The origin of Jinju Namgang Floating Lantern Festival is said to be a military tactic to prevent the Japanese army from crossing the Jinju Castle in 1592, and the soldiers used floating lanterns to inform their families of their safety. This is both a strategic tactic and a means of communication, and the Jinju Namgang Floating Lantern Festival has developed from this. This can prove to be the best festival in the world. Every autumn, as night falls, thousands of floating lanterns and night landscapes are illuminated in the Namgang River of Jinju. Wishing for peace and happiness for the country and family forever, the floating lanterns used in the Gaecheon Art Festival were further improved in 2000. After the preliminary festival in 2003, the cultivation festival in 2004, and the excellent festival in 2005, it was designated as an excellent cultural tourism festival by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for five consecutive years from 2006 to 2010, and was selected as the honorary representative festival of Korea in 2014.

The exhibition "Impressionism, from Monet to America: Light, Across the Ocean" will be held at ALT.1 in Hyundai Seoul from February 15 to May 26. Water Lilies by Claude Monet, a painter loved by Koreans, is coming to Korea. Monet is an artist who captured the fleeting beauty created by light on canvas. He is known as the originator of Impressionist painters. That is why Monet's landscapes change in various ways depending on the light, which fascinates even those who are not familiar with art. Despite the global art market recession, Water Lilies was sold at Sotheby's in New York for $65.5 million two months ago. Last year, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Impressionism, major museums such as the Musée d'Orsay in France held Impressionist exhibitions and borrowed paintings, resulting in no chance for Impressionism to enter Korea. For this reason, the special exhibition that will open next month is expected by people inside and outside the art world as a heavyweight masterpiece exhibition of all ages to kick off the new year. The bridge of European and American Impressionism, Worcester masterpieces gather in one place The Korea Economic Daily, which has been making waves in the art world since the end of the year with the exhibition "Vienna 1900, Dream Artists", jointly held this exhibition with the Worcester Art Museum in the United States to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Vienna 1900. This is the place where Impressionism was born, and you can see 53 points. The organizer of the exhibition explained, "This is a special opportunity to show Korean visitors a new look at Impressionism." The exhibition includes works by Monet, Cézanne, Renoir and Camille Pissarro, which were exhibited at the "First Impressionist Exhibition" held in Paris in 1874, as well as works by John Singer Sargent, Childe Hassam, Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent. Alfred These are works by American Impressionist painters such as Sisley. This is because Impressionism, which originated in Europe, crossed the Atlantic and blossomed after encountering American nature, becoming the starting point of modern painting. Art lovers have high hopes for the exhibition commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Impressionism.

Kukje Gallery is pleased to present Ha Chong-Hyun, a solo exhibition of the pioneering Korean modernist, from March 20 to May 11, 2025, at K1 and Hanok.

The foundation for this rigorous commitment is Ha’s ongoing inquiry into the fundamental question: "What is painting?" Through a selection of approximately 30 works created between 2009 and the present, the exhibition includes various iterations of his renowned Conjunction series—from his original monochromatic works to more recent works characterized by colorful adaptations, vibrant gestures, and naturalism. It also features major works from his Post-Conjunction series, initiated in 2009, bringing together two continuously evolving and expanding pillars of Ha’s storied artistic practice.
