Reflecting his experience of accelerated time of urban life in Seoul, Byun explores the contemporary urban landscape with the analytical gaze of an anthropologist. He excavates overlooked, functional materials and recontextualizes them into the realm of art. Byun’s practice reveals his experiments on the conditions that define artistic form—such as weight, volume and space in sculpture, surface and pigment in painting, and process and multiplicity in printmaking. His signature series Live Rust consists of abstract prints that record the red traces of steel sections used in architectural structures, with anti-corrosion paint. The artist utilizes his own body, instead of a traditional press, to create these performative, unconventional monotypes, translating the materials of urban construction into artistic signifiers.


Byun Sanghwan received his B.F.A. in 2012 and M.F.A. in 2018 in fine arts from Seoul National University of Science & Technology. He has held solo exhibitions including Horizon, and the Curtain of Ellipses (2025, SPACE SO), The Hand Is Quicker than the Eye (2022, SPACE SO), and New, Twinkling, Hairtail (2021, SeMA Storage) since his first solo show, Pure, Solid courage (2016, Space Willing N Dealing). He has participated in group exhibitions at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul Museum of Art, Buk-Seoul Museum of Art, Nam-Seoul Museum of Art, Sejong Center and Wumin Art Center. He completed residencies at Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts in Taipei and Seoul Art Space Geumcheon in Seoul.
