[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Han-hyuk] The Naju City Natural Dyeing Cultural Foundation announced on the 4th that it will hold the '50 Artists Invitational Exhibition' at the Korea Natural Dyeing Museum until the 5th of next month to celebrate the Year of the Tiger in 2022, the Year of the Black Tiger.

This exhibition showcases works by 50 artists centered on the theme of the 'Tiger.'

At the exhibition hall, various works from fields such as dancheong painting, woodworking, calligraphy, watercolor, embroidery, felt, natural dyeing, and Korean painting are displayed.

Among them, artist Yoon Seong-yoon's work 'Beom Naeryeo Onda' (The Tiger Comes Down) (title and photo) expresses a tiger using needle felting with wool.

Artist Kwak Soo-kyung's 'Anbu Insa' (Greetings) is a textile art piece that modernly interprets a folk painting where magpies deliver joyful news and tigers ward off bad energy.

Park Jeong-ja, a native of Naju and honorary holder of National Intangible Cultural Property No. 48 Dancheong Master, presented 'Bihu' (飛虎, Flying Tiger), a tiger running swiftly as if it could catch fire, and painter Jang Bok-su exhibited 'Eungsi' (鷹視, a sharp gaze like a hawk).

Kim Wang-sik, director of the Korea Natural Dyeing Museum, said, "Through this invitational exhibition, we hope that the vigorous energy of the Year of the Black Tiger in 2022 will help fulfill new year wishes and overcome the COVID-19 crisis."
