Modern Acculturation Exhibition of Korean Painting

The Hangaram Art Museum at the Seoul Arts Center is hosting an exhibition entitled `Modern Acculturation Exhibition of Korean Painting` from October 6th to 11th, which will display oriental paintings from over two hundred Korean artists.

The past ten years have seen a miniature Renaissance of oriental painting in Korea, not only from local artists but also many from abroad. However, oriental paintings are still seen to be failing to tackle mainstream tastes, which remain more accustomed to western style paintings. As such, the main aim of this exhibition is to introduce oriental paintings from a new generation of artists, who make use of age-old themes and techniques but imbue their work with a modern touch.

The Seoul Arts Center is within walking distance of two subway stations - Nambu Bus Terminal on line 3, and Bangbae on line 2.
