Focus group exhibition is PBG's annual project presented during the year-end, spotlighting the artistic visions of emerging talents who are gaining attention in the contemporary art scene. This year's exhibition, Focus 2026: Emotive Waves, explores how the theme of emotion can be contemplated and visualized in a contemporary context through the works of three artists—Lee Husin, Choi Ji One, and Choi Hana.

While all three artists engage with the inner realms of human emotion and sensation, their approaches are distinctly different. Lee Husin reveals psychological tension where anxiety and calm intersect through the gaze and expressions of his figures. Choi Ji One evokes traces of memory and time through a deeply layered painterly language. Choi Hana proposes surreal images that capture the contemporary experience of emotions emerging and dissolving, articulated through incompletion, fractures, boundaries, and voids.

These diverse modes of expression and aesthetic attitudes demonstrate the multifaceted ways in which young artists today grapple with inner emotions. Beyond personal narratives, their works reflect the sensibilities of an era marked by uncertainty and transformation, opening new spaces for interpretation. This exhibition shines a spotlight on the experiments and sensibilities of artists who will shape the future of contemporary art, offering a significant moment to gauge both the present and the future of the Korean art scene.
