Yasong Lee Wonjwa, a native of Pacheon, Cheongsong, was a representative Korean painter of South Korea who left many works during his lifetime, with the monumental Korean painting "Cheongnyangdaewundo" (46×6.7m) being especially famous.


He served as the first director when the Cheongsong Yasong Art Museum opened in 2005, and he is known to have made great efforts to promote cultural arts in his hometown Cheongsong and further the development of Korean culture and arts.


In this "Yasong and Sansugyeongseok" exhibition, about 30 selected stone painting works that Yasong completed shortly before his passing will be displayed, aiming to showcase Yasong’s artistic spirit expressed through his landscape paintings that depict the beauty of nature.


The exhibition was planned to allow visitors to feel the artistic spirit of Yasong, who sought to express the beauty of nature by painting "stones," which people usually overlook or consider unimportant, and at the same time, to offer a moment of rest for many who are weary from busy daily life by encouraging them to appreciate the small natural beauties around them.



Governor Yoon Kyung-hee said, "I hope everyone reflects on the artistic spirit of Lee Wonjwa, who cherished every small detail of nature during his lifetime, through this memorial exhibition."
