Road Movie: Korean-Japanese Art After 1945

About the Exhibition

This exhibition explores the transformations and intersections of East Asian art through the works of artists active on the Korean peninsula and in Japan since 1945. It is conceived to visually show how Korean and Japanese art interacted within their historical and political contexts, presenting an artistic dialogue that crosses regional boundaries. Featured artists include Kim Whanki from Korea, Ishii Hiroshi from Japan, and Park Soo-keun from Korea, with representative works including Kim Whanki's narrative abstractions, Ishii Hiroshi's paintings capturing the aesthetics of everyday life, and Park Soo-keun's works reflecting the postwar sentiment. The exhibition covers roughly 70 years of art history since 1945, presenting a total of 40 works across three sections. Highlights include Kim Whanki's abstract paintings, Ishii Hiroshi's works on everyday themes, and Park Soo-keun's postwar-era works.
