Chan-Hyo Bae

In September 2005 he started at the Slade School of Fine Art where he was taught by John Hilliard, a world-renowned conceptual artist who uses photography.

His latest series Witch Hunting Project (2013-2016) involves larger shots, often in landscape format, but in which only one main character appears along with scenes of miraculous events.

Since moving into London for further studying from South Korea, He has expressed in his work the feelings of cultural and emotional estrangement he experienced in the UK.

More recent work in Existing in Costume series has drawn further on the idea of placing oneself into a collective consciousness within the dimensions of nationality.

In his series, Jumping Into, Chan-Hyo Bae places himself at the center of paintings from the collection of the National Gallery in London by celebrated western painters, Titian, Rubens and Jan de Beer.

His historical impersonations enter the realm of the surreal, as the artist sets himself into a newly crafted animal skin patchwork painting.

From the latest work, Chan-Hyo Bae had a question asking whether absolute faith and extreme beliefs are the fundamental causes leading to the hatred and detestation, rejection and oppression, and madness and violence.

Progetti Arte Contemoranea, Florence in Italy, etc... Chan-Hyo Bae's work is found in major museum collections worldwide, including
