Gabe Sheen teaches photography at Hongik University, Seoul, which is one of the most prestigious art schools in South Korea. He also works for an influential art magazine, Arts and Culture (monthly), as a senior editor and columnist. As a photographic artist, he thinks that there are some undeniable essences to human life: ambiguity, difficulty, and mortality. For him, these limitations are all about human consciousness. Sheen believes that he is nothing at all without consciousness; he affirms, appreciates, and depicts it through his works. His primary medium is based on the historic Gum Dichromate Process, supported by modern technologies of color separation and digital negatives, which provide handmade and watercolor beauty.
