KOREA FOUNDATION

Master painter Park Daesung is promoting the beauty of Korean paintings to the world. His exhibition The Eternal is running at the Korean Cultural Center in Berlin until May 27 on the first leg of the event’s world tour.

Through the exhibition, Park introduces landscapes in ink, showing traditional Korean paintings in new ways. Highlighting the Korean genre of “true-view” landscape painting, which originated in the 17th century and refers to paintings of scenery that truly existed in Korea, he exhibits 24 works full of inspiration and creative energy indigenous to Korea.

The exhibition will be followed by similar events worldwide at the National Museum of Kazakhstan in June; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in July; Harvard University’s Korea Institute and Dartmouth College’s Hood Museum in September; and the Korean Cultural Center in Rome in October.

Next year, the painter’s works will be on display at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the University of Mary Washington in Virginia. His touring exhibition seeks to present Korean paintings to a wider global audience and help art lovers discover the paintings’ unique beauty.
