Gallery Hyundai

Great gallery space! Felt really fortunate to be able to catch Tomas Saraceno's works there. It's also free entry, so I highly recommend any art lovers to check out the ongoing exhibitions when you're in Seoul!

Exhibition: "Flower Paintings from the Joseon Dynasty" Paintings that were often called 'minhwa' because they were created by unknown artists, not by paintings for the royal family or the nobility, are for various purposes, education, decorations, etc. Back then, paintings sold on the market were called "painting" or "munbaehwa" because they were attached to doors. Ironically, the term Minhwa was created by the Japanese Yanagi Muneyoshi, who founded the Japanese Leadership Academy in 1936. During the Joseon Dynasty, he held a folk art movement centered on pottery and crafts, and through various writings in the 1950s, he also became known about the shock and mysterious beauty of Joseon folk paintings However, similar themes were used from the royal court to the aristocracy at the time, there is no fundamental difference between royal decorations and folk tales. Today, we are tying together a huge flow of painting culture that traversed the Korean Peninsula in modern times. It was very good exhibition to feel the beauty of folk arts.

An absolutely amazing exhibition consisting of exquisite Munjado from the Joseon period. If only it was a permanent exhibition. Looming forward to the next exhibition there. Friendly staff and lovely facilities.

The gallery is small but the exhibition gives amazing experience. It's worth to stop by

Great gallery! Well done exhibition

A gallery is all about the artists and the exhibitions it holds. This one never fails..I fell in love with the talented 35- year-old whose exhibition is on display right now. Kim Sung Yoon has been active for 10 years already , which is no surprise given his raw talent and keen eye. His "arrangement" exhibition is brilliant. He has taken the most sought-after, yet elusive, object the flower and recreated works of masters like Monnet successfully blending seasons, material, light, function, values. He has brought life to the traditional still life genre. Genius.. his depth and confident brushstrokes are a sight to behold.

Nice gallery. The artwork is spread out over 3 floors (basement, first and second floor), and the location is very convenient.

Hm not my cup of tea. Don’t know what to say. Very unspectacular. Was happy when I left
