Gokseong Gallery 107 Hosts Son Yang-ok's Solo Illustration Exhibition

From Heart to Heart in Solo Exhibition, Showcasing Over 40 Hanji Artworks

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cha Jongseon] From the 24th of this month to March 8th, a solo illustration exhibition by Son Yangok will be held at Gallery 107 and four street galleries in Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do.

This exhibition is Son Yangok's fourth solo exhibition, showcasing over 40 illustrations and hanji paper works expressing human psyche on canvas.

Son Yangok previously captured precious memories of raising her son over seven years in her art book From Heart to Heart through paintings and essays.

The original artworks from this book will be exhibited in this show.

Son explained the significance of her work: “As my child grew up, I wondered if at some point we had closed our hearts to each other. So, I returned to the time when I was a young bride who had just given birth and was raising a child, expressing those precious memories through my art. Now, as my son has become a young adult, this process is like a time travel of reflection and forgiveness together.”

Son Yangok graduated from the Department of Industrial Design at Honam University and the Graduate School of Cultural Arts Education Planning at Gwangju National University of Education. She has been actively creating works and has received special awards in crafts at the Gwangju Metropolitan City Art Exhibition and honorable mentions in hanji crafts at the Korea Art Exhibition.

Gallery 107 is located on Jungang-ro, Gokseong-eup, Gokseong-gun. The street galleries are booth-type galleries installed on the streets and can be found in the downtown area of Gokseong-eup in front of Gokseong Office of Education, Nonghyup, Police Station, and the 6070 Youth Workshop.
