Kwon Jinkyu Atelier
The ‘Kwon Jinkyu Atelier’ was originally built by the eminent sculptor Kwon Jinkyu(1922~1973) for both residence and studio. Historically celebrated as “The father of modern Korean sculpture,” he spent his life-time trying to make a full use of his Western training for the vivid portrayal of Korean subjects, mainly of human figures, in terra-cotta and dry-lacquer. By the bequest of Kwon Kyung-sook, his younger sister, the atlier has been entrusted to the National Trust Cultural Heritage Fund since 2006. After a considerable restoration work it was open to the public in 2008. An annual artist-residency program and a biannual exhibition are currently in operation.
