Ha Sung-Heub has always felt a great sense of debts towards the victims of Gwangju Democracy Movement, just like the most people in Gwangju. The 19-year-old boy at the time did not want to die then because he wanted to become a painter so fled home promising himself to depict the tragic scenery in his painting in attempt to rationalize his living. He now became a mature middle-class painter and is to keep his promise. In the 12-piece masterpiece <Lightening Rod of History: Yoon Sang-Won>, Yoon Sang-Won’s flame-like life is depicted.

Kim Kwang-Rye, the Artist of the Year selected by the National Sculptor Association, has documented and testified the historical situations that we must not forget, just like the <Rest in Peace> exhibition that crosses the Gwangju Democratization Movement martyrs and victims of the killing field. The bust sculpture of the Yoon Sang-Won by Kim Kwang-Rye is presented in the exhibition hall #1.
