Shon, Kyung Hwa

About: Dr. Kyung Hwa Shon (b. South Korea) is a cross-disciplinary artist, researcher and educator. She is a Tutor (Research) in Graduate Diploma Art & Design at the Royal College of Art.

Shon received her practice-led PhD (Painting) from the Royal College of Art, School of Arts and Humanities in 2019. Prior to this, she undertook an MFA in Painting and Drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USA between 2009 and 2011, after completing her BFA in Painting from Hong-Ik University, Seoul, South Korea. She was a Starr Scholar at Royal Academy of Arts, London (20011-2012). She has exhibited internationally and collaborated with global companies for commissioned art projects.

In 2021 Shon was invited by Meta (previously known as Facebook) to design and create a public facing work in a large urban space, now displayed in the main reception of Meta’s new London King’s Cross Offices. This research-based artwork ‘Excess of Elsewhere’ was inspired by walking in, through and around King’s Cross. She is also currently conducting three other collaborative international research projects — ‘IN // BETWEEN: Kharkiv and London’ funded by the British Council in 2022-23, ‘Lost Architecture: The Remnants of Korean Architecture in Onomichi, Japan’ funded by the Arts Council Korea as well as ‘Re- & De-’ in partnership with the Onomichi City University in Japan and funded by the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.
