Actor and Painter Park Shin-yang Steps Forward as Docent

Lecture on Expressionism and Abstractionism at Megabox
Discussion on Contemporary Art Perspectives with Audience

Actor Park Shin-yang, who is also active as a painter, will appear as a docent. Megabox announced on the 21st that he will give a lecture together with art historian Ahn Hyun-bae at 'Cine Docent Season 1,' held at the Seongsu branch on the 6th of next month.

Cine Docent is a program where participants appreciate world-famous art museums, artworks, and art history while listening to expert commentary. Park will talk about "The heyday of Expressionism and the beginning of Abstract Art." After the lecture, he will discuss with the audience a new perspective on 20th-century modern art under the theme "Does art really have to be beautiful?"

Park was a representative actor of Chungmuro. Driven by a passion for art, he studied art and philosophy and switched careers to become a painter. He has exhibited works in the Korea-China exchange exhibition "Peace Island Jeju, Becoming an Island of Art (2017)," "Seoul Art Show (2021)," and "Start Art Fair (2022)," and recently held his first solo exhibition "Park Shin-yang: The Fourth Wall" at the Pyeongtaek mM Art Center.

Another challenge was realized through the proposal of Ahn, who has been leading Cine Docent. Ahn said, "It is an in-depth lecture composed of profound reflection and discussion," adding, "I expect that by adding depth to the content, we will be able to promote art to the public."

Tickets will go on sale at 1 p.m. on the 23rd. For more details, please refer to the Megabox website or mobile application.
