Su Dongpo, a great writer and painter in the Song Dynasty of China, once said that the true meaning of painting lies not in the faithful imitation of the object, but in the freehand brushwork - that is, expressing the feelings of the literati. Compared with Western abstract painting, which went through a specific art history process from the late 19th century to the early 20th century and finally appeared as a combination of formal elements and individual subjectivity; East Asian painting is rooted in the tradition of Chinese literati painting, which regards painting as a carrier of spiritual expression. In Western modernism, when the artistic impulse cannot be satisfied through simple realistic reproduction, it turns to increasingly deepened abstract expression; while East Asian painting has always been an intellectual tool that enables artists to transcend the shackles of realism and directly point to the expression of philosophical ideas.

Artist Kim Chang-yeol (1929-2021), widely known for his water drop work, founded the Korean Contemporary Artists Association in 1957 and began his artistic activities in earnest, leading Korean-style informal art. He turned his attention to the international art world after participating in the 2nd Paris Biennale in 1961 and the São Paulo Biennale in 1965, and conducted various experiments until he settled in France after staying in the United States (1965-1969). After the success of his solo exhibition on the theme of water droplets in 1973, he devoted his life to one theme, which was like a journey to overcome the scars of war. The exhibition compiles his creative journey that led his life to water droplets, from his early work to his New York period, early years in France, and his later years. Through this exhibition, we aim to shed new light on the artist’s creative world, which sublimates the tragedy of modern history into water droplets.

Mueck is renowned for his surrealist sculptures that raise fundamental questions about human existence, life and death. His works are so detailed that they are indistinguishable from real people, exploring all aspects of life through the human figure.

The title alone gives one a sense of the ambiguity of the work. The word “mass” can refer to both a large amount and a huge amount, and each viewer has a different interpretation. In addition to this work, you can also see Ron Mueck’s signature work Woman, which depicts a pregnant woman.

To commemorate the 165th anniversary of the birth of Alphonse Mucha, the master of Art Nouveau, my art gallery will hold "Flowers of Art Nouveau: Alphonse Mucha Exhibition" from March 20, 2025 to July 13, 2025, providing audiences with the opportunity to directly appreciate Mucha's unique and symbolic art world. Art Nouveau is a unique art movement that does not follow any specific system or principles. With the rapid political, social and technological changes in Europe at the end of the 19th century, people felt the need to break away from the old order and embrace the new reality. Art Nouveau was born under such a demand of the times, and it had a significant impact on all aspects of visual art, including painting, sculpture, graphic arts, architecture, and decorative arts. Mucha's unique style, known as the "Muchaesque," combined with Slavic folk motifs, made him a representative figure of the Art Nouveau movement. This exhibition reveals how Mucha's art and philosophy expanded beyond his success and fame in France to include Czech national identity. Explore his artistic journey through more than 300 works, including his original posters, prints, drawings, book publications, and design decorations.
