Raw Materials

The exhibition  reinterprets tradition and highlights the essence of what is uniquely ours and natural.

This exhibition features Hwaran, an artist who works with various materials to create traditional Korean paintings, and Studio Nue, which explores works inspired by the forms of nature.

Together, they present a modern interpretation of how our ancestors engaged in artistic practice for self-cultivation and enjoyment. Using traditional materials and objects, such as hanji (Korean traditional paper) paintings showcasing the delicate shades of meok (ink), the munbangsau (Four Treasures of the Study), and natural elements, the exhibition creates a space for viewers to reflect on the raw and timeless beauty of East Asian aesthetics.

Through this exhibition, why not discover the unaltered essence of nature, the true qualities of materials, and the hidden values that often remain unseen? ©metaphor32
