신학철Shin Hakchul is a prominent figure in Korean minjung (people's) art of the 1980s. After studying painting at Hongik University, Shin taught art in a high school. He was a member of A.G. (acronym of "Avant-garde") group in the 1960s, incorporating various attempts of experimental art in his work. His photomontages and collages from the 1970s depict everyday life and embody the fetishism abound in the industrial and mass consumption society. From the 1980s, Shin developed a closer approach to reality, using photomontage and photo-realism techniques. His painting, Rice Planting (1987), was confiscated by the state as anti-state expression under the National Security Law and the artist was imprisoned in Seoul Corrections Headquarters for 3 months in 1989, stirring up a dispute about the freedom of artistic expression and censorship. Shin was the recipient of the 1st Art Journalist's Choice Award (1982), the 1st Minjok Art Prize (1991), and the 16th Kumho Art Prize (1999), and from 2010 to 2013, he served as a chairperson of the board of the Korean People Artist Federation. His solo exhibitions include Shin Hak-Chul (Mus?e de Seoul, Seoul, 1982) and The Great Statue We Have Created (Marronnier Art Center, Seoul, 2003), and he participated in numerous two-person and group exhibitions such as Shin Hak-Chul & Fang Lijun: Monumental Body-Scapes (Hakgojae Gallery, Seoul, 2016), Korean RhapsodyㅡMontage of the History and Memory (Leeum Samsung Museum of Art, Seoul, 2011), and Project 3 Stay of Execution of the 4th Gwangju Biennale (5.18 Liberty Park, Gwangju, 2002). 대표작
