Join
us for the opening reception of Flowers & Sounds, an exhibit of
works by 18 Korean artists who reimagine the genre of traditional Korean
folk paintings, known as minhwa (민화). The opening event will include a
performance by the Lee Young Gwang Percussion Ensemble, featuring
traditional instruments and the complex, fast-paced rhythms of
Samulnori.
Korean folk paintings have remained a prominent symbol of Korean culture
since the height of their popularity during the late Joseon Dynasty in
the 17th to 19th centuries. Often depicting animals and scenes of nature
in a whimsical style, minhwa thrived as a popular art form for the
common people. Their playfulness and setting alludes to the simple joys
of a traditional Korean lifestyle. In recent decades, popular and
scholarly interest in Korean folk paintings has surged. Today, minhwa
influence contemporary art and have become a key cultural image of Korea
abroad.
Featured artists: Kang Suk Moon, Kwon Kibeom, Kim Keunjoong, Kim Sundoo,
Baek Jinsook, Seo Eunkyeong, Kyunghee Seong, Son Yeon Chil, Woo
