Lee Kun-hee Collection Viewed in Gwangyang Closes on the 7th

Jeonnam Provincial Museum of Art 'Precious Time, Great Gift' to Conclude Grand Finale on the 7th

Jeonnam International Sumukh Biennale Special Exhibition 'Sojeon Son Jaehyung' Also Reaches Finale

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Jeonnam Gwangyang City announced on the 5th that with only two days left until the closing of the Lee Kun-hee Collection Special Exhibition "Noble Time, Great Gift" and the Jeonnam International Ink Biennale Special Exhibition "Sojeon Son Jae-hyung," they urge visitors to hurry to the Jeonnam Provincial Museum of Art.

The Lee Kun-hee Collection Special Exhibition, ambitiously hosted by the Jeonnam Provincial Museum of Art, is a meaningful exhibition where all donated works can be seen in one place, receiving high praise from visitors and attracting crowds throughout the exhibition period.

The exhibition offered a quiet emotional impact with works deeply imbued with the spirit of the southern region, including pioneers of Korean abstraction Kim Whanki, the vividly colored paintings of Cheon Kyung-ja who left a significant mark on the Korean art scene, ink wash painter Park Dae-sung, as well as Oh Ji-ho and Kim Eun-ho.

The Jeonnam International Ink Biennale Special Exhibition "Master of Korean Calligraphy: Sojeon Son Jae-hyung" is also approaching its finale on the 7th.

Son Jae-hyung, who coined the term "calligraphy" instead of the Japanese-influenced "Seodo," expanded brush writing into the realm of art and established the unique Sojeon style, leaving a significant footprint in the history of calligraphy. His creative works fill the walls of the exhibition.

In particular, the thrilling story of recovering Chusa Kim Jeong-hui's Sehando, which could have been lost, the inscription on the Chungmugong Byeokpajin Jeoncheop Monument full of personality, and the literati paintings imbued with subtle ink fragrance captivate visitors.

Park Soon-gi, Director of Tourism, said, "As the closing of the high-quality exhibitions such as the Lee Kun-hee Collection Special Exhibition and the Ink Biennale Special Exhibition held at the Jeonnam Provincial Museum of Art in Gwangyang is imminent, we urge everyone to visit the museum without delay."

He added, "We also hope visitors enjoy the Baedo Busking held at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday in the Baedo Island Garden, fully savor the culture and arts, and take home memories of Gwangyang's beautiful autumn."
