[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yeo Jong-gu] The Solgeo Art Museum at Gyeongju Expo Park is holding an exhibition of works by painter Park Dae-sung in Kazakhstan following an exhibition in Germany to promote the status of Korean painting worldwide.

This exhibition was planned by the Korean Cultural Center in Kazakhstan to celebrate the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Kazakhstan and the Year of Mutual Cultural Exchange.

Under the title ‘THE ETERNAL,’ the exhibition, which opened on the 24th of last month at the National Museum of Kazakhstan, will run until August 14,

and features 23 traditional and modern ink landscape paintings along with painter Park Dae-sung’s painting albums.

The characteristic of Park’s exhibited works is the delicate yet bold brushwork and the control of ink tones used to create beautiful Korean ink paintings.

In particular, the panoramic and realistic works that give the feeling of actually viewing natural scenery are expected to attract much attention from both Kazakhstani citizens and Koreans residing there.

Prior to the Kazakhstan exhibition, in April, at the invitation of the Korean Cultural Center in Germany, an exhibition titled ‘眞景 時代: The Eternal (Jingyeong Sidae: The Eternal)’ was held in Berlin to showcase the beauty of Korean ink painting.

Ryu Hee-rim, CEO of Gyeongju Expo Park, said, “I have heard that the works of painter Park Dae-sung, whose works are held at the Solgeo Art Museum, are gaining great popularity overseas,” and added, “We will spare no effort to ensure that the Solgeo Art Museum can serve as a global forefront base for branding Korean painting.”
