Exhibition Highlights a) by Yuki MATSUEDA @ Ocean Terminal Forecourt After graduating with a PhD in design from Tokyo University of the Arts, Japanese artist Yuki Matsueda has gained a reputation for his 3-dimentsional artworks escaping from graphics. He is good at capturing the incredible moments when ordinary objects escape from graphics to create lively 3D works. b) by Christo and Jeanne-Claude @ Gallery by the Harbour Internationally-renowned artist Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude are widely known for their “wrapping art”. Their most famous art creations of wrapping public buildings, bridges and even coastlines, including Miami islands in Florida and Reichstag in Berlin, form familiar but strange landscapes. c) by KIM Byung-jin @ Atrium II, Gateway Arcade Korean artist Kim Byung-jin graduated from Suwon University with a master degree in Sculpture. Creative stainless steel sculptures of hollow letters are one of the most important characteristics of his works. d) by BYUN Kyung-soo @ Atrium I, Gateway Arcade Korean artist Byun Kyung-soo obtained a master's degree in sculpture from Slade School of Art, London and Seoul National University respectively. Feeling that people are alienated and lack of communication due to the internet, he created the series, The Bitter Sweet Life. Several sculptures are made of fiberglass, in similar looks but different colours.
