Korean Art London
Following on from this post on 08/07/2023, I finally made it to the exhibition yesterday and am posting some of the art that caught my eye as I walked round.
Epidermis World: Love 67, Ji Young Hong
Lover Boy, Ha Jin Lee
Boundless Love, J Ryu
Hojakdo by the Fireplace & Every Moments of You - 1 by Na Ri Choi
Human, Human, Human by Jin Hyun Nam
The Korean Five had a separate space as artists selected to showcase the highest level of contemporary South Korean painting. These were Soon Young Yang, Sang Woon Nam, Min Chan Kim, Jun Won Lee and Lee K.
Sang Woon Nam's Blue Moon series includes tiny hard to spot details which add to the intrigue of the paintings.

Finally, Lee K exhibited some of his striking portraits...
...including this one inspired by none other than Park Jimin.
Untitled#J2219, Lee K
I really enjoyed seeing what's going on in the world of South Korean contemporary art. I also found out that everyone who bought tickets for the Korean Art London show can also get free entry to the Yun Hyong-Keun exhibition currently on in Hastings if they go before the 22nd July. Bummed out that I won't be able to take advantage of this offer but I do plan to head to the South Coast sometime before the beginning of October to see this retrospective of RM's favourite artist

that darkness of yours held a safe space
for you to break free
to dance and swirl around
until you felt comfortable to do so in your light
📖: letter to the bold.

the way I'm obsessed with this picture, because:
1) I just feel I've seen this Yun Hyong-keun painting before. With my own eyes. Right in front of me. Which of course I haven't. But I just feel it.
2) this blue... cabinet? I've been looking for something like this for my own place for at least a year. and the ceramics. I have ceramics I've bought and I also want to expose them in my living room.
3) the whole vibe of this picture. having your own place and taking care of it. buying little things to make this empty space more like you. it's beautiful. it's peaceful. i love everything about this picture.

Yun Hyong Keun
Finally made it to the Yun Hyong Keun exhibition at Hastings Contemporary. The paintings are part of the heaven and earth series and were a reaction to his time spent in prison in the early 1970s.
“Since everything on earth ultimately returns to earth, everything is just a matter of time. When I remember this also applies to me and my paintings, it all seems so trifling”
The way the paintings are displayed encourages quiet contemplation. Slightly darkened room, benches placed strategically in front of key works. Nobody there to hurry you through. It provides the time and space for an individual reaction to each piece.
Learning about his life and ideas, I also began to understand a little better the connection RM feels to the artist.
