Introduction of Artist: "Science embodies an artistic realm within the world of Kim Han-ki. Through his artworks, the artist conveys the essence of science, interpreted as a form of art, to the public. In his notable series 'We Still Add U,' Kim narrates the tale of discarded iPhones and iPods. These devices, once deeply cherished but eventually abandoned with the release of newer versions, encapsulate the unchanging affection and longing of humanity.

Kim Han-ki, a scientist and professor specializing in new materials and engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, lacks formal education in the arts. Nevertheless, he freely expresses scientific content and formulas, seamlessly integrating them into the spectrum of materials across the field of science. His artworks cleverly satirize issues stemming from advancing civilization, showcasing both wit and enduring impact. The formulae depicted in his work resemble ancient inscriptions left on murals.

Currently serving as a professor in Sungkyunkwan University's new material engineering department, Kim Han-ki began exhibiting in group showcases since 2020. He has conducted several solo exhibitions with Heesu Gallery and Print Bakery Gallery, maintaining an active presence in 2023 with The Hyundai Seoul.
