Yeonggwang Forest Museum Hosts the 3rd Annual Eoullim Seogakhoe Members Exhibition

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Jeollanam-do Yeonggwang-gun (Governor Kim Junsung) announced on the 27th that it will hold the "3rd Eoullim Seogakhoe Regular Members Exhibition" at the Yeonggwang Forest Museum until the 8th of next month.

This exhibition features craftworks that breathe new life into dead wood, using felled timber from the forest thinning and hazardous tree removal projects conducted by the county. These are transformed into various works such as traditional seogak and pictorial seogak, providing visitors to the Forest Museum with a unique viewing experience.

Seogak refers to the engraving of letters or pictures on materials such as wood, stone, bamboo, ivory, or jade using tools. There are traditional seogak passed down through generations and modern seogak, as well as wooden signboards and seals.

Unlike calligraphy, seogak involves carving over calligraphic works, requiring many processes to complete a single piece. It is a comprehensive art form that combines calligraphy and sculpture to complete one artwork.

Kim Haengbo, president of the Seogakhoe, said, "This exhibition displays about 40 works painstakingly created by 16 artists. We invite you to come with a light heart, enjoy the diverse works, and offer your encouragement and support."
