Our Mission
The Byun Shi-ji Foundation was established to preserve and promote the profound artistic legacy of the master who redefined Korean modernism through the unique landscape and spirit of Jeju. Our core mission is to ensure that his lifelong dedication to capturing the essence of the "Windy Island" continues to inspire and educate audiences worldwide.
We serve as a dedicated archive and research center, managing the master's original works, personal records, and philosophical writings. By fostering a deep understanding of his ochre palette and storm-swept lines, we aim to solidify Byun Shi-ji's place as a pivotal figure in the history of 20th-century art.
Through exhibitions, academic research, and cultural programs, the Foundation bridges the gap between the master's timeless vision and the modern era, celebrating a century of resilience, solitude, and eternal light.
