[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation's Currency Museum announced on the 29th that it will hold a hyperrealism exhibition of pet paintings titled "Companion (伴侶) & Empathy (交感)" by pet portrait artists from the 29th of this month to the 10th of next month at the special exhibition hall in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon.

The exhibition will showcase pet paintings by 11 pet portrait artists from the Daejeon area.

Notably, the works featured in the exhibition are meticulously painted with small, detailed brushes, making them so photo-realistic that they are referred to as "hyperrealism" exhibitions, attracting attention.

The Currency Museum explained that the dogs and cats in the paintings, completed through countless brushstrokes and dedication, will captivate visitors with their vividness, as if they might leap out of the frame.

Lee Kang-won, deputy director of the Minting Corporation, said, "The exhibition will offer visitors a viewing experience where they can feel the lifelike presence of pets, from each strand of fur that seems touchable to eyes that look as if they might blink at any moment."
