018, Pontone Gallery is delighted to present a further opportunity to enjoy works by our artists who achieved such great success there.
In January we will present a Miami to London collection in the gallery and online, including works by Emil Alzamora, Hwang Seontae, Mari Kim, Lee Leenam, Malcolm Liepke, Matteo Massagrande and Jeff Robb.

Pontone Gallery is proud to welcome back Korean artist, Hwang Seontae, with an exhibition of his most recent light boxes. Beautifully constructed from tempered, sandblasted glass and aluminium, they are printed with precisely rendered images of contemporary, domestic interiors. These scenes are articulated and brought to life by LED lighting, which evokes sunlight playing across the spaces. They are as carefully lit as stage sets.

Hwang Seontae was born in South Korea in 1972. He studied fine art at Kyunghee University in South Korea and went on to train in Sculpture at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle in Germany, where he completed his postgraduate study, specialising in Glass Art. He has exhibited in South Korea, the USA and Europe, showing numerous times in the UK, where he is exclusively represented by The Pontone Gallery.
