An exhibition introducing paintings by visually impaired artists will be held at the King Sejong History and Culture Center in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province. The exhibition will showcase 17 works themed around figures and landscapes in memory, and the harmony of different beings.
The King Sejong Historic Site Management Office of the Palaces and Royal Tombs Office under the Korea Heritage Service announced that it will hold "A World Met Through Fingertips" at the King Sejong History and Culture Center from the 20th of this month to November 22. This exhibition was jointly prepared by Gonggam Deohagi, the King Sejong Historic Site Management Office, and Yeoju.
The exhibition consists of three themes: 'Memory', 'Landscape and Traces', and 'Harmony and One Heart'.
In 'Memory', the work 〈Golden Sand〉, which uses actual sand to express the sandy beaches of the Namhan River in Yeoju in the past, and 〈Longed-for Faces〉, consisting of portraits drawn by nine artists, are introduced. The landscapes and figures that the artists experienced and remembered through touch are contained in the works.
In 'Landscape and Traces', seven works such as 〈Climbing Autumn〉 and 〈Winter〉, which express seasonal landscapes, will be presented. Visitors can encounter works that utilize various materials and techniques, such as using acrylic paint to print actual leaves onto surfaces drawn with oil pastels.
In 'Harmony and One Heart', the lives of different beings living together are dealt with. Works such as 〈Aori of May〉, 〈Geumsoon's Orchard〉, and 〈Apples in the Twilight〉, which depict apples of various colors and shapes, 〈Harmony〉, which expresses necklaces with various fruits, and 〈One Heart〉, which symbolizes different people being connected with one heart, will be exhibited.
In the center of the exhibition hall, a tactile art experience space where visitors can participate will also be prepared. Participants can experience drawing by filling colors within the shapes of objects using oil pastels while blindfolded, utilizing senses other than sight.
The exhibition runs from October 20 to November 22. Viewing hours are from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and it is closed every Monday. Anyone can view the exhibition for free.
