Bac Ho Un

Born in Daegu, Korea, Bac Ho Un graduated from Seoul National University with a BFA in Western painting in 2005 and an MFA in the same major in 2014. The artist collects spoken words that reveal the injustices of society and bundles them into images.

Recently, he held the solo show 《Linguistic Crack》 at CEAAC in Strasbourg, France, in 2015 as part of an International Exchange Program.
