Dartmouth College to Host Exhibition ‘Park Dae-sung: Ink Reimagined’

From September 24 this year to March 19 next year, the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, will hold the exhibition Park Dae-sung: Ink Reimagined.

The KF-sponsored exhibition is part of Park Dae-sung’s US tour, the first by a hangukhwa (Korean ink-and-wash paintings) artist and his largest solo exhibition. It will feature 23 works divided into four themes: landscapes, birds and animals, tranquil life, and calligraphy. Each work will feature the delicate yet bold world of his ink-and-wash paintings that continue the Korean tradition of ink painting while daringly modernizing the genre.

The exhibition aims to promote Korean painting to the world by introducing Park’s art, which transcends the dichotomy between Korea’s traditional and contemporary art through his unique aestheticism that is characteristic of hangukhwa. The KF will continue supporting his traveling exhibition through next year at art galleries at Stony Brook University in Brookhaven, New York, and the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
